[QUOTE=Redskins88]Mark Brunell was standing out in the field talking and smiling.....and no, I'm not one of the ones trying to roast Brunell out of his starting position.[/QUOTE]

Why does this loss hurt me so much more than it hurts Brunell. I have nothing to do with the team!

Re: Redskins smiling and laughing after loss
 

I think its ridiculous to think that Brunnell doesn't want to win just b/c he's talking and smiling w/ an old teamate. That's stupid. Watch the locker room report and you tell me these guys don't want to win. That's like expecting everyone not to smile the week of a loss. Come on. I watched S. Springs last year on Monday Nite Live answer a question that started w/ How can you come on the TV and smile after a loss. He described how pissed he is after every loss and you could tell. He didn't like that question and I respect him. Brunell too. He is a professional.

Consider the context guys, players laughing and smiling after a game isn't uncommon.

Old friends meeting up and sharing a quick laugh is something that's totally understandable.

Are you telling me if you meet up with an old friend in a similar situation you would blow them off because you just lost a game?

Let's also remember it is just a game afterall, it's not life or death. I think the fans often take things much harder than the players do.

Re: Redskins smiling and laughing after loss
 

agreed. theyre professionals. they arent going to smile and chat with old college and pro teammates during the game so a quick word after shudnt be a problem. i think that the vets are used to it and know when the cameras going to be on them. they put up an act maybe until they are in the locker room. and some guys just take losses differently but we dont know if that has any impact on the will to win.

i dont know about you guys but ive become numb to the redskins after so many disappointing yrs. the wins feel as great as ever but the losses arent nearly as bad as b4.

[QUOTE=mooby]I'm sure Royal is laughing this week, because he knows even though he dropped all those passes he's still gonna get paid. [/QUOTE]

that's kind of a deuche bag thing to say because he's probably hurt the most because he is blaming himself, he also isn't making nearly as much money as most of the team.

Reading the quote from Washington Post Royal was in tears.

Re: Redskins smiling and laughing after loss
 

These guys are pros, they play the game, win it or lose it and move on. Thats what separates the pros from the college guys, pros get over the loss by monday afternoon while college guys are in a funk until thursday.

I think that a player just playing for the money is the exception to the rule. I would say most players love playing football and yes they do enjoy a nice payday after all is said and done. If you asked all the players who played in the NFL for 3 or more years what amount of their salery on a given year they would have given up if they could have made the SB you would be suprised at the amount of money they would have done without. Just look at the Pats and how they can sign players to smaller contracts because of their disire to play in a SB. I also think that the players just playing for the money don't last very long in the NFL.
