    This.

    This right here?

    Fuck the 49ers. Go Seahawks.

    Like, I don't mind players mocking other players with their celebrations. I've seen Cam get sacked plenty of times only to have the defender mock one of his celebrations. That's fine, that's earned. You drank his milkshake, enjoy that shit.

    Kaepernick can eat a bag of dicks. I wish the Chiefs were still in it so they could trounce the 9ers and Alex Smith could Kaepernick every time they scored a TD.

    And yeah I sort of sequestered myself away from the football thread after the loss. It was a shitty loss.

    I don't blame the refs, although the argument could be made that all the shit calls took the Panthers out of it mentally. Ever then, they're professionals, they need to learn to rise above that.

    But even with all of that, they had it inside the 1 yard line on seven plays and got a total of 3 points out of it. So they didn't really earn a win, in my mind.

    Hopefully they'll address the receiver and secondary issues in the off season and come back stronger next year. God I hope we can trade Stewart to somebody. Or maybe Williams, since I guess now it'll be his turn to sit out for a season.

    Although on that play, that defender from Carolina just ran past Kaepernick and completely whiffed on any chance to stop him from walking in for the TD. What the fuck was that guy watching?

    If you're ok with it other times, why is this time especially bad? I'm not seeing a huge difference between what you're talking about.

    Look Tox, there were plenty of shit calls that went both ways. Don't go a Patriots fan path of loss acceptance. It helps no one at all.

    Because he's upset that his team lost the biggest game they've played in a decade. Which is totally ok, I'd be pissed too.

    Hell, Kaepernick is my QB and I don't really like the guy.

    That I understand, it's just wierd to have such an exaggerated response, as if the reverse superman crosses some sort of line, to a fairly subdued diss.

    That said, I completely understand being pissed after a loss.

    Kissing your bicep is the worst celebration.

  • HunterHunter Chemist with a heart of Au Registered User regular
    Kaepernick is still young. It's understandable, but I can see why it's aggravating to fans of other teams. He's kind of a douche, but as a 49rs fan I like it when he scores TD's so I ignore his asshat tendencies.

    The best celebration is Jerrell Powe's landshark

    Mocking the superman/bicep kiss is baby stuff for babies.

    God knows how many hours Terrell Owens spent learning and practicing the Ray Lewis dance so he could do it when he scored against the Ravens.

    His best mocking was placing the football on the Dallas Cowboy star at midfield while in Dallas. That was A-1 prime asshat material. It was also funny as hell, because fuck the Cowboys.

    He burned both Keuchly and Florence. Florence was the guy that whiffed, and has been in the league for 11 years. We cut him back in August, then re-signed him a month later (I'm guessing due to injuries). He's the #2 LCB, and I'm guessing also the nickel.

    And, he needs to go away.

    They should both be pretty great. I have to go out of town for work all next week so I should be able to catch the later game in a sports bar and have a legitimate reason to put the meal on my expense report.

    I don't know which I enjoyed more: that, or him doing the celebration on the Cowboys star twice in one game, getting tackled by one of the Dallas defenders, getting up and doing it again just because.

    the best TD celebration is still giving the ball to the fat guy so he can do the wind-up spike

    even better if it's a d-lineman runback

    I would have to vote for standing on the star, that was a whole other level of assholery.

    I am anonymousburn in the NFL playoff league, I'm only a Peen for you guys. Third at this round is by far the best I've ever done and almost all of my guys carry over to next week, I just had to pick up one WR.

    I'm pretty excited that no matter what happens next weekend, we'll get a pretty decent Superbowl.

    I'm pretty bummed that the Red Hot Chili Peppers being added to the Halftime show is only a cause for more derisive asshattery and not joy, I love those guys.

    There was also a whole lot of Carolina in his face on something as simple as an incomplete pass....so yeah he was a little fired up. I am not always a fan of twisting the dagger, but I think in this game the Panthers warranted it.

    He isnt kissing his bicept he is kissing his tattoos...it is also a direct response to media calling him a thug because of them when most of them are religeous in nature.

    Also re: the whole reverse superman thing, what really bugs me is Cam had nothing to do with that play, so it was just Kaep being douchy.

    Like, he burned Keuchly on that play. Keuchly's a big defensive name now. If Keuchly had some special sack/INT/whatever celebration that he does, and Kaep had mocked that, it would have made sense. You burned him, you get to mock him a little bit.

    Mocking Cam was just egging on the chippiness of it all.

    Yep. Go to the ground for a celebration? Flag. Hand it to another player to spike? Flag. Coordinated dance number to Shipoopi? Flag.

    Yeah, maybe if the Panthers defense had a sack move or taunt they were famous for, he would have done that. The Superman thing is pretty much what is always shown when networks talk about the Panthers. Like, say he beats the Vikings and does Jaren Allen's cow-roping sack move.

    As has already been mentioned (and ignored) repeatedly, the only reason Kaepernick did the Superman thing was because the Panthers mocked his celebration in their previous game.

    Cry more please.

    If you're going to hate Kaep for mocking Cam, then you should at least be consistent and hate half the Panthers D as well.

    Also, Cam Newton's celebration is literally an expression of how douchey he is. He's pretending to be Superman...when he's still a young QB looking to prove himself in what is probably the finest era for quarterbacks in the history of the NFL. Hilariously, the only reason he does it is because he was trying to figure out how Clark Kent takes off a suit with just one hand.

    And for those who think Kaepernick's TD celebration is stupid to begin with, hedidn't even have one until last year (unlike Cam, who has apparently been doing his since JuCo), when a moron wrote a coded, racist rant about how Kaepernick's tattoos were classless and embodied a thug lifestyle. Kaepernick is a mixed-race child and has adoptive parents (both of whom are white). He was a 4.0 student in high school, has never been arrested, and is actually very religious. All of the tattoos on his body are religious in nature - Bible verses and the like. It was only after that story came out that he started kissing the tattoos on his bicep in response. He's basically celebrating his heritage, his family, and his religion whenever he does it. It's not all that different from guys who point to the sky or do a sign of the cross.

    I'm from the school that thinks that guys should be allowed to celebrate however the hell they want as long as they aren't bringing props on the field and the like. If Cam wants to pretend to be Superman, more power to him. If Kaep wants to kiss his bicep, enjoy. If they want to have a mock-off, more fun for the fans. But at least get the story straight on who started it and why.

  • ButtersButters A glass of some milks Registered User regular
    Kissing your own bicep after scoring has fuck all to do with heritage. Didn't Kap even looked into trade marking his celebration last year?
