It was Joe trying to smooth things over.   How's that?

I agree with Burrow "It is what makes football fun."

He doesn't do it, but he makes the first down gestures, which has many members here whine in their tight panties if it was another player.
They *****, "why don't players hand the ball to the refs"



You also had Chiefs players mocking the cigar-smoking including the KC QB.

I've seen members here ***** when Bengal players in the past do a backward point to their names and called those players egotistical.

You are bending over like a pretzel trying to whine out of it.

He clearly stated what he stated "It is what makes football fun" and now you are trying to insinuate he is trying to smooth things over??

C'mon man get real and understand what I wrote. I never said Burrow is a Trash Talker, I said and he said it's fun.
The first down gestures and pointing to the back of his name on his jersey is what other members over the years have whined about. And now suddenly they are quiet. 

I might be on a team and not good at trash-talking, but my teammate is and I think he is hilarious.

Burrow might not be good at trash-talking, but he thinks some of his teammates are hilarious.

"I never start it but I'm going to try to finish it when I can."  "I'm not going to go out in the first quarter and try to get folks riled up but if somebody says something to me I'll be talking that whole game."

"I never start it."

So he never has fun unless someone else starts it?  How can this be?  It's inconceivable!  He must spend the whole game praying that someone will talk trash to him so he can actually enjoy the game for a change.  

Burrow is not what you're trying to claim, and you know it.  He's a leader of men, not a typer of shit on a keyboard.  He uses it to help motivate himself when someone else disrespects him. Which is why when you're playing in a league with players on every team who can "finish it," it's stupid to provide that extra motivation.

Burrow is the exact opposite of the shit you're talking. Thank God. He's a confident leader who leads by example. He's demonstrative to fire up his team and celebrate their accomplishments when it's appropriate.  He reserves trash talk for people who disrespect him and for times when he can do something about it on the field of play.  Burrow is the epitome of, "Don't start nothin, won't be nothin."

You are dismissed.

1. Your opinion on trash talk is going to closely correlate with your age. OP must be around my age because I loved the nWo as a kid and generally like trash (not prick) talk. Trash talk is an additional gamble you are taking which adds to the fun, in my view. Older people are more likely to have the shut up and keep your head down mentality. Neither approach is wrong, just different. The key is not to cross any lines or waste too much time.

2. Players themselves get amped up and express themselves in different ways. Josh Allen, for example, is the most boring interview you will ever listen to. I turn my radio off or fast forward the podcast whenever he talks. On the field though, he gets in guy's faces and screams after big plays, which is more reflexive and it works for him. The bengals are a confident group and trash talking (or having a chip on their shoulder, whatever) works for them more often than not.

trash talking is a a gamble, just treat it as such and realize you win some, you lose some and have fun (if you want to).

Hilton had his worst game as a Bengal, he might want to slow his roll next time.
