Thanks for your support!
Although it's kind of annoying coming from Shockey, if I were Mr. McNair I would correct this.Anyone hear Shockey's post game comments? He said we had about 12 players crossing their arms during the Anthem before the game.
He went on and on about it.
Funny thing is, this isn't the first time this has been brought up.
I agree! It's been reported more than once, twice, three times.Although it's kind of annoying coming from Shockey, if I were Mr. McNair I would correct this.
When else did this go down in the past? And screw Shockey.Anyone hear Shockey's post game comments? He said we had about 12 players crossing their arms during the Anthem before the game.

I love how that post reads..When else did this go down in the past? And screw Shockey.
We (the team) have been called out by not standing "at full attention" during the National Anthem several times.First I've heard of this. What is this all about?
I'm pretty sure this isn't a gender-specific phenomenon. My allergies always seem to flare up when the National Anthem gets played. It's the damndest thing...As someone who gets a little misty eyed every time (I am a girl after all) they play that anthem, it bugs me.
Jeremy Shockey had a reason for his obnoxious (un-penalized) taunting after his touchdown reception on Sunday. Or at least a reason he gave reporters.
Apparently, the Carolina tight end thought the host Texans didn’t show proper respect toward America in the pregame festivities.
Shockey told reporters that he was upset some of the Texans did not place their hands on their hearts during the National Anthem before the Panthers’ 28-13 victory at Reliant Stadium.
Shockey scored on a 9-yard touchdown pass from Cam Newton in the second quarter. He broke tackles by DeMeco Ryans and Jason Allen to reach the end zone, then got in their faces and taunted them.
It gave the Panthers a 14-0 lead in their 28-13 victory.
Agree, if a person wants to be a disrespectful ass during the anthem, it is indeed their right. No disrespect or sarcasm intended there, Sam. Just the way I feel.I don't have a problem with it. They're allowed to stand anyway they want during the anthem.
Says a lot about the team's attitude pre-game. Arms crossed tells me that they weren't taking the other team seriously or the moment.Anyone hear Shockey's post game comments? He said we had about 12 players crossing their arms during the Anthem before the game.

Luv Ya Too, you dirty old manLuv ya Kimmy.
But as US citizens, we have the right to disagree with our government. Personally, I don't think the Texans players are making a political statement here, they're just being football players. Most of whom are making a thousand times as much as they would if they had to actually work for living. This is much ado about nothing as I see it.
You're required to when you cross the quarterdeck. This includes quarterdecks that are ashore.Luv Ya Too, you dirty old man
I agree, as much as it is their right not to respect the flag, it's as much my right to be annoyed by it.
It didn't really bother me till my daughter entered the Navy. We were lucky enough to attend a "tiger cruise" on her carrier. Watching all those soldiers stop and salute the flag before they came aboard really changed my way of thinking
Serving our country is good. I did, and I'm glad I did. It allows me a freedom of thought that when I believe our nation is on the wrong track, I can call them out on it not only because it's my right, but also because I gave them a part of my life. I know where you are coming from, and it disturbing that some don't get it. Don't lose your thoughts because of others, just keep in mind that a nation of millions of folks don't all think alike.Luv Ya Too, you dirty old man

Meco must have given him amnesia when he f'ed him up during that scrimage a few years ago.He also called Demeco, "Demario Ryans, or whatever."
Required, yes, but she loved it.I imagine players are contractually held to a standard of conduct -- either by the teams or the league. So if there's really a problem it will be handled by Mr. McNair or Goodell.
You are always safe with 'seafarers'Required, yes, but she loved it.
And yes, Sailors I was trying so hard not to type seamen

Shockey needs toI agree! It's been reported more than once, twice, three times.
Having had a kid in the Navy and knowing how much they respect that flag, brings it home a little more for me.
Understandable, someone who is not intelligent enough to type a sentence probably would not "like" America or even understand your freedom.at this point in time i dont really like america either no pride in it is what i mean
Then get the hell out. I'll send you a few hundred bucks for a one-way ticket to wherever the **** you want.at this point in time i dont really like america either no pride in it is what i mean
So you are Ok with the current state of America ?Then get the hell out. I'll send you a few hundred bucks for a one-way ticket to wherever the **** you want.
Disgusting. Add another one to the list.
I'm proud of this country no matter which dumb****s are leading us.So you are Ok with the current state of America ?
Dont send me money , just a one way first class ticket to the Cook Islands .....

DeMeco Ryans couldnt make the play and it was an easy touchdown. Again, this offense in my opinion is very hard to learn and as a defensive player you have to be on or someone will be open as I was and Cam [Newton] did a good job of finding people open.
at this point in time i dont really like america either no pride in it is what i mean
Good post - pretty much how I feel about the entire situation as well .....Gov. and country are two separate entities.
I LOVE my country but I HATE the Gov. (politicians) that are raping it.
No matter how much the Gov. drives this country to the ground I will ALWAYS be proud of my country even if the leaders are shameful.
