Who said anything about sportsmanship?

Is that what Chad Kelly was kicked off of his team for? If so I had no clue. I thought it was for crying like a bitch during his press conference announcing to play for clemson lol. Fast forward to 30 sec mark. He looks like a tough guy alright. I remember Clemson fans talking about how embarrassing it was lol.

I agree and disagree with you though Brent. Your players have to have attitude. You want them mean. No doubt about that. What you don't want to happen is stupid penalties for being a thug. Imagine a 30 yd gain by Ellington down to the FSU 5 yd line in a close game in the 4th qtr. The last thing you want is for him to jump up and act like a punk. Cost the team a win for poor sportsmanship.

Even more importantly, you don't want what happened to our teams in 2004.

In closing, I'm a firm believer in actions speak louder than words. If a guy comes up and pops you in the mouth with his shoulder pad (Greg Reid on Lattimore) it will hurt a lot worse than jawing like a rapper in someones face after a short gain or shoestring tackle. If anything it gives the other team more drive. "Homeboy talking shit shawty, let shut his goat mouth"
