If you're looking for "classy," you're in the wrong market. Your expectations are a bit out of touch. 2) Nobody that's ever played football is surprised or bothered by trash talk on the field or in the locker room. That talk can range from good-natured ribbing to genuine, heartfelt animosity. I found that there was more in how something was said than what was said in deciding whether the someone is really being an *******. Whatever the case, I wouldn't evaluate a guy's character based solely on his printed statements. I thought the comments about Rice were funny and I question whether Rice perceived any real animosity behind them. *Edit: The links above confirm my argument: little of this sort of trash talk is said with genuine bad intent and most of it rolls off guys like water... Whatever. I'm probably not going to change your opinion of Watt. Just seems like you're clinging very tightly to the "trash talk" angle in order to justify your emotional reaction to a guy in a sport where most of the players are talking smack at least some of the time.</blockquote>
