quote help

Post by TG1996 »

does anyone have the quote from one of the Falcons (I think it was a lineman) after the 56-21 win over UT a few years ago? The one about "they say walk softly and carry a big stick, they wanted to talk trash and now they have our sticks in their mouths".

After the Chad Johnson/Pepto-Bismol incident this week, and that Chad is still trying to find a suitable side dish for his foot, I keep thinking of that quote, but I don't remember the verbatim.

Can you explain the Chad Johnson/Pepto thing?? I have no idea what you are talking about, but this sure sounds interesting!!!
"Regarding BGSU, I would think their biggest strength is that they never give up, They never slow down and they battle hard even after the other team scores. We have to be on our game and never, ever take the foot off the gas for a second."

"BG was relentless. It's like they know that a good first pass on the breakout from a defenseman will almost always result in an odd-man rush against them - but they go in anyway and dare you to make that pass. All three of their goals were just grit and effort. That's a team any fan can be proud to support...they give all they've got."

For background info Chad Johnson is a WR for the Bengals who has a deal going with Pepto this season that they are donating $x to breast cancer research for every TD he catches.

Anyways, he sent a bunch of Pepto Bismol to every Browns DB (they played today) because he said they would need it as sick as they're going to be on Sunday trying to cover him. It was humorous, but in the end Chad Johnson dropped a few passes today, got nailed a few times by the Browns, and played an overall poor game in a Browns butt whooping of the Bengals.

OH OH OH MR KOTTER!!! PICK ME!!

2001....Chris Glantzis....the UT players were talking big all week leading up to that game. After the 56-21 ass whuppin', Chris uttered those great lines!

And I quote...

"They say walk softly and carry a big stick. Well they got a mouthful of big sticks tonight. They were talking trash all week but we have class. We kept out mouths shut".

I'll never forget that night.

Chad Johnson? What an idiot!

"Chad Johnson? What an idiot!" No kiddin, if you are going run your mouth you better be able to hold up your end of the deal. Pro football is stupid IMO

Yes, Chad Johnson likes to run his mouth, but I think the Pepto thing was all in good fun. As hammb mentioned, he has a deal with Pepto to donate money to breast cancer awareness. I think it was Johnson's humorous attempt to bring some attention to a product he has a business deal with. I really don't think he was trying to show up the Browns, and I never heard any of the Browns make a big deal about it.
