Shutdown Corner - NFL

Maybe it makes me a pacifist, but I never saw "I'm wearing a jersey representing my favorite team, and you're wearing the jersey of their rival team" as a good reason to fight.

Exchange a little trash talk, sure. But it's not like it's worth 7 extra points for the Chargers if I win a fight against a Broncos fan. If that's how it worked, I'd beat my brother, a Steelers fan, into a coma before kickoff on Sunday.

That didn't stop these people, though. The guy wearing the Elway jersey ... his face had a pretty rough afternoon. I like the Chargers fan who appear concerned about the guy better than the ones who attacked him.

Gracias, Busted Coverage.

    No one laid a finger on the guy rocking the Plummer jersey...people were probably too busy snickering at it.

    I've gotta agree, trade some barbs and heckle, but it's not a reason to act like a punk. That was funny about your brother though!

    Damn, dude. You've only got one typo this time (last sentence). Did you take some writing classes or something?

    Well since there's a video, hopefully the guy in the chargers jersey who took the cheap shot on the guy will face criminal charges.

    Being a Charger fan, I just can't agree with that. I guess we have a few dumb wannabe Raider fan here. That was just totally wrong.
    That being said, Jay Cutler still a sore loser.

    You call that a fight? In Cleveland, chicks fight harder than that. Just ask Steelers fans who come to the stadium.

    Grammar takes a beating as mj-dummie demonstrates journalistic incompetence.

    x-factor...Jay Cutler a sore loser? Rather be a sore loser than classless like Rivers. These fans are acting as classless as their QB Rivers. Who ever heard of a QB coming out on the field to talk crap to another QB. That's unheard of.
    SD fans = Raider Fans in powder blue.

    Kenny A,
    You're a [profane] retard. It has nothing to do with Charger fan you [profane] retard. When was it typical? Where else did you see this? Did it happen every game? You are a dumb [profane]. You can talk about the two guys that did it but they are not the entire Charger fans you [profane] hole.

    I'll be happy when the Chargers move to L.A.
    Their fans won't have as far to drive to make asses out of themselves.

    smaku,
    Maybe fans like you shouldn't talk trash with players on the field. You as a fan that trash talk with River is also classless. In fact you are more classless then River sine you instigate the trash talk. Don't tell me someone else is classless when you start the trash talk and they responded.

    You idiots "especially the the irrisposible person who wrote this story" even knows what happened right before this video, that led up to the fight. The Broncos fan could have been talking smack to the chargers fan who then snapped. Point is we don't know! I go through those tunnels all the time, and opposing fans are always yelling profaqnities and challenging the Charger fans. The worst have always been the raiders followed by Bronco fans who have a massive sense of entitelment. Bronco fans (many, not all) have always been thugs at SD stadium. So the person who wrote this TMZ like article should give back his journalism degree, but somehow I feel it's more likely a twelve year old with too much time.
    I was at that game and after the first Bronco touchdown, an idiot "DRUNK" Bronco fan put his team hat right in my face actually touching my face and telling me to F-Off Chargers fan. I hadn't said a thing accept I was wearing my jersey. I was with my 11 year old nephew, but that didn't stop this beligerant fan from cussing the entire first quarter until security warned him he would be thrown out! His hat was hurled by me, about twelve rows down after putting it in my nephews face and yelling "This is a real team" Broncos fans have zero reasons to spout off about any other fans!

    Smaku,
    You are stupid to classify someone classless just because you started your trash talk and they responded. When fans like you make an A-of yourself, you think you are just having fun. When atheletes responded to your stupid trash talk, they are classless? I don't understand how that work? Just because they make millions and you make pennies doesn't mean they don't have any right to respond to your stupid comments or defend themself.

    x-factor, are you slow or something? I didn't smack talk Rivers...I stated a fact. What he did was a classless act. I'm allowed to have an opinion about that without it being trash talk. I instigated trash talk?? You're the one who called Cutler a sore loser before I even posted anything and I'm the instigator? Spend less time on message boards and more time in school, then come back before you make a fool of yourself again.
