Danny Trevathan loses TD in premature celebration; teammate injured in aftermath

This guy is everything I despise about professional sports. In his haste to perform the Curly shuffle in the end zone and get some "all about me" camera time this retard dropped the ball without provocation before it crossed the plane of the end zone, and the ball eventually rolled out of the end zone for a touchback. The Ravens then drove 80 yards for a touchdown.

This is what happens when you make retards into celebrities and millionaires. You can bet if he was being paid no more than the average construction contractor he'd have his head out of his ass on focused on the game rather than making sure he has his end zone "choreography" worked out.

Well now he is famous and just about everyone in the sports world knows his name, just not quite like he was hoping.

Can you imagine doing everything it takes to make it to the NFL and beating all the odds only to have some jackass like this on your team?

Don't necessarily want to focus on the one-guy, one-incident aspect here, as I'm guessing he got the point when all was said and done; that said, I would certainly agree that the culture of professional sports had bred a lot of this banality.

It does seem to manifest itself more readily among certain players in certain sports for whatever reason, but taken as a whole, I'm still left to wonder why anyone would choose look up to these guys as they do, much less pay them half of what they earn. Just a reflection of our infatuation with entertainment and escapism, I suppose.

I do appreciate a good ballplayer, of course. I just have no use for the egos and attitudes. Apparently, you can think just as highly of yourself as you like, provided you have enough money.

Maybe I just need to get rich.

He's got my vote for 2013 Player of the Year.

I don't think this is the first time something like this has happened. I vaguely remember seeing a highlight reel years ago with a montage of similar antics. I'm sure it won't be the last time we see this happen.

Put a dog shock collar on him and play "Where's the line".

I like the comment by the announcers "Hand the ball to an official".

Premature celebration

He's a rookie player that just bagged an interception off the Superbowl Winning Chump Joe Flacco, it would have been his first TD as a NFL player. Got a little excited.

Whats with all the hate towards professional sports here lately? They are paid the amounts they are because we as fans pay to see them play.

If you don't like pro sports then don't watch and don't bitch, easy enough.

And yes, I'm a Bronco's fan.

"Lately"? It has been like that here since I joined. Bring up the NBA and see how many haters come out of the woodwork.

Basketball sucks, just not as much as soccer though.

Personally, I can live with end zone celebration.

This was definitely funny and a little pathetic, but I find excitement and celebration to be part of the game if its tasteful and doesn't get into taunting.

What I can't stand is the tolerance of thugs and criminals in pro sports. If Victor Cruz wants to salsa dance in the end zone I'll watch and laugh, but the second these guys are involved in a shooting or fail a drug test or whatever, they need smacked down hard.

For the record, if I had the talent to pick six ANY pro QB in prime time, during my rookie opener, I'd probably have acted like a retard too. Doesn't make it any less funny, though.
