If you "probably" wouldn't do it, then that means you think what he did was unnecessary, no?

 

He egged his kid on to keep crying, acted insensitive towards him and the situation, offered nothing of substance to comfort him or make him understand why, and then like the douche he is, said his kid could "go find another favorite team."

 

So, he took advantage of his child's emotions, filmed it, offered no solace so he could keep the effect going, and then instilled in him that loyalty means nothing.  But, by being a cockhead, he got his 15 minutes of fame and got in on the kid's much-deserved reward.  It's was pretty slimy, and I don't see what there is to dispute about that.

 

Again, happy for the kids, but the dad is lame.

 

Agree 100%.

 

That dad is a total douche bag and it sucks that he got 1 ounce of anything from manipulating his kid.

oh my god you people are so sensitive... yea i said 'you people'. the kid got to meet his hero because his dad was able to film the ordeal. the dad might have provoked the kid to cry but he didnt say or do anything that was out of line.

 

Pretty much

Anyone think it's likely that that father and the kid staged that whole entire thing completely?

 

 

Steve said that he actually knows the boy and his father and there kids have done things together. Said the kid was so upset because he isn't just Steve Smith the player, he is Boston's dad to that kid.

 

That doesn't prove it isn't staged, but adds some doubt IMO.

      1st period was a Masterclass on defense by both teams. About time for the Canes let’s keep it up.

      Yes, it tells me they’ve improved significantly from sitting at what, 30-31st in the league on the PP to 11th now.

      I wanted someone to hire him so we got the picks, but I'm also not upset that he'll now be back. I genuinely don't understand why so many fans on here dislike him so much.  No, he's not perfect and made some mistakes this year, especially at the end of the playoff game and going so soft in coverage on the final drive. But considering this place torched him all offseason for us having the "worst defense in NFL history" last year.  Said in the whole pre-draft process how we had to go defense in round 1 because of it and then complained the rest of the offseason that we didn't do enough to improve the defensive roster. How do people say all that about the defense and then complain when he turned that same unit into a pretty respectable defense this year.  They were really the only reason we were in a lot of games for most of the season, as the middle part of the season they really stepped up and were playing like one of the better defenses in the league. I don't see any reason we can't improve even more next year if we spend another offseason focusing on adding pieces on that side of the ball, which we should be able to do with our draft picks and cap space. We had the historically worst defense ever last year and people are upset because we weren't the 85 Bears this year, make it make sense.
