That cell phone placement
It's been an issue. I would hope it's been adressed, but I really don't know one way or the other. I haven't seen any followups on the matter.
I would agree that that pretty clearly crosses the line, and shouldn't be tolerated.
I would disagree with you painting the whole fanbase with a broad brush based on a few assholes' actions, though.
I'm sure there were classy fans there and I'm not attempting to say that all were cut from the same cloth. I will say the vocal ones spewing the venom were the ones I remembered, kinda how you are more likely to more vividly remember bad service at a restaurant vs. really good service.
Yeah, watching your team lose on the field is injury enough already. Anything more is unnecessary.
kiss of deathGood luck to your 49ers tomorrow, FMT!

There is a line between good-natured sports antagonism and stuff that isn't okay. Outside of obvious things like assault, getting in people's faces, etc., nothing in that story seems out of line to me. Unless there were some guys that specifically just targeted him with their bile and just would not let it go, in which case he could have just talked to security and it would've been taken care of.
That said, I'm sorry he didn't enjoy himself, since I know NFL tickets are very expensive, but that's a risk you knowingly (or at least it should be) take when you go to a road game.

I think I almost hate you as much as KaveGood luck to your Chargers tomorrow, man!
Haha, that's not exactly how I meant it there, but that too!Now see, THAT'S how you trash talk.
The only fans that we can all agree are clownshoes are Pats fans. Broad brush and all.
I want to agree with you. But not even them. Only 99%. Our two Germans are cool guys aside from their poor NFL team choice.
Every fanbase has asshats, though from personal experience, Saints fans and especially Packers fans have been great.
Lol thats cause up until very recently Saints have been a historically shitty team. They've had some playoff appearances but mostly have been terrible. And since the turn around is fairly recent they remember those rough days.
Hey, the 12th Man was from when we were shit and struggling in futility. Get your facts straight!Yea Seahawks fans are mostly asshats. I've heard many similar stories from road team fans visiting CenturyLink. The team was the best of a historically shitty division for a few years, lucked into a SB appearance and got completely exposed. The fanbase never had to deal with true heartbreak like a Bills or Browns fan, and so they don't know how to act when the team is actually good.
When people ask me what Seahawks fans are like, I tell them "like Steelers fans without the championships." Frothing at the mouth with their 12th man bullshit like a Yinzer waving his silly fucking towel.
Every fanbase has asshats of course, though from personal experience, Saints fans and especially Packers fans have been great.
exactly my point
If you're a seahawks fan and don't want to be seen as a coward you should want the Niners to make it to the NFC championship. You're Superbowl win over the Chargers will be seen as fraudulent otherwise.

Almost
We kneeled down within field goal range instead of scoring on our final drive. It didn't have to be as close as it was, but that's all we needed to win.The Panthers almost beat the Seahawks week one when we were still playing shitty.
Why wouldn't they be able to beat them in the NFC Championship game?
I thought we were friends.
Can't trust Miami scum. We only have each other, friend.
Too good not to pass along, The University of Texas hires a new coach
No it actually isn't. Have You been to arenas across the country? I have. Madison Square Garden, that shit wasn't happening. Yankee Stadium, CitiField... it wasn't happening. Oracle Arena in San Fran...wasn't happening. Portland, Oregon...I was there a few Saturdays ago...no of that shit was happening. No on was getting targeted before during and after all those events because they had an opposing jersey on.
I can go on.
It's NOT like that in 95% of "big time sporting events"...this was something else but it's cool, man.
Sounds like you would have fit right in at CenturyLink with your attitude in the bolded.
fixed:jnc
Williams, and Peters talking shit after the game saying the Saints were not better, Sorry bros but you guys lost the game, so yes they were better then you last night. I might be an eagles fan, but I am not stupid either.
“I felt like this was the year,” left tackle Jason Peters said. “We would have won, we would have had to go face [No. 2 seed] Carolina. I felt real good about playing them, but like I said, we got knocked out and we’re at home now.
“They got lucky and beat us. We beat ourselves in the first half and they came out with the win.”

“We lost to a team that wasn’t necessarily better than us,” Williams said. “They weren’t better than us. Period. But [they were] better tonight. They got the job done.”
So dumb. NFL players apparently get paid to lick ESPN's balls.Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter
This week NFL fined Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch $50,000 - $50,000! - for not speaking to media throughout this season, per Seattle source.

Football is played over four quarters, not three, and that fumble was forced!So the Panthers weren't leading that game going into the fourth quarter and Deangelo Williams didn't have a fumble that completely changed the complexion of that game?
Over/under on Chiefs wins next season? 6? 7? didn't they finish 2-6 or was it 3-5?
