That is what I thought of too! you think Sharper even knows who Toby Keith is?

+100000000000000

He has threated physical harm to someone else regardless of a penalty or fine and he brought the game into disrepute by trying to bet on player preformance within the game.

It is a picture which doesn’t look anything like Sharper and the only resemblence is it has his number and name.

I completely agree that he probably shouldnt have posted it to add fuel to the feud but realistically if there was someone’s name on it from the Vikings and he had shot at it would we be taking it as a joke? A joke between teammates?

It isn’t as if we are followers of OBL and so I cannot understand how it has crossed any lines. If his picture is shown in the news relating to a story it isn’t offensive and crossing lines but people are basically saying a line has been crossed because someone wrote on the picture.

I hate OBL and tam not offended in the slightest that they use him for target practice. I also could careless that someone wrote his number and name on him. If my name was put on it I wouldn’t be whining like a baby, I may be upset but I would understand that somone 1 upped me especially after I started the entire thing.

that Twitter is a public forum that people use like private texts/e-mails and people often can’t differentiate between stupid private jokes and offensive/threatening comments. The players are dumb for not realizing that their “harmless” trash-talk can be misconstrued into intent to injure, gambling on the outcome of their sport, and trivializing terrorism.

People who get worked up about this stuff should realize that these tweets are anything but meaningful. Sharper and Shiancoe’s back and forth should be treated like the trash talk between a couple of 12 year-olds playing Madden.(ignorant and irrelevant)

You miss the part this was brought on by a classless coaching staff. My guess is this is going around the NFL. The saints will have an X mark on their chest. I play sport competitively. As a weekend athlete people do not take kindly to people playing dirty. We don’t go out to intentionally hurt someone. I am a 5.0 tennis player. I hit the ball straight at the net man. He block it with his racket. As good sportsmanship. I apologize. Their is a fine line between competitive and dirty. The saints coaching staff does not know that. Don’t think the player around the league dose not notice this either

It may not have been tasteful but I fail to see how it could be offensive to a) anyone but Sharper and b) why he is this up in arms over something that Shiancoe didn’t even make but was given by someone in the Minnesota National Guard who was on the gunrange with him.

Its WORSE than what Sharper has done in my book. It insanely offensive to Sharper…crossed many more lines than saying out loud what every NFL player is thinking (going after a weak spot).

i speculate that before the month of june is over, that chilly will show up in hattiesburg, miss. in a brand spankin’ new john deere hybrid (part stretch limo / part riding lawn mower). he’ll call brett and leave a message saying:

“i just happened to be in the neighborhood, looking for some weeds to pull. and it dawned on me that you live near by! doesn’t that sound like fun? can you help me out? cuz i’m not sure where the best weed pulling is around these here parts.”

after pulling all the weeds on brett’s 400 acres (with brett riding in the back getting a pedicure), he then took brett out to waffle house, and even picked up the tab.

then he’ll get a blurb about it in sid hartman’s column and insist that it didn’t even cross his mind to talk about football or training camp.

It would’ve been far funnier to have a picture of Sharper imo but i still think that the picture is funny in anycase.

They aren’t comparing him to a terrorist. Imagine if the soldier had the exchange with Shiancoe that he had to concentrate firing at targets far away and he had brought in this custom target to help him focus at that distance.

Point is this is taken out of context and in no way do I feel it is comparing him to OBL. People write and say stuff that is far more offensive than someone writing a number and name.

1. 1 target.???? And Shank did come out and said he meant no offense to anyone. Sharps just keeps running his mouth like a…yes, "growling chihuahua.

Oh and Shank can spell too!

“We have always been at war with Eastasia”

What’s the league name and setup info?

I think they are all idiots. I hope they all get suspended or fined and the NFL finds a way to control them a little better. This is getting stupid.
