Smitty and Roman Harper Article

[Davidson Deac II]

Well if the point was that Harper is an idiot, then yes everyone got the point.

wtf point was he trying to make. he's mad someone scored and is taunting them so he's going to "make a point"

only point I got from this is he is a complete douche bag

Him :D

Them is also sometimes used instead of the object pronouns him or her to refer to an individual person whose sex is not known or mentioned:

If someone phones, tell them I’m not here.

The thread on this in the Saints Forum is pretty interesting.

Seems half of them think Smitty is a punk and the other half think hes a hardcore player

I have nothing but respect for Steve Smith. He is as tough as they come, and just a flat out baller on the football field. I like that he isnt crying about the late hit either. Sure he talks a lot, but he has earned the right to talk based on what he does on the field. Lets just give respect where its due. Smith is a real football player, and the Saints are a better team than the Panthers.

I don't know how anyone could read that and not see that Smith was trying to weasel out of the fact that he showboated on his way to the endzone by slowing down to a walk and daring Harper to catch him.

He's trying to make it sound like Harper just hit him b/c he scored. He's a passive-aggressive little punk, always has been.

The most Smith did was slow down to a jog. Nobody was going to catch him-the closest player (Harper) was like 20 yards away.

Also lol at "passive aggressive" Steve Smith.

[monstercat]

Seriously, where was the showboating? I have seen players slow down like that at least a hundred times without some defensive player taking a cheap shot at them. What made this time so different?

If Harper wanted to make a point, he should have stopped Smitty from scoring. Otherwise, just nut up and take it like a man.

I was a little surprised @ Smitty's response... not the part about not wanting an apology but the whole "turn the other cheek" theme to it.

Like I said, now that we know the Saints feelings about celebrating in the end-zone, I say we return the favor the next time we see them.

Using this as a baseline, are we to assume that Mark Ingram deserved a nut shot for his dance number?

That's what I was thinking, I guess according to the Saints rules Ingram deserved death.

It was a classic text-book example of taunting, he got right in Gamble's face and did his stupid little dance... why a flag wasn't thrown is beyond me.

I'm pretty sure a flag was thrown. There was a lot of commotion though and I don't think the cameras showed the ref calling the penalty.

[the butch]

Yep pretty sure there were flags on both plays. Needless to say they didn't hurt the saints one bit.

Harper is a ghetto thug who would be in prison or dead if he wasn't in the NFL. I would love him to get cancer.

I wouldn't go that far. After watching several family members taken from me, I wouldn't wish cancer on anyone. Just saying.
