I must have missed that thread. What twirling rifles? What athletically unaccomplished douche-bag? Or is it not worth dredging up again?
Anyway, I'm already perusing the food store circulars looking for deals on lobro.

Good lord how many lectures do we need..unwad your panties...Flood was being booed not Laviano
I agree. The team had a precarious lead, at home, and people were booing. Despicable.
Apparently, given that even you don't understand how it doesn't make any difference who was being booed at that precise moment in time, or why they were being booed, we apparently need at least one more lecture.
It's not worth it...lol
and no douchebag in particular.
I think those apt to boo at sporting events, GENERALLY, have never played the sport past the 3rd grade. Just an unscientific observation.
While I get that people were booing Flood, the timing is too poor to get the Hudson seal of approval. I would not have done, but won't wag my finger at those that did. It is what it is.
Laviano's got bigger problems than being mistakenly booed. He has a photo shoot with TMZ to investigate his ability to play D1 football with a 3 foot piece of Linguini as a right arm.
Can you please explain what this abominable coaching decision was? Because I am not sure what is abominable about putting your starting QB back in when he is ready, especially since he was 4td/1int and 200+yards passing.
He was 4TD and 200+ yards passing and ran two dives into the line during crucial point of the game. Pretty abominable coaching!!!! If so confident Laviano was perfectly okay, why no pass play?
Agree 110%. I can't believe there are actually d-bags on this board who are making excuses for the booing. You can say whatever you want about Laviano sucking in many games this year, but he played very well today and absolutely did not deserve to be booed when going back in after sitting out after having his bell rung.
Carlin and Lucas were also upset by the booing of Laviano. What upset me about reinserting Laviano is when he was hurt, he was flat on his back with his helmet off for quite a while. Appeared to be really banged up. You would think that they might want to look at him for MORE THAN ONE PLAY. But Flood sends him in immediately. Was Flood afraid that Rettig would show his stuff and prove Flood wrong?
Let's play this back. Laviano gets hammered on a play where he throws to Carroo under pressure up the middle and saves a first down on a day where he is throwing for 300 & 4 TDs. He's writhing around in obvious pain on the ground for several minutes (I honestly thought his ribs might have been broken based on the replay). He eventually gets up and walks off the field. There were no cheers....or at least no audible cheers - which is the customary reaction to an injured athlete getting up. However there are significant audible cheers when Rettig comes in. After one play when Laviano comes back in - there are significant audible boos.
The intent might have been to boo Flood for most. However based on the series of events leading up to the boos - that intent does not make booing any more classy or appropriate at that time. Sometimes it's more appropriate to act like a human being at a sporting event and understand a situation for what it is.
PS - I want to see Rettig in there as much as anyone.

Abominable to me is trusting a kid to say he is okay and putting him back in to hand the ball off when your back up can do that, giving you time to assess if the starter REALLY is ok.
That is a reasonable thought. However people were not booing because they were concerned with Laviano's well being.
People booed what Laviano coming back into the game represents. It represents everything that is wrong about the head coach.
The fact that Laviano got caught up in the cross fire of that was unfortunate.
IF Fludd had an ounce of self awareness, he sat CL down after the game and told him "that was directed at me, I'm proud of the way you played today."
And then Lavs promised that he wouldn't release the naked pictures of Flood and the Baboon cage from Turtleback Zoo again this week and they agreed to go 1-0 this offseason.

yeah, I was already schooled on that. Watching from home it was unclear they were booing when lav came in rather than when Rettig was pulled and the next play was a handoff.
I totally agree that no injured player should be booed when coming back in. However, I think it was a spontaneous, albeit thoughtless, gut reaction to a season of injustice to Rettig and frustration with HCKF. Maybe I would not have booed but I consider it a venial and not mortal sin. And, I am not a 2 year old, mean, old bigot.
And, any concussion clearing professional might have liked more than one play to clear Chris.

bac,
you know it, I know it, and most of the people here absolutely know, even if they don't want to admit it, that the fans were booing Flood for not allowing Rettig to get a chance.
a lot of feigned anger,here, I knew I would see this thread, and the bullsh@t that follows.
IF the fans were booing Laviano, why don't they do it when the offensive starting lineup shows his pic before the game?....or after any other series during the game?....
I heard the booing when Laviano got back in, I understand completely where it was coming from.....but of course some here want to make it out as something else.
find something else to complain about, there is plenty else.
On the other hand, ... I was really afraid it might impact Chris's learning if they held him out for more than just that one play.
Booing the coach in that situation isn't recognized. I am the biggest non Laviano fan out there, but that was just low grade Jersey meathead stuff. Real low grade.
Well the BTN announcers thought it was way over the top ...so I guess you got that going for ya
Last I checked, CL is an adult and a paid athlete. Let's give out a few participation trophies and all will be well.
How does this post make any sense at all as to the point of this thread and/or the post you were replying to. Are you making the claim that it is OK to boo an athlete at any level who got injured and is coming back into the game?
Stop trying to read too much into this. Rettig, the better QB entered the game, the fans were happy. Then Rettig got taken out, fans were unhappy and boo'ed. Not a big deal. I'm sure the fans weren't boo'ing because CL wasn't as injured as they hoped or thought.
Once again, many bigger things going on right now with the program. Stop making a mountain out of a mole hill.
1. It is my opinion, but I am more reliable on player safety than play calling.
2. After a hit like that, with a player down for a while, suspect a concussion
3. If 2, don't trust the kid to say he is okay so fast
4. Rettig has done well with the direct handoffs
5. A few plays and you might clear the kid if you don't suspect a concussion
So you are of the opinion that the loud booing was because everyone thought Flood and staff conducted an improper medical evaluation of Laviano?
No, only the concussion professional likely were concerned but not enough to boo. I think it was unfortunate that many fans had a gut reaction to HCKF yanking Rettig so quickly with Laviano just hurt. I think any injured player deserves cheers that he/she is ok to come back. I absolutely think that if HCKF had not mishandled the QB controversy this year then Laviano would have gotten a rousing applause. He played hard and had a very good game.
I'd give the booing fans a slap on the wrist. No talking for the first half of next year's opener.
I agree with all of this except for the part about him playing well.
He was not very accurate today. He was one of the reasons we lost ....not the #1 reason, but one of them for sure.
But the booing as he re-entered the game was unforgiveable.
Try not being a troll occasionally. You know you're wrong on this, so just stop.
