Sanders' 'cramp'

SteelTerp · Oct 31, 2012

The league should deal with flopping before it deals with fake injuries. At least with injuries you have to sit out a play. If you flop a la Jerome Simpson last year, you're rewarded with 15 yards and a 1st down

I may be in a very small minority with the opinion I'm about to express. I truly mean no disrespect to anyone who feels differently than I do, as I share this. The reason I have decided to share is because I thought there might be a chance (however dismal) that a voice from a sincere fan might have an impact upon his lifelong favorite NFL organization (one can hope, heh).

So, what's my beef?

I am really bothered by the fake cramp (fine acting job, I'll add--even down to the mimicking of pain on the sideline bench). I think it showed a lack of integrity and class by an organization that I have come to have a great deal of respect for. To fake an injury to keep from spending a timeout is nothing short of cheating. I realize that other teams, if not all teams, do the same thing. But I'm not a fan of other teams--I'm a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers, and I would like to think that my team is above this type of underhanded tactic.

Honestly, I would rather see the Steelers burn a timeout and lose as a result than save it by such actions and win. I think there are more important things than winning, and playing and coaching with integrity are among them.

Please know that I express this opinion from an honest desire to see my team be the best it can be.

10 Giants can fall down and everyone haha's. One Steeler fakes a cramp and can't get love from a Steeler fan "Allegedly" What is the name on the front door here? Is it ratbirds or STEELERS message board?. Sanders either did good or he did have a cramp.

Can anybody here prove he faked it?[/quote]

Don't think they can Glenn. He done good if he did fake it

I like how in the Giants clip Tuck just walks right over his own guy. Obviously no concern because they all knew someone had to fake an injury. haha.

So Manny got a notice from the League office saying they want to meet with him for the "fake" cramp?? Unbelievable.
