One of the things I love about him is how quiet he is. When he speaks, you listen. When he speaks, its pure class. I love that we only get 1 or 2 quotable things out of him per year. Makes what he says that much better.

Absolutely. I would probably be an AJ Green fan no matter where he played. I sure am glad he's in stripes.....outstanding young man. That's one of the things I really admire about the 14/18 dynamic....they truly are role models and class acts. It's a far cry from the days of the outlaws.

I agree with this. From everything I know, they are both extremely classy individuals. I've read stories about both of their childhoods, and they seem to come from good, solid families. It shows in the men they became.

Yes, of course there were exceptions, like Billy "White Shoes" Johnson and Gastineau started the 'sack' dance, but for the most part, the most celebration you saw was the spiking of a football.
Washington's Fun Bunch was the original group celebration. No flags, no fines. Although I do remember a Cowboys player being mad they were about to celebrate a TD in Texas Stadium and ran into the middle of it to break it up. Tom Landry disciplined him for interfering with it, calling it unsportsmanlike. If I remember correctly he benched the guy for it.
As to the OP. I like what Green said about not bailing out on his teammates, but he also made statements that he would not rush back to chase anything and risk his future, which to me says there is only a slim chance that he will return at all this season.

I remember it well. Again that was in the 1980s when it all started, not in the 50s, 60s, and 70s until Billy Johnson did it first in 1974. Not much else happened until the 1980s.
