I don\'t see a topic about this already so what do you guys think about Deon Sanders coming out of retirement to play DB for the Ravens?

The reports are that he has been running 4.3 40s ( :eek: :eek: :eek: ) in workouts.

The Ravens secondary hasn\'t looked that good in preseason and Deon as a Nickel back would be amazing. I literally can\'t wait for him to get his first pick return for a TD and do the "Primetime" Endzone Dance.

He\'s still fast (apparently) and at one point the dude could cover anybody like a rug.

We\'ll see.

Wish the Cowboys could have gotten him as a right corner back, who cares how long he\'s been out of the league. He\'d be a big improvement over Hunter and the rest of those clowns.

He\'ll benefit by playing with the Ravens D. They\'ll make him look good. It\'ll be interesting to see how he is when he comes back...and how he reacts to all the new excessive celebration rules

I love it...If I wanna see a bunch of thugs dancing and carrying on, I\'ll watch MTV... This is football, not a rap video. The owners pay these guys to do a job. So, essentially they celebrate doing their job correctly?!

^^^They get paid to play a f*cking game. If you want to watch a bunch of millionaires do nothing go to a Microsoft shareholders meeting. It is entertainment.

BTW, I like how you called them thugs. Nice addition.

give me a break! all these years nobody\'s ever had a problem with it,..so you just want them to score and just walk off the field? :rolleyes: and it wasn\'t just the BLACK players celebrating my friend..sheeit i\'d celebrate too if i scored after going up against a soild D...might as well kill the celebrations for all sports...the olympics baseball whatever..when the u.s. wins a gold..don\'t celebrate..no hugs or kisses just walk off the field..

when the yanks win the world series don\'t jump out onto the field just walk off the field in a timely fashion..:rolleyes:..yea chizz you know it\'s complete bulls**t..

now i won\'t go for the extremes like what terrel owens did in dallas or maybe even callin up your mom\'s on the cell phone..but everything else? there was nothing wrong with them celebrating....

first off, it\'s not a black thing, as much as you want it to be. I can\'t stand any celebratory performances. Jeremy Shockey is a retard, too. It just boils down to integrity and sportsmanship. You are part of a team. It\'s not "The Terrell Owens Show". Every other player on your team is just as responsible for getting you to the endzone as you are for getting there. Show some class. Show some restraint. It just says more for your character if you can perform well, score for your team, and not beat your chest like a lowland gorilla and dance like marky mark and the funky bunch.

IT. IS. A. FUCKING. GAME.

It is supposed to be fun. They are not suiting up for Jury duty. If you are not having fun playing the game why even do it?

That post made no sense at all. Are you drunk or something? This is football it is a game. WTF do you want them to do? They enjoy the game and show it on the field. It is a sport you know.

Thats ridiculous. Nobody would want to watch some monotone game with absolutely no emotion. I love to see big hits, trash talking, dancing, and a little fist pumping as much as possible. It makes the game even more entertaining. Of course there are limits, but those are to be decided by the officials. There is nothing wrong with celebrating. It gets the fans and the players excited, and makes the game even that much more thrilling.

Exactly what part of my statement made no sense? It is near-perfect english. And, it is my opinion, and not subject to correction. I guess I\'m the only person here who longs for the days of true sports heroes like Johnny Unitas or Joe Montana. Or how about Marvin Harrison? He seems to be able to restrain himself...

I completely agree, I hate the excessive celebration rules. You seriously can\'t do anything anymore, and it\'s just stupid. I love elaborate endzone dances and shit like that. It\'s a game of emotion, you should be able to display those emotions.

I hate a lot of other things the NFL does too. Take a look at Chad Johnson last year. He got fined for everything. For the shoes he wore every game for example. It just does too far if you ask me.
