Thibodeaux: I don’t know who Jeff Saturday is, his comments don’t affect me

[Slugsy-Narrows]

Classless.

I agree!  The comments by Saturday and the Colts center shows ZERO CLASS

I like Art, and maybe I am showing my age, but I grew up in the era where pass rushers hated QBs.   The idea that KT should feel bad for celebrating a sack because Foles had some sore ribs feels wrong to me.  This is football, not synchronized swimming.

Agreed!!!!

I know I'm going to get the "get off my lawn" tag by some for this, but IDC

WHEN DID THIS SPORT BECOME ABOUT FEELINGS?  God the world is turning into a bunch of snowflakes!

Why does he need to apologize for a clean hit and celebrating it?

Some have to Stop with the outrage!  It's a violent sport!  We want these guys to play hard and fast and then turn it off in an instant and cuddle!

Can't have it both ways! 

I'm glad he is being defiant and hope he holds his ground and doesn't cave!!

He said, he didn't know he was hurt, watch the play!  He immediately rolls over helmet on, looking up at the sky.  You can't see anything out the side of those helmets like that!  He has no clue Foles is down and out.

Then the night night thing was about putting the team to sleep, not Foles!  That should be sufficient enough!

You choose not to believe it you are just being silly and over sensitive!  The man hasn't shown or given any reason yet not to believe him. He said he hopes Foles is ok, he doesn't want to hurt anyone or see people get hurt.

They should be sufficient.

I'm with you. My opinion of him is unchanged.

Absolutely love Thibs response!

He knows EXACTLY who Saturday is and the fact he said WHO is just classic!

Keep balling Thibs!  You did everything right and nothing wrong!

He doesn't need to do a prolonged exaggerating celebration. There was a time a rookie would never think of doing that. For so many to have conflicting views on this, a good place to consider in my opinion is somewhere in the middle - have your celebration, keep it short, but when you realize the guy is injured perhaps don't continue yakking it up on the sideline.

PS - I also have an issue with WR who do their job and make the stupid 1st down sign or take off their helmet type stuff.

I was going to say - if I had but one criticism of him on this play, it was that the celebration was too long. He was down there for like 10 seconds. A sack celebration should be 3-4 seconds. It should be less than a TD celebration.

I don't mind that Thibodeaux values showmanship, in fact I like that he does, but don't have your celebrations be 3x longer than what the best in the league at your position are doing. Maybe win a DPOY or two first before you try to do that.

I don't think either celebration was directed at Foles.

The snow angel was just celebrating the play.

The "sleeping" gesture was putting the Colts/game to bed.

This. We've had a soft defense for a decade, sure as heck not gonna get mad now that we have savages on board.

The problem is KT is smarter than the reporter interviewing him.

But is that really a problem?

SMART, tough, and dependable.

Well, maybe a problem for the reporter. 

[AZGiantFan]

Who's Jeff Saturday??? Oh a former Center who happens to be a bad head coach, nothing to see here

And, IMO, completely out of line on Saturday's part - calling someone trash, probably not even knowing him, based on one occurrence that he completely misinterpreted - is a bad look for him.

[Hadron]

I thought the celebration was a bit on the long side but other than that? No real issue.

Good point. I agree with on this.

No, Thibodeaux's actions and comments are classless and an embarrassment to the NY Giants.

  Sorry so wrong!

I believe Lawrence Taylor said something to the effect of "When I hit the quarterback, I try to chop the son of a bitch in two. It sends an electric shock down his body."

I'll find the exact quote. It's from "The Blind Side."

Yes, and we cannot forget the legend, Deacon Jones, who coined the phrase "the sack" by stating he grabs the quarterback, puts him in a sack and beats him with a baseball bat.

Peace!
