Gronkowski is on the sideline as a special alumni guest and standing next to Belichick. Brady is flushed from the pocket and Ed Oliver, Tremaine Edmunds, and Jerry Hughes all converge on him at the same time, launching him off the field into Belichick and Gronkowski. What is left is a pile of mangled arms and legs and headsets... BEYOND cool vision.....I too would cheer my lungs out.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pollard takes out Brady's knee, reports he tore his ACL verberate through the Ralph. Bills fans AND Seahawks fans were literally high fiving eachother. I had fans in my section buying eachother beers in celebration. To act like this is mutually exclusive to just one fan base is stupid. Is it a bad look, yes, but to act like only Toronto does it... You are correct , I was there too and remember it well. The replay was shown in the stadium. For the record, yes I hi fived other fans around me and don’t regret it one bit; I really hate that player and relished the moment. Great play by Pollard. Would I have the same reaction to a player being in a car crash or getting shot in the D.R. ? Nope. But on the field of play, all is fair game ( I don’t mean a blatant cheap shot after the play a la Gronk). The holier than thou attitude of some is hilarious. It’s a brutal sport, and fans get passionate about it. On the field these guys are well compensated modern day gladiators. It appeals to something in the deep dark recesses of our less -refined nature. I’m not going to pretend otherwise. That may work for some, but why kid yourself?

Over 29 years of fanhood Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 This topic just isn’t a good one for speculation. Ed O will need to test the theory on Brady. As a rookie I think it’s appropriate for him to be assigned the task. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention that it is rare that any fan knows the extent of the injury when it happens. Gory Joe Theismann injuries are rare and I can’t see people cheering something that, but in a game where people get knocked down all of the time or tweak things and come back to play it’s tough to blame fans for most of it. Heck, sometimes they’re just cheering the action or for something else. As for Toronto, it was a chance to close out their first NBA championship so I can’t believe that most of those fans weren’t cheering their asses off the whole freaking game. I don’t know how many actually cheered the injury, but I can’t imagine they could’ve possibly known the extent. After all, GS just said it was a calf strain. GS should have to answer some uncomfortable questions around that by the way. Edited June 12, 2019 by BarleyNY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJS Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 3 hours ago, thebandit27 said: Really? You guys haven't watched him play? He's constantly spearing people and taking cheap shots whenever posssible. Just last season, in the MNF game against Buffalo, he called for a fair catch and not only blocked the gunner, but did so by taking a helmet-to-helmet shot at him: Note that this was AFTER he called for a fair catch, so it's 100% a non-contact play. Edelman knows it; this is purely an intent-to-injure situation. Not at all unusual for him. It's what he does. He was fined for 3 separate cheap shots in Week 16 alone: https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/12/29/julian-edelman-fined-63504-for-three-separate-fouls/ And wouldn't you know...one of them was the EXACT SAME THING he did in the previous game: He's a cheapshot artist. Dirtiest player in the game, and yes, that includes Vontaze Burfict Ok. Good point. There is that. I still think he is miles away from being the dirtiest player in the game, though. Burfict is far more dirty. Suh is more dirty. Plenty of guys are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted June 12, 2019 Share Posted June 12, 2019 (edited) I thought it was terrible behavior by Raptors fans. It wasn’t the cheering when he went down as there was a fast break. It was cheering/jeering KD while he was being helped off the court. People should know better. It’s not like this is the first time someone got injured in front of fans. I hope fans wouldn’t cheer Brady getting seriously hurt. Edited June 12, 2019 by VW82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's not act like we're above cheering injuries in Buffalo. I was utterly disgusted then, and I'd be utterly disgusted in the future. This was one of the worst moments in the history of the Buffalo Bills. Up until that point, I thought that we had some of the best fans in the world. When this happened, I realized that, although some or our fans are great, there are far too many who are no better than the lowest common denominator. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still respect him as the GOAT. I would never root for him to get injured on the field but I would still get a chuckle if he couldn't play due to constipation or bloody hemorrhoids.

I was at that game and was happy to hear he wouldn't be playing the rest of the season. I wasn't happy about the type of injury, just happy the odds of the Bills beating the *patsies greatly increased. There couldn't have been many in the stadium that said "Brady is out for the rest of the season? Oh darn, what a shame." Well, Brady's injury seemed like good news at the time but it didn't actually help the Bills. Even without Brady, the Pats beat the Bills twice and finished last in the division after losing 2-6 in the second half of the season after starting 5-3.

I like where we stand at this point. Time will tell. My point was that cheering an injury to a key player pn a hated rival means nothing if your own team is uncompetitive anyways. Through virtually the entirety of the twenty first century, the Bills have made their own misery, and splitting with Pats when they were swept by them would have resulted int the Bills making the playoffs only once in 2004 and it was only in 2002 that beating the Pats at least once could have given the Bills a winning season and possibly a playoff berth depending upon tie breakers.

Players and media we're quick to object and denounce these cheers. I've never been one to cheer an injury. But, if TB12 went down during a game in Orchard Park... Welllllll...?! Do you think the crowd would cheer? Is he the only one who'd get that treatment? Yes I think there would be a number of fans who would cheer. On a side note I am not sure that all the fans who cheered in Toronto were cheering that KD was injured; the cheering got loudest when he got up to hobble off the court. I think some of the fans were giving the traditional cheer to an injured player when they get up not cheering his injury. Again I'm sure some were cheering the injury but not all or most.
