In that segment Collinsworthless played the part of Mangini giving his pregame emotional speech. In it he basically said:
I don't care if we win this game, but if the NE doctor isn't on the field at least five times, I am cutting you all!
He also said the team should try to injure Moss in the first quarter. Also he said that his players should not go for interceptions, but should let them get the ball, and instead concentrate on injuring the receivers.
The other guys were cheering him ON! How can any person who claims to be a responsible journalist state that the main point of the game shouldn't be winning, but injuring players and perhaps ending their careers? This is the absolute height of irresponsibility!
The rest of the crew said this is EXACTLY what Mangini should do, and that Mangini should Tivo the segment for his players.
How can this be allowed as journalism? Players, teens, and kids watch this show, and they are openly promoting pure assault (in the legal sense) as a game focus. To say that instead of trying to win a game, that players instead concentrate on hurting, maiming, and possibly disabling or killing players as a game goal? Are you kidding me?
Collingsworthless needs to be fired, and the other hosts need to make VERY public apologies BEFORE the game. They need to tell the players and the public that they don't condone this type of behavior.
This was the most disgusting piece of sports journalism I have ever seen, and I have seen a LOT.
Well it will be on tommorow nite again if you get a chance,see it,it will make you puke.
They are already talking how they are going to lose in the playoffs.
And this is different from how the Patriots played other high powered offenses (especially Rams in the SB) how?
Get over it. While coaches won't say "hurt them" word for word, they'll certainly emphasize toughness, physical play, etc.
I didn't see it, so maybe it was too over the top, but it seems like folks are a little sensitive...
We talked a lot about hitting them hard and wearing them down, but never about making them bring their friggin' DOCTORS into the game. There's a big line there.
I love how the media was gushing over the Colts when they were 13-0 a couple of seasons ago when Peyton Manning was going to break Marino's record.
Now the Pats are in danger of breaking that Colts team's records and they're calling for somebody to take out Tom Brady and Randy Moss. If they were doing it tongue in cheek that'd be one thing but they're serious.
The media F'ing sucks. Let the BB FU Tour continue. Embrace the hate!
Don't be surprised if a key player gets taken out on a dirty hit.Mangini is desperate to save face.And when/if it happens he will get some sort of justification from the media.Their is already an undercurrent from the media that it is OK to do anything to derail the Pats, and the media is already suggesting that a dirty hit would just fine and will spin to being belichicks fault.However, it was very questionable as for appropriateness. If ANY Patriot is hurt this Sunday, the question would be whether it was a "mob hit" or not. Methinks Goodell would look askance at someone under contract (directly or indirectly) to the NFL actively contributing to that type of mindset.
