Patriot Helmet Stickers

Bleed -- from what I remember, he saved her while dying himself. Why people go out on something like that without a life jacket is besides me. I'm a very strong swimmer, and I won't go out and do water sports without a life jacket, or at least water wings!

Even canoing, I watched a guy drown right in front of me on the Shenandoah River because he tipped and got sucked in by an undertow. It doesn't take a lot to drown and a life jacket will do much better at pulling you up. (Strangely enough, the person that died was the Brother of one of my step-dad's clients in Michigan, small world)

I was referring to why I don't think there was as much public sentiment for his death, not the overall importance of it, which is impossible to quantify. I believe that she hung on to a buouy and he never made it to her, but did try to talk calmly to her and reassure her--which is definitely honorable.

And yeah, I have a speed boat, I go wakeboarding every weekend during the summer. To do anything out on the water without a lifejacket on is a bad idea beyond description.

I don't care much about the other teams outside our division, but for respect sake, it would have been nice to see the Giants wear the sticker (making it every team in the East -- Philly and Dallas did).

I would expect nothing less from the league's least classy franchise. Their owner is a drunk, their coach is a punk, and their QB is an arrogant pretty boy.

I thought you were going to finish out the limerick.

Are people really getting up in arms over a helmet sticker?

:doh:

The Pats already have a sticker for their own teammate. I didnt see the Skins or any other team wearing 91 stickers to honor the Pats fallen teammate.

Have the pats been wearing 91 all season or all of a sudden?

Yes they have.

Everyone needs to chill out. People are just finding another way to bitch and moan about The Pats. I didn't have a problem with it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the Pats had their #21 stickers on for their game with the Ravens this past Monday night, and I believe last weekend was the only required weekend that teams were supposed to have the stickers on. What each team and each individual does is their own business. Class or respect has very little to do with it. The Pats paid their respects and decided to move on. Other teams have decided to leave them on. So be it.

From Monday night game vs. Ravens:

The only two teams that I saw that didn't were the Pats and the Giants. In any event, does it really surprise anyone that when the Patriots are one of the few teams to not do it? I don't mean to make it a bigger deal than it is, but I have grown to despise the Pats. It has nothing to do with their dominance (which I respect), it has to do with their utter lack of class. Between Belichick cheating on his wife, Belichick cheating in the game, Brady dumping his pregnant girlfriend for a supermodel, Belichick shoving reporters, Belichick publicly denigrating Mangini, Brady being an arrogant a**hole in press conferences, Belichick running up the score just to boost his own ego, Roosevelt Colvin doing the Lights Out dance after the victory over the Chargers in the playoffs, Jabar Gaffney mocking the Eagles' wings, etc. I hate that team with a burning passion.


sounds like another team we depise...
