[quote=punch it in;948344]Did you happen to catch the close up of him when RG3 was leading the Skins down the field and he knew he was going to have to kick another one? The dude looked like he was going to cry. I mean he looked like he pissed himself and just wanted to cry - he was so nervous. Funny thing is I absolutely had not a doubt in my mind that he was going to make it.[/quote]was it when he was warming up or sitting on the bench? i can't remember which one i noticed, but yeah, he looked like a little kid who just got yelled at by his dad or something

*edit like a little kid ^

[quote=punch it in;948339]Ok so london fletcher is a dick, darrell green is a dick. Is there ANYTHING else you would all like to let me know before i cry myself to sleep?

I have an Art Monk autographed 1980(?) redskins program or team capsule or something From skins training camp when it was in Carlysle PA. My Dad took me. Monk was a rookie so maybe he was still digging the autographs but if anyone tells me he was a dick too im gonna flip out.

Well you know the story about Art Monk and the limo...

Seriously though, I didn't say Fletcher is a dick. He's not. He's just an all business, no time for anything else but football kind of guy. Doesn't make him a dick. He's not rude to anybody really

Re: Redskins vs Bucs Post Game Reaction
 

So I won't say much here about Darrell Green, because he is someone whom I would talk to during the school events he would show up to. Once I got to know Darrell I thought he was a real nice guy. He just wants his space. Some athletes will sign autographs all day because they love the attention. Some won't sign any. Some will rarely sign some depending on when or where you catch them. Redskin fans, meet Darrell Green. I have a friend who met Ronnie Lott and asked him for an autograph and Ronnie acted like he wanted him to watch his car for 30 mins like it was such a hassle and a big deal. A lot of it depends on the Athlete and the time and place where you see them.

Thats cool.
I would like to think there are at least a few who sign because they realize what a priviledge it is in to be in their position and appreciate the fans.

I saw his face - he looked shook. I was concerned by his demeanor because I could tell that he was overwhelmed. My concerns increased as the kick approached that right upright.

It's probably the right thing to keep him on the team since he made the kick but I wouldn't be mad if he were released. I have some doubts about his ability to focus under pressure after this game. As a professional athlete (or any role in life actually) it is very important to be able to [I]use[/I] stress and channel it into focus in clutch situations.

Watch tomorrow on the news:
Redskin great Art Monk found in limo with drugs and a prostitute refuses to sign autograph for the police officer. Lmao.

Not a big autograph guy myself but in general my rule is if it isn't an event where they could expect that they'll be asked to sign I don't ask. I don't even like to approach because I know constantly having people coming up to me, even real politely, would drive me bonkers. Golden rule and all...

If the situation seems cool and it doesn't look like I'd be much of a bother I might toss something conversational at them to gauge their willingness.

Wow...we couldn't be more off-track here.

Haha. We sort of got on track again with the cundiff demeanor thing. @ imaskin4life - dont forget about the missed chip shot to put the ravens in the superbowl last year. You KNOW that was going thru his head too.

Judging by what I saw Sunday I would have to guess that it was. Now if I am the Ravens staff, I don't fire him for just missing that kick. But if I see him standing in a puddle of urine with his lip quivering before the kick, he's gone.

Lmao. Thats totally what he looked like. Nice.
