Chris Hope Should Not Expect a Christmas Card from His Former Coach, Bobby Bowden
1-liner, College Football, NFL October 13th. 2009, 1:15pmBobby Bowden and FSU: “When Tennessee Titans player Chris Hope, a former Seminole who started his college career in 1998, introduced himself on Sunday Night Football, he said, “Chris Hope … Florida State of the ’90s.” Not Florida State … Florida State of the ’90s. He publicly disowned the past decade of Florida State football.” Burn. [CBS Sports]

That worked out well for him Sunday night.

If you have to explain why it’s a burn, it’s probably not much of one to begin with.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:24 PM
Charles Woodson should start doing this as well when he introduces himself on Sunday Night Football.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:24 PM
OH…snap?
Still not as bad as when they say their high school.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:24 PM
Classy. Learned his manners no doubt at FSU.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:27 PM
is this the same chris hope that played at fsu in 2000 and 2001?
October 13th, 2009 at 1:27 PM
Two of the Colts’ unknown DB’s went to the same high school, which I just discovered Sunday night.
Enjoy ya clams, cocksuckas.

“Mike Vick. Quarterback. Cellblock D…Leavenworth”
October 13th, 2009 at 1:28 PM
That always irks me. These guys spend three or four years playing ball and boning co-eds (Tebow excepted) on the schools’ dime and don’t have the courtesy to acknowledge their college?
October 13th, 2009 at 1:29 PM
Those self introductions are stupid. Even moreso when Al Michaels feels the need to translate what a player said.

yep

Shouldn’t Brett Favre just mention his kindergarden since “he’s a kid out there”?
October 13th, 2009 at 1:31 PM
I Pulled a Groin – Hey Now Hank is your avatar, correct? I hear every post you make in Jeffrey Tambor’s voice! One of my all-time favorite comedic actors.

“I got to go to college, most likely for free, and played football. Then I went to the NFL where I now make a nice living. However, I’m going to hold a grudge because I actually had to go to class.”
October 13th, 2009 at 1:34 PM
What a tool.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:34 PM

The man kept em down with this ‘class’ shit.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:34 PM
Those self introductions are stupid.
Beyond stupid. Stupid and unnecessary.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:34 PM
Not quite The412. It’s Tobias Funke, an analyst and therapist. Yes, the first analrapist. I agree with you about Tambor. He’s a very underrated actor.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:35 PM
I wouldn’t want my school associated with the Titans either.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:36 PM
Damnit…these avatars are so small.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:37 PM
Bullshit move.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:38 PM
Just did my numbers from the past weekend, managed to go 10-2 ATS. Needed that to make up for the first two weeks of the football season.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:38 PM
Unless Chris Hope is also on the FSU Board of Trustees, I doubt Bobby Bowden even noticed this.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:38 PM
yours is huge. Tebows chick?
October 13th, 2009 at 1:39 PM
Yeah, he went to the Peter Warrick FSU, not the Xavier Lee FSU. Their criminals weren’t overrated.

Damnit…these avatars are so small.
I know. I can’t tell who half of them are (of course, even if I saw some on a full screen, I still would have no clue). Too bad you can’t click on the avatar and have it expand, just so you can see it better once so you know.
(although, i’d rather just have the site cache right and also remove the mudstains and IQ test from overtaking my monitor)

He did the same thing during the season opening Thursday night game against the Steelers, only Bowden wasn’t in trouble then so no one cared.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:40 PM
(giggling)
You know your boobs.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:40 PM
Sweet tongue. Cunnilingus later.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:41 PM
my avatar works on another site, but it doesn’t work on this one. I don’t get it.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:41 PM
“Chris Hope…Asshole.”
October 13th, 2009 at 1:42 PM
Thank you, I take pride in this.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:42 PM
PL, is it rated R on gravatar? That’s my best guess.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:43 PM
how many times are you going to change your pic back to my girl 412?

Ike Taylor — Swagger
/do they let these players say whatever they want?
October 13th, 2009 at 1:43 PM
Why would you get pissed at the guys that say their HS and not college? So they’d rather give some free pub to a small school rather than the massive university that makes millions off their jersey sales and licenses?
Oh wow, Oh St, another Oh St, USC, Fl, FSU
Do these schools really care what the players are saying as much as the little HSs are?
/ike taylor – swaggin
October 13th, 2009 at 1:44 PM
Sounds like a semenhole to me.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:45 PM
Nah, not sure what’s up with it
October 13th, 2009 at 1:45 PM
G ratings only on avatars here… this is a family place.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Because they know what they’re supposed to say and they don’t do it. When they starting putting the high school on the graphics that accompany the players, then it’s okay.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:46 PM
Ike Taylor’s intro should be a clip of him doing the gay hand dance after a receiver dropped a pass with no influence from Taylor, then him getting smoked on the next play and screaming for an offensive interference flag.
Fuck Ike Taylor.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:47 PM
Willie Parker was the first one I remember doing it, and he has every right to not give John Bunting and UNC any free publicity.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:50 PM
So…the channel broadcasting the game is in the back pocket of the universities? Does anyone watch games to see the individual player intros? It’s a bunch of hollow hate. Who gives a shit? If Ike Taylor says Lousiana-Lafayette rather than Swaggin, is he gonna stop doing that hand dance?
October 13th, 2009 at 1:50 PM
Randy Moss is the first one I remember.
October 13th, 2009 at 1:53 PM
You don’t just see it on the networks. You see it on the player bios on NFL.com, you see it on football cards, you see it everywhere. I have a low tolerance for stuff like that because I teach high school. Hollow hate–to me it’s more like hollow defiance and stupid showboating. “Ooooohhhhh, I’ll show them. I’ll say ‘hard knocks’ instead of my real school. I’m a badass.”
October 13th, 2009 at 1:55 PM
Eh, that’s one thing, but if a player does it because the college coach wouldn’t play him, and he ended up making his own career without any help from his college, fuck saying that school’s name.
October 13th, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Then how much more pub do these universities need? So he says his HS, big deal.
I’m not defending the Hard Knocks or Swaggin ones
October 13th, 2009 at 2:04 PM
Consider these the good old days, Jay. It’s probably just a matter of time before players start announcing their gang affiliation instead of school.
October 13th, 2009 at 2:05 PM
I would enjoy it if they were only allowed to mention their school’s name if they actually graduated.
/intellectual snobbery’d
October 13th, 2009 at 2:43 PM
exactly.
bunting was so clueless he couldn’t even find a starting spot for a guy who started on a super bowl-winning team.
