But he is the one who lit them in the first place with his off the field commentary and on-the-field antics.

- Sorry, his "celebrations" were taunts of his opponents and celebrations of his personal acheivement in a team game.

- In Philly, when the media showed up in droves on his driveway, did he do ANYTHING to dissuade the ensuing media circus.

- How many QB's did he throw under the bus?

- His latest sleeping and failure to prepare statements, just the kind of example I hold up for my son on how to take advantage of the gifts given to you.

On top of all that, he consistently plays the victim card as if he had nothing to do with the incredible scrutiny he has brought upon himself. He is the epitome of a poor sport and his failure to acknowledge his own selfishness enrages me.

Okay - done with my rant.

So your saying that when he scored that TD years back and went to stand on the Dallas star you did not get a laugh out of that?
