When will the league take exception to Flozell Adams' BS?

Wellington : 9/29/2009 12:56 pm
From last night:



Should be suspended.

he should be suspended now

What if you had a time machine and you could go back  
jarrodbunch : 9/29/2009 1:31 pm : link
and kill Hitler, but Doc was like, "Roads? Roads?"
Nimrod - is that the only way of dealing with it?  
CL : 9/29/2009 1:31 pm : link
Or is it just an emotional, bloodthirsty response and craving for revenge?
OR, get him off the field (put him in prison)  
Nimrod : 9/29/2009 1:31 pm : link
so he doesn't do it again.
CL is making sense  
I Love Clams Casino : 9/29/2009 1:31 pm : link
these are emotional responses

Dave in Hoboken : 9/29/2009 1:32 pm : link
it comes to the point where would you rather have one guy out there repeatedly trying to seriously injure guys, or would you rather just have the one guy injured, so multiple other guys won't be seriously injured.

If the guy in question didn't have along history of this, then it wouldn't be fair. But the fact is he has a long history of doing this, and even after being fined last week, still tries the same shit the very next game.

So yes, I'd much rather the one guy injured than a bunch of other (innocent) guys getting taken out.

You have to shoot yourself for that to happen, or start a dog fighting ring in your back yard.
See my post just above.  
Nimrod : 9/29/2009 1:32 pm : link
I don't care how he's dealt with.

He's a repeat offender.

Adios Flozell, one way or the other.
You can't dehumanize someone for their actions.  
CL : 9/29/2009 1:35 pm : link
Ethics is all about holding steady despite the circumstances. Either it is ok to cause injury or wish injury upon someone or it is not. Regardless of the situation.
My position is the correct one.  
Exit 172 : 9/29/2009 1:36 pm : link
The league should get Adams off the field with a suspension. If they don't, an injury that would get Adams off the field is the next best thing. Doesn't mean I'm rooting for someone to intentionally injure Adams. Since we know he is trying to injure people, it would be better if he were injured first, to remove the threat to other players.

Enough with the self-righteous bullshit.
I think people are being ethical enough  
Dave in Hoboken : 9/29/2009 1:36 pm : link
to overlook that in this special circumstance.
Firstly, I don't think he's TRYING to injure anyone.  
CL : 9/29/2009 1:38 pm : link
Is he playing in a dangerous way, outside of the rules of the game, in a way that is likely to (and already has) caused injury? Absolutely.

Does it make me self-righteous to never, ever view an injured NFL player as a good thing? I don't think so.
Well no one can say whether or not he is trying  
Dave in Hoboken : 9/29/2009 1:40 pm : link
to injure someone. But the fact he is just injured someone last week, got fined for it, and still tried the same exact thing the next game. So injuring someone doesn't seem to bother him.

And no one is saying it's agood thing for him to be injured. But if faced with the choice of having numerous guys get injured week in and week out, or just him, the choice is too easy.
And his comments after injuring Tuck  
Dave in Hoboken : 9/29/2009 1:41 pm : link
don't seem to indicate he cares that he is injuring someone. Fuck him.

giantboy : 9/29/2009 1:43 pm : link
what's the difference between a murderer getting put on death row then? Same thing isn't it, ending someone's life before it's pre-allotted time so that he doesn't inflict more harm on society at large? Isn't that akin to murder of a murderer?

Granted, murder and leg whips are different things altogether, but I'm not surprised to see such feelings being aired in response to Adams continued brazen violations.
Okay, so a guy like say, Eli, who plays by the rules:  
Nimrod : 9/29/2009 1:44 pm : link
we don't wish injury on him. I'll buy that.

But a guy like Adams, who blatantly disregards the rules and is allowed to keep playing because the system in place merely penalizes through fines and/or possible suspension should be free from my wish that he suffer a season/career ending injury?

We'll have to agree to disagree on this one. You can bet your ass if he effed up a team mate of mine and nothing was done about it, I'd break his fingers next time we were in a pile together.

And I wouldn't lose a minute of sleep over it.
It's negative consequentialism  
jarrodbunch : 9/29/2009 1:45 pm : link
and doesn't require one to drop their own ethics. You're minimizing the total number oth injuries by having the offender who's injuring people get injured. Popper wrote an article in SI about this in the 90's.
Yeah. After he injured Tuck with his girly kick,  
mudbear : 9/29/2009 1:45 pm : link
he said something to the effect of "Get up. If you can't get up, then don't get up. Otherwise get up." Something like that. Last night, I didn't watch the game, but my wife was watching, and I heard the announcers say at one point that Flozell was down. "Get up!" I was hollering in my head. What an ass! What a schlamoe! What a maroon! I would tell him so to his face, even if it did mean that I'd be flattened the next second. He is one great big huge piece of shit of a man!
The beat writers need to pick this up and make a story of it.  
rasbutant : 9/29/2009 1:49 pm : link
Then maybe BSPN will pick it up, then the league will have to do something.
Flozell needs to be fined  
mehi : 9/29/2009 1:50 pm : link
and suspened. That is out right wrong. This guy is going to hurt someone. What a cheat and a POS.
yeah sorry, not in Flozell's corner here  
David in LA : 9/29/2009 1:50 pm : link
It's one thing to openly root for an injury, but when a dirty POS like that gets hurt, I'm looking the other way not feeling one ounce of sympathy.

You mean hurt someone again.
I'll opt for a total lack of eloquence: fuck this fat fuck  
Kyle : 9/29/2009 2:01 pm : link
I hope someone on a pass rush "trips" while bull rushing Flozell and "accidentally" falls into his knees.
CL, one of the reasons that  
Randy in CT : 9/29/2009 2:09 pm : link
the move is illegal is due to it being easy to injure someone that way.

So whether or not he's "intending to injure" as such, isn't the point. He knows it can lead to an injury as he did to Tuck and later in the game he did it again! The fat fuck! (I meant you there)
what goes around  
sshin05 : 9/29/2009 2:18 pm : link
comes around; Flozell's day will come and nobody will feel bad about it.
In legal terms, if you know, or should....  
Crispino : 9/29/2009 2:22 pm : link
reasonably know the prohibited act may lead to injury, then you intend to injure. I think Flozell intends to injure if you apply that standard.
you can protect your QB by holding  
Larry from WV : 9/29/2009 2:28 pm : link
even if you are beat on a play there is no excuse for that kind of cheap shot. I keep hearing the argument that we would want our o-line to protect our QB anyway they could, and I disagree. If one of our guys got beat and if opened up a free hit at Eli I am 100% behind grabbing a handful and riding him to the ground. However what Adams does is low class and is getting guys hurt. He should be suspended because fining him has proven to be ineffective.
CL  
RB^2 : 9/29/2009 2:39 pm : link
The goal isn't to hurt him, it's to keep him from hurting others. Most people here would rather see his suspended. Since that doesn't seem to be happening, the choice comes down to hurting the culprit or allowing him to rack up more victims.
Yes, in a utilitarian sense, the league is better off having someone  
CL : 9/29/2009 2:47 pm : link
that is going to cause injuries out of action even if it is due to injury itself.

This does not warrant "wishing" or being satisfied with injury to said player. It's black and white.
Tuck needs to hold him up while we get someone to dive at his knee  
TD : 9/29/2009 2:49 pm : link
I'd be very comfortable with that play.
And I can near guarantee you that if after the fact, one of our player  
sg0508 : 9/29/2009 2:50 pm : link
had cheap-shotted him that Flozell gets nothing done to him and our player is suspended and possibly done for the year. It's always the 2nd man that gets caught.

to all of those bullshit trips and holds this guy gets away with week after week, i noticed last night during the crayton end around adams blatantly dove at a defenders legs right at the knees. dude's a total scumbag.

maybe not enough to want somebody to purposely take him out, but almost.

Personally I do hope he gets

put a scrub in to dive at his leg and if he gets tossed and suspended the other DL should take a collection for him!!
Sorry for the bad photoshop  
Mattman : 9/29/2009 9:46 pm : link
He does this because he really sucks  
Some Fan : 9/29/2009 9:49 pm : link
He moves slower than the tin man and once he is going in one direction, he is done. Cannot change direction to save his fat ass life. Ergo, he goes for the easy leg whip.
He's kicking people  
GiantJake : 9/29/2009 10:54 pm : link
Not hard, but he's purposely kicking the guy's leg out. I can't see how that's not illegal.
Where is the justification for that leg whip on Peppers?  
montanagiant : 9/29/2009 11:48 pm : link
It's a handoff for a run away from Peppers, so the argument that he is just protecting his qb is gone as well as saying he is protecting the HB.

To me he is doing this on this particular play in the hopes someone who is whipping his ass does get injured
Courtesy of my man hermhater!
