Joe horn makes cell phone call after TD catch

Craptacular · 12-14-2003, 10:38 PM

I haven't been watching the game, but saw the article on ESPN.com:

On the Horn: WR makes call after TD catch

What will these jackasses come up with next?

Pure garbage...Horn just fell of the list of classy WRs in the NFL...what a shame.

He was on the list of classy WRs?

Eaglesfan27 · 12-14-2003, 10:58 PM

I never knew he was on the list.

Some people here in New Orleans would say that he fell off that list when he allegedly banged Willie Roaf's wife.

I'm going to step in here and defend the showboaters again. I thought it was hilarious. As I always say, just because YOU don't like it (speaking of everyone who's so concerned with "class") doesn't mean that there's some horrible thing happening in the NFL.

Personally, I hope that the showboating happens a hundred times more often than it happens now. Maybe then the people who disagree with me will stop watching. Nyah.

Pumpy Tudors · 12-14-2003, 11:01 PM

Dola

My dream is to see a guy score a touchdown, run into the tunnel, and come back out onto the field in a decked-out Hummer, drive to midfield, and start doing donuts.

Edit: Preferably in another team's stadium.

yabanci · 12-14-2003, 11:06 PM

Pumpy Tudos, I skimmed your post and thought you wanted to see him come out of the tunnel and make donuts at the 50 yard line. I was picturing a little krispy cream stand.

Actually, that's what defensive player should do after a drive-killing play like a sack. He could run over and give the donuts to the opposing coach.

I think that the NFL is concerned that things like this will get out of hand and turn the NFL into the "ME, ME, ME!" league that the NBA is now.

But I have no problem with normal endzone routines like dances.

I miss the endzone dances.

Thats one of the best quotes in awhile...would have been QOTM materialwith referance to the content

Daimyo · 12-14-2003, 11:39 PM

While I prefer my favorite players to act like they've been there before when they score, this kind of stuff doesn't bother me at all. Its just a game!

EDIT: It does annoy me when guys celebrate meaningless things... like making a sack when your team is trailing by three possessions, etc. TJ Duckett celebrating after scoring a TD while losing 31-0 is much worse than what Horn did IMO.

Tigercat · 12-14-2003, 11:48 PM

The shame is that Horn scored 4 TDs, and the phone thing is what will get the attention. (One could prolly argue successfully that he deserves that.) Apparently he told his Mom that he would call home if he scored a second TD, and sure enough...

kingfc22 · 12-15-2003, 02:46 AM

Too bad TO already did something this outrageous on a national televised game. So this just looks stupid and not creative at all. Not saying TO wasn't stupid. but at least it was orignal then.

TLK · 12-15-2003, 03:10 AM

That's the beauty of TO's celebration's, they look spontaneous. Horn's just looked contrived and all-in-all pretty lame.

Ben E Lou · 12-15-2003, 04:13 AM

I like it. Pro sports is entertainment. That was entertaining.

SirFozzie · 12-15-2003, 04:30 AM

Besides, he PROMISED to call his Mama if he scored twice. He did, so he was just being a good guy and callin his Mama like he promised.

He shoulda called again after his fourth TD

Cringer · 12-15-2003, 04:43 AM

Did anyone catch Chad Johnson's first TD catch for Cincy? I thought it was great, he went towards the camera with a sign that said "Dear NFL, Please don't fine me for this again." or something close to that. I just didn't know where he got the sign, never saw on the replay. Someone must have been holding it for him.

JonInMiddleGA · 12-15-2003, 06:51 AM

Ksyrup · 12-15-2003, 07:24 AM

I loved the performance, but only because he's on my fantasy team.

I thought Haslett reacted properly and said the right things, but this got me somewhat confused:

"It was the same thing in Atlanta," Haslett said. "He'll learn. He's only 32."

Say what? Since when did being in your early 30's give you license to do immature and classless things? I feel an "It's OK, I just ate at Subway" moment coming on, since I'm "only" 32 as well.

What an asshole. He catches a couple TD's and has to make an f'ing dumbass out of himself. Question for you Mr. Horn...........Where were you LAST week assface???? Yeah, when my fantasy team could have used a couple TD's. Jackass, i should stick that phone up your ass.

Not to mention the fact that being on the older side of 30 means he's not got many years left. Maybe after he retires he'll learn class when he's 48 or something.

I suspect that was a backhanded comment by Haslett.

BFD he pulled out a cell phone. It was weak at best humor wise.
Had he mooned the crowd with a big T and D on each cheek, then we're talking comic genius...

cmp · 12-15-2003, 08:41 AM

Man, you people take things way to seriously. I thought both Horn's and Johnson's TD celebrations were quite funny. I dont consider either of them to have less class for just having a little fun after scoring a Touchdown.

I agree. I laughed at loud when I saw Terrell pull the sharpie deal last year, but unfortunately missed this one. I found the idea pretty amusing though.

I also loved the Terrell Owens/Emmit Smith/George Teague episode from a few years back as well. I think creating real heated rivalries is good for the game.

Pumpy Tudors · 12-15-2003, 09:11 AM

Just to get everybody riled up, I'd like to see a receiver score a touchdown, reach under the goalpost, pull out a roll of $20's, and start handing them to every player in the other team's secondary.

I can't wait to see a linebacker or defensive back make his head ring louder than his cellphone. The worst part of the whole thing was that he couldn't even find the phone at first, he spent a few second searching for it, then walked away. Another teammate ran over and grabbed it and handed it to him. Poorly executed.

As for oykib's statement that he misses endzone dances, you really don't realise how lucky you are. Just watch a CFL game to see all the terribly contrived 'dances' the receivers do nowadays. The worst part is my Bombers are the worst offenders

On a related note at least Horn's team was winning. I really enjoyed T.J. Duckett's shuffle while down 30 pts...

Yeah, that kind of stuff is annoying as hell. Particularly since I had Indy's D on my fantasy team and was irked that they gave up a point. Then he did that. Plus, he added the "I can't hear you" ear move, to which I responded, yelling at the TV, "You can't hear the crowd because they all left at halftime after your team got blown out, you idiot!"

Yeah, especially if ESPN had that LB "Mic'ed up for sound". I would pay good money to see/hear that.

judicial clerk · 12-15-2003, 09:53 AM

I don't love the showmanship, but I prefer to give the guys a little slack if he works his ass off in practice and shows a desire to win and not just attain personal glory.

Examples of this would be Deion Snaders and Terrell Owens. I always hated Deion until I heard that he actually busted his ass in practice and took the game seriously. Same goes for TO, although maybe my information is incorrect.

My favorite TO celebration was when he cried like a baby after catching a touchdown pass form Steve Young on the final play of the game to beat the Packers in the playoffs a few years ago. I like that sort of passion.

Huckleberry · 12-15-2003, 09:57 AM

As for the "he's only 32" comment, our President described a drunk driving arrest at the age of 30 as a youthful indiscretion, did he not?

I think the fact that he really got his bell rung had a lot to do with it. That was one of the most impressive catches I've ever seen though.

Too bad they only won the game due to the botched call on the Jerry Rice fumble on that drive. Sours it a bit.

cthomer5000 · 12-15-2003, 03:22 PM

hehe.. one of ESPN Page 2's take on who Joe was calling:

Albert Connell: "Yeah, it's all clear, man. This celebration will keep everyone's attention for at least four or five more minutes, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting in the locker room. Deuce's locker is still in the same place, and I'm sure he didn't lock anything away before the game today. Just make sure and give me my cut this time."

Masked · 12-15-2003, 04:35 PM

Hey Mustang, you mean something like this from the NY Daily News

I didn't particularly like the celebration, but it was somewhat amusing. Also he did not (at least directly) taunt the opponents as TO did in Dallas which IMO is worse. He more than made up for it on his next TD, when he gave all the credit to Brooks who has taken a lot of heat (some deserved, much not) from the fans and media in New Orleans.

Sorry to threadjack, but speaking of taunting, it's people like TO and Horn who are causing legit celebrations to be flagged. In the Seattle game, Darrell Jackson caught a TD pass over the middle, one of the Rams hit him late, and then he actually turned his body away from the Ram and spiked the ball (his first chance to spike it considering he got hit late) and he was immediately flagged for unsportsmanlike conduct. That was a BS call if I've ever seen one. He in no way spiked it at the guys feet, he actually turned about 45 degrees away from him and spiked it.

As in other areas of life, it's the absurd and over-the-top actions of a few that ruin typical actions for the rest of us.

sabotai · 12-15-2003, 06:22 PM

Say what you will about Joe Horn's phone call, but I never heard his name mentioned along side TO and Randy Moss, in terms of stats and accomplishments, until today.

He just realized that he had to do something stupid in order for people to take notice and give him respect as a quality receiver.

Now how sad is that?

WheelsVT · 12-15-2003, 06:58 PM

Anyone see the Sportcenter interview?

Horn: "Hey, they celebrate in EA's Madden and don't get fined for it."
Dan: "That's a video game, Joe."

and Irvin's cracking up in the background.
classic.

Personally I like a little celebration, but bringing the sharpie or the phone is over the top. (even though it is entertaining)

Let me hear an AMEN. When players go to the New Orleans Saints, they go to media blackout hell.

If Joe Horn wants the attention, how many great WR outside of Marvin Harrison do you know that don't want it?

I'll bet you only need one hand to count them..

illinifan999 · 12-15-2003, 08:45 PM

I'm mixed, I love to see Larry Fitzgerald just toss the ball to the ref, but I like to see the players get creative. Personally I liked the photo shoot the Saints did in the endzone after returning to blocked FG back more than the cell phone.

Also he did not (at least directly) taunt the opponents as TO did in Dallas which IMO is worse. He more than made up for it on his next TD, when he gave all the credit to Brooks who has taken a lot of heat (some deserved, much not) from the fans and media in New Orleans.

He just realized that he had to do something stupid in order for people to take notice and give him respect as a quality receiver. Now how sad is that?

Dan: "That's a video game, Joe." and Irvin's cracking up in the background. classic. Personally I like a little celebration, but bringing the sharpie or the phone is over the top. (even though it is entertaining)

Personally I liked the photo shoot the Saints did in the endzone after returning to blocked FG back more than the cell phone. __________________ Chicago Eagles 2 time ZFL champions We're "rebuilding"
