Darren Sharper Confirms What We Already Knew

It’s a legitimate game plan to injure people. Just doing so makes you honourless and cowardly because you don’t want to fight fair. That and universally despised.

blather on about this. Let’s move on.

I can’t think of a single reason why he shouldn’t get fined for that comment.

Seriously, Goodell has been working so hard to squash the thugish/brutish image of NFL players off the field. These kind of comments, even in jest, should not be allowed.

This comment only serves to put more Saints players at risk of retaliation, and make the referees job that much harder when the game turns dirty.

He says it and they only had that game plan cause that’s the only way they could try to stop favre they were scared and that’s what chicken shits do won’t b the same this time around REVENGE is comming they better get out there vodo dolls cause there going to need them +4=REVENGE. SKOL VIKES!!!!!!!!!

The only thing missing in his statement is " I love me some me!".

And he used to be my favorite…

The Vikes let him go because he was ineffective in the cover 2 scheme. He had only 1INT in his last season with the Vikes and missed tackles all over the field. The cover 2 did not suit him at the latter stages of his career so he wasent resigned.

He should be thankful the Vikes didn’t resign him. He went to a defensive system where he is free to roam, had one of the best statistical seasons of his career and won a Super Bowl.

Sept 9th!

Sharper’s head better be on a swivel!

HEAD = X SPOT

This has gone too far. It’s blatantly obvious that the Saints are/were head hunting, and the Commissioner needs to step in and do something about it.

What Sharper doesn’t realize, is that if Favre, or any other QB gets hurt while playing the Saints, people are going to suspect dirty play. (Including Goodell).
Making public comments like this will only hurt the Saints image, and it might even bring a few cheap shots their way as well. Trying to end another athlete’s season, or career isn’t taken lightly with everybody….I hope this comes back to bite Sharper and Saints organization in the butt.
Skol Favre!

just saying

The more they talk the more closely Goodell will watch.

Proud of playing dirty, and amusing themselves by using the word Viqueens. Oh, and pretending that Sharper didn’t really mean what he said. That’s some serious denial.

Brett and Sharp good friends since back in their GB days? IIRC, Sharper was one of the guys who helped talk Brett back. I highly doubt Sharper really wants to injure his friend… Correct me if I’m wrong on either of those points.

That being said, as a Saints fan, I doubt Sharper will be on the field opening day. The coaching staff will be giving a lot of reps at FS to last years 1st round pick Malcolm Jenkins. That compounded by the fact that Sharper is coming off knee surgery and will certainly miss some of TC himself, I suspect Sharper to riding the bench week one.

Was unbelievably close. We gave them a run for their money. Let’s just see if we can do even more in September! SKOL!!!!

P.S…..I was laughing at Sharper that entire game….he did nothing but fall on his face in front of Adrian Peterson.

… or Sharper really likes attention and said something deliberately inflammatory to get it. That’s the Sharper I remember.

“Football is a physical game, or at least it used to be”. I’m sorry if you can’t take it that your OLine can’t pass block, and that despite all evidence to the contrary QB are Football players too, they can be hit at any time. I fyou want to complain about dirty hits what about all of Brett’s “blocks” in which he goes for defensive players knees when they aren’t looking, I don’t hear you all complaining about those

The only conclusion that one can draw. . .other than that those “English as a Second Language” courses don’t appear to be paying off for Darren quite yet

That line had me laughing for a while don’t know why it was so funny to me but it was.

On a serious note the quote itself is an issue. As much I don’t like that Brett is now a Viking I in NO WAY want to see him get hurt by some SOB taking a cheap shot at him. There is no room for that BS in the NFL!!

What type of jerk would get their rocks off by trying to hurt someones Grandfather on purpose?? Lets keep Brett up right I would like to see Brett finish his career on his terms, with pride, and on a good year!!

at some time durin the sept 9th game in new orleans … sharp is gonna end up one on one with #28 now we all know that #28 could juke sharp out of his jock and leave him holdin air … my money says #28 steps on sharp’s chest as he runs over his lame excuse for a tacklin safety … and … on the very next play will be #32 the rookies turn to drop a shoulder on sharper and remind him it is “Toby-Time” … if and that looks to be a rather large if sharper even plays in this game he is gonna be a doormat for a couple of runnin backs that will teach a vet he oughta know when to keep his mouth shut and let his playin do his talkin

If it’s any consolation, I have asked the Saints to not be so physical. That way maybe you can win and you guys won’t be crying for months. But, you had better find Jared Allen, he missed the SB. And if your team wins, you can stop being called the “Whinekings”.

And I hope we pay the aints back in spades!

lower themselves? lets ask matt shaub about that. karma much?

Are making DUI jokes about Jared Allen, too.

Yeah. . .because that’s the sort of crack you want to make when it’s recently come out that your great, awesome, wunderkind head coach may or may not be a Vicodin junkie. Make fun of the guy that’s admitted his past failings and been clean and sober for three years.

Seriously, I’m beginning to question why I ever even thought of supporting that team, or why I actively supported their city for so long. Tell you what. . .I’ll never make that mistake again on either of those fronts.

I used to find the arrogance of Saints fans amusing, like a kitty playing with toy.

But now it’s unsightly and needs to be thrown out, like a bag of mashed assholes.

that most likely after that Mr. Allen will probably have an X on each and one of you guys, and don’t worry he can actually tackle, and much more.

I can’t believe Saints fans have the nerve to talk trash about other cities when there home was garbage even before the hurricane hit. I lived in southern La. for over three years and the main thing told to me about that place was if I went down to Bourbon Street, it wasn’t the criminals you had to worry about, it was the cops. That department was (and maybe still is) the most corrupt in the country. When “60 Minutes” does an episode on how bad crime is among the police (every attempt was made by the city and the state to prevent it’s showing-thankfully unsuccessfully) then you’ve hit the big time. One of the stories was how a whole family in a business was murdered during a robbery but one of the potential victims hit in a meat locker. When the cops arrived, the employee of the business easily identified one of the killers as a policewoman investigating the crime. Another cop was a drug dealer and a pimp who ordered a hit on one of his prostututes who was going to turn him in. He was tipped off by another cop. There’s a lot more but you get the drift.

So don’t go talking about other cities you probably haven’t been to before you clean up your own back yard.

We’re not on your site harrasaing people Leave Now or be thrown back to the days of you wearing paper bags.. Starting Sept..

Deek said it first but I not as nice all u saint fans r just scared our Vikings can beat u with out favre look at 2008 no prob but now ur shiting ur pants on the ground quote the greatest Q B of all time Brett favre cause u know now he’s back and we will get REVENGE on ur ASS so quit shit talking we know ur scared that’s why ur here and we don’t need to talk shit on ur site cause we will do it on the field sept 9 th so prepare for an Ass kicking like none other u dumb Jackasses so untill fk off stay off r site

I’ve always liked Sharper, but this is kind of classless.

It’s also stupid because he’ll plant a big bullseye on Drew Brees as well. After that NFC championship game, I’m guessing there already is. The Vikes D-line should paint a Drew Brees anatomy chart on all of their tackling dummies to get ready.

I congratulated the Saints after their win, both against us and the Colts, and was happy to see a NFC team take one home. But through time people wonder, and sometimes go back just to refresh their memory of how they lost. Well, besides the fumbles, Favre was hit, late, on time, uncalled-for hits, the whole game. Watch it your self Saints fans if you don’t believe us, but being a Vikings fan its too painful to rewind this footage in our heads, and Darren Sharper just opened his made and pressed rewind, of what happened, and fast forward of what’s to come.

are starting to remind me more and more of cowboys fans. They are like leeches.

This article thread is longer than some game open threads I’ve seen! LOL.

Isn’t it the job of the defense to hit the QB?
The same people who whine when their QB gets hit are the same people who say the league does too much to protect the QBs.

It’s football; there is going to be contact. Defenses are supposed to try and hit the opposing team.

What’s the problem?

This will be fuel for Farve and the Vikings AND it should fire up a offensive line that was weak at times last year, they will play for respect, this could really help gel the line. Also I think Farve will approach this game like he was playing the Packers with payback on his mind…not good for the supposed super bowl winners. This first game will be so motivational for our team that it will carry us to our early bye-week undefeated.

I think the person that will ultimately pay for the Saints cheap shots is the guy that didn’t have anything to do with them: Drew Brees. That poor bastard is going to get hammered on September 9th. I expect a fight or two to break out in this one.

right on shiancoe just fired back on the viking age page he said hes got bretts back he said X marks the spot on sharpers knee SKOL!!!!
