PrintNeed to switch up to football because I can't believe this hasn't been brought up on BN yet. So how many of you guys took in the NFL action yesterday. And I am talking about the game between the Denver Broncos and Kansas City Chiefs yesterday afternoon over at Mile High. Surprised gbruin our other BNers from Colorado haven't alerted us to this yet. I had been waiting for them to speak up on this.
So, I am just going to point out what took place when KC took over up 44-24, after intercepting Kyle Orton on their own 23 with just 2:43 left in the game:
1st and 10 at KC 20 J.Williams up the middle to KC 22 for 2 yards (V.Holliday). Timeout #1 by DEN at 02:37. 2nd and 8 at KC 22 M.Cox up the middle to KC 24 for 2 yards (L.Smith). Timeout #2 by DEN at 02:33. 3rd and 6 at KC 24 J.Williams right end to KC 29 for 5 yards (L.Smith). Timeout #3 by DEN at 02:25. 4th and 1 at KC 29 D.Colquitt punts 65 yards to DEN 6, Center-T.Gafford. A.Smith to DEN 2 for -4 yards. Lateral to J.Barrett to DEN 7 for 5 yards (M.Brown). DRIVE TOTALS: KC 44, DEN 24, 3 plays, 10 yards, 0:18 elapsed

So what happened there? How come KC didn't dial up the bomb to show up the Broncos?
I am not hearing any Chiefs (especially Trojan alum - Kansas City QB - Matt Cassel making the argument that Josh McDaniel (Broncos Head Coach) had disrespected them. Of course KC didn't throw a bomb in response to Broncos' TOs and did the classy thing by trying to run out the clock.
It is still mind boggling to me there are few so called Bruin fans who are out there who think CRN "asked for it" when he called TO in that last regular game of the season. 333 days to go.
GO BRUINS.
UPDATE (N): Per Patroclus Denver-Kansas City was not only example from yesterday's NFL action:
Although I did catch part of that Denver/KC game, the ending of the 49ers/Rams game earlier in the day seemed to be a closer analogue. 49ers had a 21-6 lead late in the game and gained possession inside Rams territory, and called a series of running plays, each of which would have led to the 2-minute warning if not for Rams timeouts (and a personal foul) stopping the clock after each play.
Mike Singletary (a gutless wimp, I imagine Petey would say) responded to the timeouts by continuing to call basic run plays. The 49ers did score a TD on the 4th play of that series; not due to any tricks, or a desire to get the Rams, but b/c the Rams
defensesuck and could not contain on D.
As Westwood Wiizard pointed out in the thread below, wonder Splashme will call out McDaniel (and now Singletary) as brats? GO BRUINS.

What's your deal?
Going for 2 after a TD is not allowed. Calling timeouts is not allowed.
It’s Cheatie’s world and we all just live in it.
As a Chiefs fan...
…it was nice to see us do the classy thing (not to mention crush the Bronco’s playoff hopes).
Funny thing about the Cheatie PAB…no one would have made a big deal about the timeouts if they had just run the ball or kneeled on it even after CRN called them. Whatever.
Not the only example from yesterday's action

It's the classy thing to do
to run out the clock, shows good sportsmanship and respect. Calling time-outs shows your team you still care about competing till the final whisle. In the OJans case, you can’t expect they will do anything with class at this point. So I wasn’t too upset with the bomb, because it was just part of who they are.

I seriously thought about this exact topic
as I disgustedly sat by myself in the South Stands with the other few tens of remaining Bronco fans who stuck around until the final gun. After the first timeout, I bitterly wondered aloud whether the Chefs would dial up a deep route. But in a league where players on both sides are paid, there is enough mutual respect and professionalism to do the classy thing. Sadly, enver (no D) did very little “competing” prior to the timeouts.
I was also thinking of a few other things about Hoodie, Jr, too, most of which are not printable here.

Satire, I love it.
Great Post Nestor. But probably to obtuse for your average Trojan to understand. Any way we can dumb it down for the South Central lurkers?

Those NFL guys just don't know how to compete
Pete Carroll is about competition, guys! If you really understand and believe in competing, then you’ll know why throwing a long bomb when your opponent has the audacity to call a timeout at the end of a game is just competing! It should be clear to us now that NFL players and coaches just aren’t competitive at all.
Cheatie knows the NFL better than most
He is widely hated in several NFL cities, especially in New England. Ask any Patsies fan.
Lots of coaches call futile timeouts at the end of games
But few coaches pull the classless stunt that Cheatie Petey did. I’ve been paying more attention to this issue since the last $C* game, and I have seen quite a few games where coaches called time out at the end when it was pretty much hopeless. The opponent simply ran out the clock – I did not see anyone do anything remotely like Cheatie’s stunt. What Petey did was beyond the pale, and to defend it is equally bad. Hopefully “what goes around, comes around!”
