Sounds like I’m in the minority here, but I’m big on “act like you’ve been there”. Celebration is fine. Over doing it is not. What is allowed in the college game is fine with me, although the dawgs have got some big time BS excessive celebration penalties that have cost them games. (LSU a ways back, TN Hail Mary)
Trash talk is something totally different to me. I dont Agree with it, but can’t usually hear it. So go for it , if it’s your thing.
Totally ok with trash talk in a golf group amongst friends. I better Be anyway
Let your level of play do the talking....
Thanks for the memory! It's still sweet to see.
Celebrating a play is one thing. Getting in an opponents face is **** and shows an undisciplined team. Seriously, go look at the best programs, none of them (except LSU) enable trash talk. It’s funny when it happens, but the teams that are doing it usually aren’t gonna win big games. Remember that Tennessee player who flipped off the bama fans after a touchdown? The most prevalent programs that openly enable trash talk currently are Florida, Miami, and UCF
Look at baker mayfield, grabs his junk against Kansas gets knocked out when it matters. Honestly that’s why what burrow did this year is so impressive to me. He consistently backed his trash talk up all season. I love the guy, but if he’s smart he’ll pull back a bit before he goes to the NFL, cause everyone gets knocked down eventually.
Brady turned into a trash talker after his fourth super bowl. Peyton never trash talked. Mahomes never trash talks. Cam and Phillip rivers are the biggest trash talking QBs of my lifetime, and neither has a Super Bowl
Well, I'm on this side too. Play the game, make the plays. No need to talk about what you did or didn't do on the field. It's right there for everyone to see. Want to talk, take it to the sidelines and talk with your team mates.
BTW- Thanks for the Herschel clip. I too was at that game....
Are you insinuating that you can't trash talk and win big games lol... Odd take
Nick Chubb says things like "excuse me", "please", "good job" & "thank you". It works well for him.
I do like trash talking though.
Obviously, when a player on my favorite team talks trash it’s a sign of how passionate they are for the game. When a player on the opposing team talks trash, it’s a sign of how undisciplined and low-down they are, obviously as a result of poor coaching/culture/upbringing. Obviously.
Some people talk smack, others don’t but you can trash talk and still be respectful of your opponent. Certain players use it to fuel their own game, some to get in the other guys head.
I'm alright w/ talking trash, as long as it doesn't get too personal and turn into an assault/battery charge for one of them.... we as fans sure talk a lot of sh!t to opposing fan bases.....

Here’s one that might throw you for a loop. Larry Bird was arguably the greatest NBA trash talker of all time. Anybody wanna come out and say that his unsportsmanlike conduct was detrimental to the game?
Of course not. It was part of what made him a top 10 player all time. Trash talk people as much as you like; if it makes you play better, or it’s a part of your persona as an athlete, go for it. If it costs the team, that’s different.
Chubb does it the right way!!!
Was thinking the same thing. Larry just calmly said stuff then backed it up.
Ric Flair talked trash every saturday night to Jim Ross and became the most decorated World's Heavyweight Champion of all time. So now what?
This is one of those gray areas where it likely comes down to who’s doing the talking in determining if it’s acceptable based on ones tolerance. The flashier the player, the less acceptable it is.
Brady- “Yes, it’s passion!”
Manziel- “No, he’s a clown!”
As some have said, sometimes it elevates the player talking trash; they need it and they’re not the same player without it. Pickens and Burton fit this description. Blaylock does not.
Talking is part of the game. Getting penalties for talking is not.
