I am old enough to have seen him play, honestly I dont care about him one way or the other. I just find it odd that you complain about every player ever mentioned on these forums

I find it odd you care so much about what I think...

PS -- I support Gronk.  (among others)

Serial adulterer, whopping drug habit, carelessly shot an employee/friend and then tried to shaft him, used threats of suicide to manipulate people (clearly indicates some level of mental instability, which I do have some compassion for).....

Payton was a human being and like all of us, a flawed human being. 

That it's named for him just seems odd to me since the spirit of that award seems to run completely counter to Payton's off-the-field behaviour --- he had a well cultivated public image which was very contrary to the truth (and I don't think he asked for the award to be named for him, it was renamed for him after he passed).

Seems like the Payton's have common interest.. Sean and Walter...

You Don’t support NFL MOY And Panther legend Thomas Davis. You Don’t support noted incredible human being Walter Payton. You DO support dirty player, meathead, and questionable character Gronk. Hmmmmmm

Wow, some of you shock me at how angry you got or how serious you took my post.

 

It’s the off-season fellas, lighten up a bit and have some fun.

 

I was reading an article about how it’s our 25th anniversary next year and it hit me that we may do a patch for it, then remembered the NFL is doing a 100th patch... which then occurred me to that it would have been funny to see a player with 4 patches on their uniform.

 

Figured it was a funny image to picture, wanted to share a lighthearted moment, but man do I forget that this place is just filled with hate 99% of the time.

 

WOW........

I support Luke too.

Walter Payton was an incredible NFL running back, he was not an "incredible human being"...read the article.  That said, I have no problem with Walter Payton living his life any way he chooses to, I just think it's laughable the NFL would name that particular award after him.

Here's the thing about Gronk, he doesn't pretend to be anything other than what he is...a fun loving guy who is one helluva football player.  Sure, Gronk's no mental giant, so what...the world needs some meatheads too (and the NFL really needs a LOT of them!).

Interesting you would smear Gronk by suggesting he is a "dirty player" and is of "questionable character".  For sure Gronk lost his mind that time with Tredavious White and it cost him a 1-game suspension, and $281,250 in cash -- but that was a one-time thing with him.  Outside of that he only has 3 other fines, the biggest being $9,115...only one of those was for unecessary roughness, the other 2 were for his role in a "brawl" and "taunting".  So, in reality he only has 2 fines related to on-field actions during play....hardly the track record of a "dirty player".

Let's compare & contrast that with the track record of your hero PED58.  He has 7 fines related to on-field actions(and 1 other big one) including a 1-game suspension for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Devante Adams, cost him $238,051 (makes less money than Gronk so a smaller amount, same level of punishment though).   Then there are 6 others including helmet-to-helmet hits (3 total), unnecessary roughness (1), late hits (2), and striking a defenseless player (1).  James Harrison who was notorious for rough play had a cleaner track record than that.

Lastly, let's not forget "character"....your hero PED58 got busted for steroids and then lied about it....real high character move there.  So, you're right, I do not support PED58, nor do I have any obligation to (same with you re: Gronk).

I support Colin Jones too....  (among others)
