Jared Allen: "I hope the Packers win it all"

Never had anything against him on the field, he's always been a fantastic player, mad respect for him, but have never liked playing against him.

Just men killing animals to me but to each their own.

It reminded me of the exchanges between Brett and Warren Sapp. FUN football!

damit.....now I'm starting to like the beast

I have no problem with Jared Allen. Him and Rodgers seem very friendly towards each other, he just plays hard.

Favorite player to hate.

Thank god he isn't on the bears though.

I used to love how Favre would jump up and get in the face of the guy who just planted him and start jawing. ARoge is a little more subtle. I love how he always has a smile, no matter what the situation is. Always has it under control.

Is it really any different than Rodgers doing his championship belt move? A lot of people hate that, too.

yes it is different...rodgers isnt making the motion like he just hogtied someone who he just laid out.

Never seen Rodgers celebrate quite to that extent down 14 + points

The reason why I hate, with a passion, what Jared does is because it depicts cruelty to animals.

Yeah, when a player celebrates when the team is behind, then he is just making himself look like a tool.
Yeah, I know it's probably done more so out of a feeling of personal accomplishment, but still, it just looks dumb to be getting all excited while your way behind.

So you're offended by it because you think the move is too violent? If he came up with something less "violent" would you be okay with it? I'm not some huge Allen supporter, but just admit it, you only hate it because he's a Viking. If that was Matthews' celebration, you'd love it. Or vice versa, if Allen's move was the Predator, you'd hate him for that.

I do agree with Mr. StyleZ that Allen needs to be cognizant of the score when doing it (though there's several players in the NFL that have that same problem).

It's not a mock hogtie. It's a mock calf-roping. Allen's a rodeo redneck. lol

no, im offended because it is a stupid move!

I hope the Vikes can hang onto him and Peterson long enough for Ponder to really develop. We are going to finish low enough for us to draft a really good left tackle and shutdown corner like we desperately need. Maybe someone like Cliff Harris from Oregon for corner if he is there. If not LT or corner, Ponder is going to need another WR to throw to. So many needs. As for Allen, he might get along with Rodgers, but I never mind seeing him smash him into the turf.

You're right. Unfortunately, a lot of people do what I call "fishing for deer" by putting out bait piles. Baiting should be illegal in WI like it is in a lot of other places. IMO, if you can't hunt without baiting, then you're not a hunter.

Or maybe you do it to try and give your team a bit of a charge.

I remember a conversation with an animal lover who was ranting at me for killing defenseless animals. I told him that if a deer wanders into my tavern while I'm having a beer he deserves to be killed.
I know what you mean about true hunting, it's all about the bow GreenBlood. You gotta get them close the natural way not just sending a dozen shells down range and baiting is just slaughter.
I guess if you need the meat bad enough ya know?

Unless it's for self defense or unintentional, it's just wrong to kill anyone or anything no matter how it's done.
There isn't any reason to purposefully kill a sentient being who wants to do what you want to do.
And that is just to live.

What if it's mice? A few years ago a clan moved in my house during a snow storm. I killed those little crap heads one by one. Then I plugged up the holes for good.

This thread is weird. From Jared Allen to this?
BTW my cat does not kill mice. She is an old persian. She was born a diva and will stay this way.

I didn't mind him wanting to feel good about his sacks even though they were falling behind,you have to keep up moral to bad o-line couldn't get it going Harven two costly penalties didn't help,I don't like the cowpoke move either,but I guess if your a rodeo fan you might.

I am a meatatarian and that requires killing things. Sorry, that's just the natural order.
