I say he shows up in some Hollywood fanfare, stepping out of a stretch limo in full tux, declaring it's "Show Time!"

Reggie is coming back, Luck advanced another year, year 3 under Pag's system, new pieces in FA and the draft along with others returning from injury...the Colts are now on everyone's radar, they're not sneaking up on anyone anymore, so it's time for this team to step into the bright lights and take the big stage (Super Bowl).

It's Show time!!

He's going to show up dressed as Apollo Creed.  Ties in with the "strapping on the gloves and ready to box Pagano if he tries hold him out of any of training camp.

 

Will he be dancing to "Living In America" by James Brown too? :)

 

Thank goodness we don't have any Russians named Drago on our team.

Absolutely not!!!!! Gotta protect that knee!! lol

if he's gonna injure his knee from sky diving, it's probably best for him to skip training camp. and if some freak accident happens, it's gonna be a lot more than his acl getting injured again.... on second thought let's not sky dive..

Last year he came via helicopter, in 2012 dressed as a soldier, he rolled up in a dump truck back in 2009.

Any guesses as to what he does this year?

While I know Reggie has mad respect for our soldiers, as a veteran , part of me still finds the fact he wore the uniform without earning it distasteful. And yes I feel that way about every civilian doing it, not just him.

I agree.  But I'm weird because I also feel that way about fans that wear "official jerseys" and refer to the team as "we" or "us".

I'm far from exempt from referring to the team as we or us . . . but I've always thought found that funny too.

 

"We won!!"  No those 53 elite athletes and their coaching staff won.  We sat on our butts eating Nachos while watching them do it.  

 

Although one could attempt to get around that by simply considering the team and it's fan-base to be one unit or group as there would be no NFL without fans.

meh.... I don't see the big deal. The uniform isn't earned.  Its just government issue. It's the rank and the medals that are earned. He wasn't wearing either of those.

Seems kind of ironic, the person who inserts himself into the accomplishments of others tells someone else to, "get over yourself." 

 

I think a strong argument could be made that my viewpoint is far less narcissistic than yours.

I see what you mean and it is a good point, in the end he was just playing soldier for a couple of hours, they do more than that in the movies.  Counter point, somewhat, the uniform is earned in the fact that to get an official uniform with name tag you have to enlist.  Even that would not have been so bad but it was his horrible salute while in uniform, if you're going to play soldier than at least he should try to play it properly.

It's not identifying with one's hero but RESPECT!  It's a common bond with the military and it's something that if you haven't worn the uniform (no matter what branch of service) you'll never understand the RESPECT and the bond that we hold!

 

I appreciate Reggie Wayne showing respect to the military and have no hard feelings on him honoring the military and wearing the uniform.  I'm commenting on the respect that we as vets have.

True, I think the NFL and the individual teams definitely encourage that "we" attitude.  People won't spends thousands of dollars of "them" or "that team" but they will spend it on "us" or "our team".

 

For me it started in high school, we had a pretty good team, got up to being ranked 5th in the state and my friends who didn't play would come up and say things like "we're doing great." or "how are we going to do this Friday?"  Then when we lost it sectionals it was like "you guys had a tough loss" or "you guys didn't play your best." After that, if I did not play or coach a team I do not insert myself into their accomplishments or failures.

I still don't see it. If I drop out of basic week one, I still get to keep my uniforms. Did i earn them?   I will say though if he had worn a beret then the gloves would've been off for that.  :catfight:
