I personally like the guy flipping the bird. I would have liked it even more had he battered some Browns.
I also like Gibbs' class-act. It all depends on the situation.
I defer to Greg Williams. Williams liked Danny Smith a lot, Gibbs seemed to (otherwise he wouldn't have hired the guy). Smith deserves some crap for kick return coverage, but punt return coverage has been quite good and our returns haven't been bad.

I dont really care what people do. I'm glad to see that they are into the game. They can pop off anything that isnt racist or predjuidce and it wouldnt bother me.

Do you take your kids to the game? Or do you flip off people in front of kids? My point is there is a time and place for this. I personally do not have a problem telling someone he is a asshole or flipping them off, for christ sake I am in the fod business and I have seen a few verbal spars in the kitchen. I do not have virgin ears nor a virgin mouth. But to do this in front of many people is wrong. I at least respect those who do not like cussing and swearing.
So if you guys don't seem to understand that this is wrong then F off (ha, ha)

I saw what I saw. In fact it was also on the post game radio station in Cleveland, and they were quite disgusted to. It is a dead issue and there are more important things I agree but I was pointing out a situation that occured that I thought was not cool. Guys on this site asked me what happened, so I explained. Also if the so called experts on the radio thought this was not a big deal then that is their choice. I think it speaks volumes about the so called character the Gibbs teams surrond themselves with. Example - If you are at work and a coworker flips off another person in front of many others, would that person still have a job today or would he/she be reprimanded? You can doubt if I saw it, but why would I even then bother stating it. I saw him do it and I personally think it is classless, don't you at least agree to that?
I understand your point CRT3 and I agree that it's classless. But sometimes emotions can takeover someones judgement and cause them to do stupid things. But my point is, is that Gibbs hasn't said anything and neither has the league, so let's move on and concentrate on winning a damn game!
I agree winning solves everything.
Flipping someone off is definitely wrong I don't think anyone is disputing that.
In the heat of the moment in a high energy, intense sport like football, much worse can and has happened.
I can't get too excited for this, sorry.

While I agree that it isn't a real big deal, it also isn't something I would expect from a Joe Gibbs coached team....maybe Parcells. Gibbs is a Christian man that does not swear and I would think that he would expect his staff to respect that and not do it themselves, especially in a way that could be "caught on film". I think Smith was probably reprimanded in private, which is the Gibbs way of doing things. And if the press had made a big deal about it Gibbs would have addressed it, but they didn't.
