"I was ready to go back in the game," Jamaal said after the game. "If we would have broke one, Knile [Davis] was going to knee at the 1-yard line and they were going to let me go in."

"It didn't happen though," Jamaal continued. "Everything happens for a reason."

Do you really believe in karma?

Heh.

That's pretty cool.

Cool? Are you ****ing serious? It's not cool at all.

Bullshit like that makes records meaningless. If Charles stays in the game and scores another touchdown, that's awesome. If he's out of the game but comes in to score a short yardage touchdown because he's the best they've got at the goal line and they need a touchdown, that's awesome too.

But for another player to lay down so that Charles or anyone else can get an easy shot at a record is a travesty. It's bullshit. If it were up to me I'd throw a penalty flag for unsportsmanlike conduct when the touchdown was scored, and I'd eject Charles and Davis from the game.

It's like when Bret Favre laid down so that Michael Strahan could get an easy sack to break the sack record. That was bogus, it was bullshit, and it made me a Bret Favre hater before it was fashionable to hate him.

This might explain it a little better

Per Jamaal Charles

"After I tore my ACL, I just came up with a thing, every time I touch the ball, I'm going to wipe the haters off me. People said I would never come back from his ACL, he won't be the same. I make sure I wipe it off for those who doubted me, and I try to wipe down my ACL to let them know you got the haters out there. That's a thing I came up with but I hope I can keep wiping it down."

I wouldn't. I'd always protect my players. Especially a runningback that is a key piece of my team late in the season.

Man, that's awesome.

Well, maybe that's not the best word. I believe people in this league have long memories though.

Jamaal Charles disagrees. He wants his escalades.

Would you have brought Jamaal back in for a short TD?
 

.

They must not have decided that until late in the game, because Davis did break one and didn't kneel down. They also scored an earlier TD while I think Charles was still in the game. They passed on first and goal and McGrath caught it at the two. He didn't kneel either.

Jamaal Charles prefix nomination: JFC!

If I had a good run blocking OL -- I mean one that would all but guarantee Jamaal walks in behind a guard untouched and with little effort, then I would do it.

I'm glad they put up 56. to me, that's most important.

I bet Reid is looking at Jamaal in a different light now. Jamaal has just about the most explosive cuts I have ever seen from a football player. when he caught the wheel route pass during the first TD and made the cut inside to the field, it was over for the DB's nearby.
