Been sayin' it all along ... Watson is an arrogant ass, fits in real well with Boulware, etc. The one I've lost all respect for is Venables, who obviously is teaching them to hold, hit late, try to hurt players, and celebrate after every play. Besides the fact that he just looks like a psycho nutcase during the game.
Would love for the Saints to bring back their headhunting reward system for those two.
Now that's funny. Fire Marshall Bill. So true.
Churlish versus Class, I agree.
I don't hate the kid. He's a heck of a player and I understand he's come a long way. It's the show boating that gets old and I don't care for it when our guys do it either.
I repeat, Swearinger should have been disciplined or benched until he understood what is acceptable celebrating (as a team), not individual posing or swagger to call undue attention to yourself ... just like Watson. Obviously neither Spurrier did, or Dabo does, have the backbone to do it.
All great athletes have egos ... most just know not to flaunt their celebrations and try their best to deflect attention from themselves to their teammates. Watson is a great athlete and a great college QB, no question there. My problem with any player, or any coach who encourages or allows individual showboating, is a lack of class and sportsmanship in their actions. it matters not to me which sport they play, or which level they're playing, or if they wear garnet or orange. When you have a team's best defensive player publicly criticizing the school media machine for too much hyping of the best offensive player (as happened just this week with the above mentioned team), then the head coach has let things get out of hand as far as the team concept is concerned!
The announcers said that there is no way you cannot like this guy, class act all the way.
