Results tagged “Welker” from Robert Littal Presents The Infamous BlackSportsOnline

Let me preface this by saying this has nothing to do with Wes Welker. I am a big Wes Welker fan and I liked the Snow Angel celebration. I have absolutely no problem with it but what I do have a problem with the announcers calling the touchdown.

Why all of a sudden when Wes Welker gets penalized for celebrating the rules must be changed? When it is T.O., Chad Johnson or any other wide receiver in the league they are "hurting the team", "being selfish", "only thinking about themselves and not the rules of the game" and "being disrespectful to the league".

I can't stand hypocrites. It doesn't matter if it is T.O. or Welker if you are going to say that celebrating is bad stick with your story, don't change your opinion just because you "like" the player celebrating.

That is my #1 pet peeve with the bias mainstream media be it a man (or woman) stick to your convictions don't play favorites. Makes me sick really.

From the beginning I have said that players should be able to celebrate anyway they want. Regardless if it is Wes Welker or Randy Moss and I am not going to change that because I like one player over another. Then people wonder why no one respects the media.

Wes Welker was "Jacked Up" by Ryan Clark. Had me going:

I give him credit for getting back into the game. Say what you want about Welker he is tough especially considering his size. Definitely a cheap shot by Ryan Clark guess he has been getting lessons from the Hines Ward school of dirty hits.

*Edit*

I forgot this is Pittsburgh Steelers fans we are talking about, so I have to expand on an obvious thought. Watch the play objectively. As the ball is tipped all of the Steelers on the play stop. Except for Clark who can clearly see that the ball is going to the ground. He proceeds to take two steps and launch himself into Welker. Now it was not helmet to helmet. He definitely hit him with his shoulder, but was it necessary? No. Was it a cheap shot? Yes. Was Clark trying to send a message to the Patriots? Of course.

Should it have been a penalty? Yes. Fine? That is questionable because he didn't lead with the head, so I would say no the penalty was enough.

Now that is an objective unbiased view of the play. I would suggest you try to do the same.
