bleedinggreennation.comWow, dick move Weston. The Philly D-Line was clearly in our offensive lineman's heads all night on Sunday. Moves like this indicate that. They dominated us

haha did he actually say that? Do NY people like Francesca?
1
He didn't... but it's believable that he would.
He has a legion of mouthbreathing fans. He's a troll. I avoid his show.

It was a super dirty play. To Coughlin's credit as soon as Richburg was on the sideline he was getting his ass chewed for like two minutes straight and I guarantee you he heard more about it after the fact too.

Fletcher Cox is the last motherfucker you want to make it personal with.
11
Seriously! Hahah
Where is the logic in going after the biggest motherfucker on the line who has been whoopin your ass all night?

Wow, that was pretty blatant...he's already on the ground...if you're going to fall on him, don't lead with the helmet...

Pretty blatant and dumb. Should be suspended but won't be. Hopefully he at least gets fined so he learns something.

Not only shameful, but dumb. A player with a helmet on the ground will not be hurt by a blow to the head like that. Reminds me of the time in high school when a dude started punching my facemask while the back of my helmet was on the ground. Coach told me he was proud I didn't retaliate. I just felt bad for the guy's hand.

Are you fucking kidding me?
He's using gravity + his mass + spearing his helmet into a guy lying on the ground.
Eat shit, homer.

Umm, I wasn't defending him. Quite the opposite, actually.
11
Oh yeah, I was really raging and wrongly read it is "Not shameful, but dumb. A player..."
See you at the Superbowl:)

What is this, 2037?

Don't get much more blatant than that. Dick move.

Is there a division in the NFL with more collective hate for each other other than the NFC east?

Nope there's just no way. I don't think any other division can mix and match the hatred like we do. As an eagles fan I would rank Giants then skins and cowgirls last if I had to make a list.
1
Is that a list of teams you hate? As far as rivalry goes it's gotta be NYG, DAL, then WSH
1
my list changes all the time. 2years ago it would've been cowgirls at the top but since Jackson got swapped and the giants d were talking shutout. Its different.
1
Mine goes Philly...NYG...then Washington.

I can hear the WWE/TNA crowds chanting his name like Goldberg already

It was a terrible hit, don't think anybody can really debate that. My homer spin on it is that he's a rookie who made a bad choice in the heat of the moment due to frustration in a game we were getting pounded. Whatever the reason it was a stupid, dangerous move that doesn't need to happen. I hope we never see something like that from him again, and I hope the coaches set him straight. Really not much more to say than that.
3
I hope he at least gets a fine too. He's hurting another human being and he's hurting his own team. No excuse for that kind of sh***

I've been viewing that as a given but who really knows with the NFL these days
1
They're ridiculous. They don't enforce the rules. Then they hyper enforce the rules.
1
Come on Westy, can't represent the Rams like that!
3
like seriously...
2
The only thing I want to know is whether this is the dirtiest play Bruce Arians has seen in 37 years of coaching.
3
He actually seemed like a pretty cool guy, from what I've heard.
Disgusting move, nonetheless.
2
this is worst than trying to twist someones ankles
2
Not to be pedantic but that isn't a spear it's a headbutt

Offensive linemen have superiority complexes

If he didn't miss he'd be in shitload more trouble.

He got flagged for unnecessary roughness. Dick move. Looks like he's trying to knock him out.
He "apologized" here: http://www.newsday.com/sports/football/giants/weston-richburg-on-spearing-flag-that-s-football-1.9496511
Oops. Wrong link.
it literally isn't
It's pretty dumb. He's a rookie, but I hope Coughlin rips him a new asshole for that. I mean what is he, six years old? I can't beat them between the whistles so I'm going to attack them after the whistles.
He needs to grow up. He's supposed to have been selected for his high character and he is definately being carried away by his emotions, but that's no excuse.
A Broncos player lost a lawsuit back in the day after a Bengals RB hit him in the back of the neck with an elbow drop well after the play was over, fracturing the guy's neck and ending his career.
The reason it he lost? The court pretty much said "that's football".
