Pet Peeves Committed By Today's Players

Todays football players do some things that make me shake my head in disgust.

Some of them:

* When a defensive back or linebacker drops what looks like an interception, they fall onto the ground pounding the turf, acting like they make that play everyday. Thats why they don't play offense and do play defense...they usually can't catch or hold onto the ball.

* When a receiver can't make a play and looks for the official and starts pulling on his jersey as if he were held.

* Trash talk between receivers and defensive backs.

* Players who act like they made a catch but didn't actually make the catch. The instant replay is going to show everyone the truth. What ever happened to honest and integrity? What happened to taking pride in what you really did instead of faking like you did something and hope that you can lie and steal?

My pet peeve is when its third and 6 and the offense makes a first down and the guy that made the tackle jumps up and acts like he did something great . I'm like he made a 1st down , stfu and do your job

I hate it when the opposing team has a predator mascot like say a tiger...and they let the tiger go to attack the opposing team. For example when LSU is playing South Carolina and lets it's tiger loose and the opposing team has to rely on a chicken to defend them. I really hate that......

I hate getting at least a couple of procedure penalties and occasionally a defensive holding thrown in for good measure. Oh wait... That was the last year, not this one!!!

The chest pounding and pointing to the sky after making a tackle, more times than not a sack or tackle behind the line of scrimmage, has really gotten irritating to me.

According to a friend who did some research , in 57 the Baylor bear mauled Smokey. I have had several dogs that I would like to see the damn bear try... but they are 3- 4 times Smoky's size and fairly mean!

Here's one from announcers: "He broke contain". Isn't it "He broke containMENT?"

I hate blocks in the back on punt returns too, but it happens on every return so I guess I should get used to it.

save the U.S. don't let your kid play soccer

I guess I'm just old fashioned, but I hate guys with longer hair and bigger earrings than me. I also hate it when I see the same guy's helmet fly off over and over again in a game. It happened at Florida and all I could think of was damn, I'd put his ass on the bench. Dude obviously wasn't strapping in correctly. I hate the popcorn dance too. The team looks like a pan of Jiffy pop when they start doing that hip hop cheer in the 4th quarter.
