Default OT: Eli throws his RB under a bus

Did you see Eli yell at Ahmad Bradshaw for missing his assignment during the Giants-Saints game? This seems to run in the family.

"He’s the greatest quarterback to ever play the game. He goes from being a rookie that nobody is expecting anything from, to taking over with people saying he can’t do it, to winning three Super Bowls....It should already be obvious he’s the greatest quarterback to ever have played. "

C'mon..........
Brady has done things he regrets as well, including that tirade he threw on the sidelines a few weeks ago.

I don't think he threw him under the bus, I didn't see him use Bradshaw as an excuse to the press.....he was pissed, he told him, but the cameras saw it....happens more than we know I'm sure.

Pass rush? Uneccessary when you have 72 CBS playing.
Lbs? What for, we have no pass rush, they gonna chuck it at our lousy CBS...all 72 of them bums

Yup ... they all throw fits ... except for Vince Young ... his team yells at him instead.

Players need to do things like that if they want to be leaders.

He was right to yell at him, Bradshaw totally missed his blocking assignment that gump jr. pointed out to him at the line. Now if he called him out in the media that's different.

Eli reminded me of a spoiled frat rat playing intramural football in college . . . As a former Quarterback myself, I thought his physical contact (slapping Bradshaw on the helmet as I recall) with his teammate was highly inappropriate.

I give a lot of latitude to what guys do during a game (within reason, of course). I don't really consider it "throwing someone under a bus" unless it happens after someone has had time to chill, e.g. the postgame presser or an interview.

Hitting a teammate crosses the line.

I missed that, but it only crosses a line if Bradshaw thinks it does.

I have no problem with what he did. He pointed out who he needed to block before the play on his pre-snap reads/adjustments. He literally pointed the guy out to him and he still missed it. After the play he yelled at him a bit and gave him a tap on the helmet and a shoulder pad like "get you're head in the game" smack. No big deal, it's football.
