Clay Matthews...Punk

[18Manning]

Lost respect for that guy. What kind of a punk move was that? Offer to help Palmer off the turf then pull your hand away.

lol

lol, I didn't see it, but it sounds pretty funny.

[pgt_rob]

I've seen it happen before. I'm sure it happens more than what people think. 

[hawkeyes]

That was hilarious!

I'm sure it happens more than we know, I don't recall a high profile player like Matthews doing it though (being caught/recorded doing it).

[IndyTrav]

Can I be the first with a roid rage joke? 

 

Roid rage. 

[Cynjin]

Palmer had the appropriate response, a touchdown pass on the next play.

[Girlzarefanstoo]

That kind of behavior does nothing but lower the one exhibiting it.  Glad Palmer "got back" at him where it counted.

[Valpo2004]

Saw that yesterday. . . That's some pretty crappy sportsmanship.  

[Gramz]

I am pretty sure Carson got the last laugh.

[RockThatBlue]

I thought it was kinda funny myself. Not a big deal. He doesn't have to help palmer up anyway.

[OffensivelyPC]

And 40 seconds later, he wished he could take it back.

He doesn't have to help him up, but there's no sense in pretending you're going to help, only to pull your hand away. IMO, it's not something a high profile player like Matthews should do. He, like many NFL players, has many young people aspiring to be like him. He only showed many impressionable young people how to be a jerk.

38-8 enough said to mr.matthews. football gods dont like that stuff

[Synthetic]

 

That entire team has attitude problems. Remember the Panthers game where Peppers threw the ball away from Newton? (Newton, hands the ball to a child in stands after every touchdown) and then Packers players getting into Reservoir Dogs style arguments on the sidelines. 

 

Don't worry though, the Packers aren't winning anything if yesterday was evidence as to what a mediocre overrated team they are. 

 

[BloodyChamp]

Ya'll know how much I hate the Packers but that was such small potatoes lol come ON guys...and Palmer got back at him the very next play anyway.

Beautifully stated 18M. I couldn't have said it any better myself. Bravo! I thought it was very small, petty, & low class on Matthew's part. 

 

Personally, I like it when opposing defensive players help QB's up because it shows a sign of respect to a rival & just because a LB may try to sack a field general on every down once the play is blown dead by a zebra; I'm just a competitor helping a peer up on his feet again. 

 

Most NFL players can separate job duties: sacks, deflected balls, hurried throws, & turnovers from other counterparts who if we saw in civilian clothes on the street we'd say hi to & talk briefly with. I may hate the Cowboys as a team, but if I saw Romo in person, I'd be polite to. It's only when he puts that uniform on that I want him flat on his back honest.

I like this too. I think to myself what a gentleman the defender is when he does that.

Thanks for the link. That was even funnier than I imagined.

[Swan Ronson]

What a monster.

[Dustin]

You guys are way too serious.

[Buck Showalter]

Think its a USC thing...

[King Colt]

Well, if they both go to the Pro Bowl or the "Who Cares Bowl" maybe Carson can fill Matthews lockers with a special "gift"

[Revala]

When I saw that I definitely didn't think was funny, but I don't find that kind of behavior funny on any level of society.
