Try to maintain a little dignity at Cards games

[bigredjane]

Jay, you are right on!

Typical ignorant Bickley article. Writes the whole thing trashing the Cardinals' fans while ignoring the entire reason the fans were mad in the first place. Not condoning this type of behavior, but the fans had a right to be upset.

Here's how it went down. After several calls against the Cards, Marcel Shipp runs up the middle. After the whistle blows, a Rams defensive player smashes into him. An O-line player (#71, 70 ??) comes to his defense and throws the Ram player to the ground. He is promptly whistled for a 15-yard penalty. The Rams player received nothing for his blatent late hit.

The fans were fed up with this. The controversial calls have generally gone against the Cards for years. This second half of this game had that feeling written all over it. So when we thought we would get an additional 15-yard penalty and are instead issued one of our own and their penalty is disregarded, the fans were enraged.

For Bickley to not write about this is not just ignorance, but his version of sensational journalism. Hey it sells to call the Cards fans trashy, but it doesn't to say a blown call provoked all of the trash.

He loves to create anger, if you see his smug face on the Sunday sports news " The Pit" he looks like a thin bull dog, if anything his negative reporting on the Cardinals has added more fire to the flame. He has been bagging on us forever. And he has the nerve to tell us to use some dignity, PLEASE!!

**** Bickley and anyone that agrees with him.

I sent Bickley this email:


Hey Bickley. You Suck!

Come and sit in the North end Zone sometime. I dare you. Or just stand in front of it. You ****ing loser.

Nobody was throwing trash on the field because of the team's play. It was targeted at the pisspoor calls that were made during that drive.

While I don't approve of it, I totally understand it.

Just speaks to the mentality of many football fans. They treat the place like a huge bar and it's all about getting drunk, being vulgar, and checking out women. Others of us are there to see the game. Go figure.

Also - I don't throw anything on to any field/court. That's just idiotic. Use your voice.

Yeah - nonstop pottymouth is lame - no creativity.
Questioning the refs eyesight and/or ethics in strong, creative terms = fair.
Drunkenness - the better the Cards are doing on gameday, the less drunk I am...
Checking out women - can't... stop....self....
Throwing stuff - could injure someone - bad...

Arizona State would've upgraded its stadium years ago, except they're waiting until the Cardinals are gone for good.

What does this mean exactly? Is Bickley for real?

:assclown:

 

[abomb]

By the way Bickley, there are 32 stadiums.

31 right? Giants and Jets share. Maybe you are counting the Cardinals new stadium.

A-Bomb

Bickley is a moron, the field trashing was great and really relieved alot of tension, even for me on the other side of the field watching. the refs were bs, the line wasnt doing anything and ish isnt going right. i bety you the new stadium doesnt have that happen

 

[kerouac9]

By the way Bickley, there are 32 stadiums.

There are 31, because both the Giants and the Jets play at the Meadowlands. If you're counting both the Alamodome and the field at LSU, then there are 33 this season, but I don't think you are...

Yes, they are going to have fewer fans come to the remaining games.

This is way funny, BTW.

 

[Brian in Mesa]

No there aren't, idiot.

Was that really necessary?

 

[kerouac9]

Was that really necessary?

It was a little excessive, but when you're going to call someone out for being stupid, and you totally screw up on the correction, then it should come back on you.

Even still, though: ME:

Go root for the Eagles then.....

wow youve become mantra like with your responses.

No one day when we start winning and a new generation comes along we wont have a fan base that risnt ashamed to show their displeasure.

If you like to cheer on less than good play. Good for you. I dont. I curse and yell at the screen. And if I was at the game Id show my displeasure this year.

kerouac9,

I have removed your comment from your post. Please refrain from calling your fellow Cards fans names.

 

[Yuma]

By the way Bickley, there are 32 stadiums.

I know one of them was done in by Katrina!

I'm sorry, but how is this even supposed to be funny?

Dignity is easier to maintain when you win.

If I live in AZ and had season tickets Id wear a brown bag on my head next home game and throw stuff on the field whenever I had trash in my hands.

Some people in AZ trash the eagles fane (CardTrader and others) but the fact is they do it right. When the coach puts trash on the field why cant you?

If he coaches them up or does the right thing and they dont play like trash then fans shouldnt throw trash either.

Why do I believe everything SWD said in this post....

 

[WisconsinCard]

There is no excuse to throw stuff on the field. It was a stupid thing to do.

I have to agree. I understand the frustration I can even live with the BS chant. But you just cant throw stuff on the field.
