Every single one of these guys are millionaires. How about showing some respect for the nation that writes your paycheck? I mean honestly, how hard is it to put your right hand over your heart while the National Anthem is being sung? One idiot even has his left hand over his heart and is holding his helmet in his right hand over his head. Another one is standing, both arms down, pushing his mouthpiece in and out like he's sucking a dummy. They are all proof, you don't have to pass basic manners to be rich. The whole bunch should be run out of the country. Any owner that puts up with type of behavior out of multi-million dollar per year employees should join them.

X3...When I was at the radio station, I had the chance to meet a lot of athletes and the majority of them were total jerks....That's why I'm not much of a sports fan anymore.

I agree. Also, let's not forget that most of these "college graduate" players probably could not pass the TAKS test. Just take them for entertainment value and don't dwell on them too much.

X4 - Maybe the NFL should work a little harder on their "clean" image and add some respect.

When to put your hand over your heart:

The US Code (Titles 4 and 36) specifies four circumstances for rendering the hand-over-heart salute:

1. When the US flag is raised or lowered
2. When the US flag is carried past in a review or parade
3. When reciting the pledge of allegiance
4. When the national anthem is played

The saluter should face the flag in all cases. If the national anthem is played when the flag is not displayed, the saluter should face the source of the music.

Doubt most of these guys know this, maybe they should register at 2cool!! LOL
