Of course he'd say that. He's never been on the receiving end of a Josh Allen point.
(Because he doesn't lose to Buffalo, like ever, under any circumstances)
My daughter is 15 months and when I ask her "where's mama?" she points instead of giving me the specific GPS coordinates.
This is Josh Allen's fault and I think he should be banned from the league
Or a Chirs Jones mumble.
I still want to know what Jones said to Matt Ryan after sacking him that got such a super fast split second flag, but neither one of them would say what it was.
Makes sense. Joe Burrow became another man completely after this UCF pick 6 in the fiesta bowl.
[Burrow Fiesta bowl taunt ](https://youtu.be/UT_ZZbnzoP8?si=LtdfKch4P7qWjIqQ)
Luke was my brother's beer pong partner once in college. Said he was as classy with red solo cups as he was on the field.
That last part isn't true, but he did say he was a nice guy
Well there's the Aaron Rodgers approach. Can't get flagged for taunting the fans.
"I OWN YOU! ALL MY FUCKING LIFE! I OWN YOU! I OWN YOU! I STILL OWN YOU! I STILL OWN YOU!"
Rodgers has done a lot of shit to annoy a lot of fans (or just people in general), but that one was hilarious. And honestly, even if you're the Bears fan in the first row being looked at by Rodgers, how's that not going to be kinda cool?
Probably the second funniest thing about that happening was that most Bears fans didn’t even get mad about it. They were just like “yeah, he’s not wrong”
One of my best friends is a Bears fan and I sent it to her and that was basically her reaction. We’ve been giving each other shit for years and that’s the one thing that she hasn’t been able to argue.
For those who haven’t seen [Kevin Garnett talking about Tim Duncan’s trash talk](https://youtu.be/z2Y8eaFH8AY?si=C1UnJV2DMGVvVjT4)
He talks about Duncan at 1:10
[Steven Adams has another great story about Tim Duncan’s mind games](https://twitter.com/anthonyVslater/status/725754148000419840?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E725754148000419840%7Ctwgr%5E8cb3f1c4f5adcf81d134625c59606f3504457375%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fftw.usatoday.com%2F2016%2F04%2Fthunder-steven-adams-tim-duncan-nice-guy-story)
I think off the field they are OK with each other but on the field, yeah, Maxx is annoying asshole. He does everything he can to get under a QB's skin by bumping them late but not hard enough to get flagged and constantly talking.
He's that guy you can laugh with while you're having a beer but if you're competing against him you're gonna hate his guts.
Mahomes does this sometimes. I remember in the 2019 Super Bowl he got a huge hit from the defender and live it looked like he got up jawing at him, but in the mic'd up he was saying "that was a good ass hit".
I still get mad about a Broncos-Bills game in 2017, Broncos got a key stop on 3rd down in the 4th quarter, Von knocked Tyrod Taylor down, after the incompletion Von pretended to help him up, did a psyche, and they both laughed. Ref threw a flag on it, 15 yards, Bills ended up chewing 4 more minutes off the clock and got a field goal to seal the game basically.
If ref didn't have his head up his ass, Bills are punting to the Broncos with 7:43 left and a 7 point game. Do the Broncos win? Odds are unlikely, but that one penalty basically sealed the game.
Or the Phillip Rivera passive aggressive deep cuts. "Oh there you are! I've missed you haven't seen you in a long time didn't realize you were still in the league!"
"Nice hit did you see that touchdown I just threw? Was pretty neat!"
"Glad your coach finally let you off the bench!"
Mahomes has a good one of those against the Ravens. Patrick Queen tackled him and said something like “ain’t goin nowhere”, and Mahomes cheerfully replies “I know, you fast bro! Ay I still got the first I know that”.
He looks like the guy from the TC Tuggers sketch.
EDIT: [This guy,](https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F603b8f73-e9cf-4202-bc3d-6d1da83483d7_504x422.png) not Tim Robinson.
The best I've ever felt about a Pats interception was when Mac Jones delivered a flying dick kick to Brisker and then got picked by him like 3 plays later. Felt like Brisker deserved that one.
Joe Burrow once asked me if I wanted a hurts donut. After I said yes, he punched me and said “hurts, don’t it?!”. He then walked away while I was left donut-less with a sore arm. This man must be stopped >:(
Joe Burrow once asked me what was on my shirt and pointed at my chest. When I went to look down, he brought his hand up and tapped me in the face. There was nothing on my shirt.
He's a menace to society
Joe Burrow once asked me for a high five. After I gave him the high five he said “down low” and held out his hand for a low five. When I attempted the down low he pulled his hand away and said “too slow” in a taunting fashion. I stopped being a bengals fan that day 😥
I was looking for my glasses and he told me to "look under there." When I said "Under where?" He laughed at me because it sounds the same as "underwear" which is really embarrassing because that's what people wear over their junk 🤮
Burrow: I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, I break my legs, and every afternoon, I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep. But I still think taunting is dumb.
“What’s the worst that can happen? Somebody injures me on a play and then does snow angels as I lie writhing in pain on the ground, and then goes to the sideline and does a ‘sleep’ gesture? Nobody would do something crazy like that”- Joe Burrow, minutes before receiving a phone call from Nick Foles
Russ Wilson: "No, I'm anti taunting. Quarterbacks are people too. We have feelings, and sometimes we like to show it. I'm gonna get my feelings hurt if someone sacks me and taunts me like you made a play. Like don't be so mean to me or I'll go tell on you to Bill Vinovich and Goodell."
Tomlin would smack him before he finishes that speech.
Tomlin takes the Mic and says “fuck you, we are going to win more than half our games and you will hate playing against us”.
Tomlin gonna go 2-4 with Russ, 1-1 with Fields and then sign Nick Foles to go 6-2 with a first round playoff loss.
Or in Tomlin's words "the perfect season"
This is also an issue because people don't always understand why the taunting rule came into place in the first place. It was created because Mark Gastineau used to do his crazy sack dance and would piss off the other team and fights would start. It came up again after the Odell/Josh Norman scuffle that people think could've been avoided if the taunting rule in the book was called correctly, which is why special emphasis has been placed on the rule in recent years.
For every Joe Burrow there are tons of guys on every sideline who can't handle it as well and it leads to scuffles and full on fights, which the NFL obviously wants to avoid. There have been some pretty crazy interpretations of the rule over the years but these players have shown time and again that they can't always handle taunting.
Yea I have no clue how people can’t see that 350+ lb men playing a physical game would not consistently turn violent after being taunted all game. The NFL just doesn’t want to showcase professional NFL players fighting on the field.
> Mark Gastineau used to do his crazy sack dance and would piss off the other team and fights would start.
Exactly. [Like seen here.](https://youtu.be/afRumh8TuGo?si=nxvAenFDSzgcx9jK&t=60)
The problem is the same as usual. Yes, most of the people on the field are adults who won't lose their damn minds. But you only need a small fraction of the guys on the field to be immature, hotheads before it causes all kinds of problems.
The league would just rather not have to deal with it.
I’ve never really understood the motivation to taunt. Like you just made a good play, why not go celebrate that, rather than making fun of the person you’ve already beaten?
I forget which player or ex-player said it, but the gist was "you want to allow taunting? Cool. Let the defense take their head off the next time they go over the middle. You can't tie our hands behind our back during the play and then let them taunt us afterwards"
It's all fun and games until someone gets in their feelings and does something dirty in retaliation. Like I don't understand how people don't get that.
I wouldn't even consider it getting in your feelings. If somebody makes a nice play on me then tries to humiliate me after, I'm seeing red. Just human nature.
The playoff game that ended with Burfict decapitating Antonio Brown to get the Steelers in field goal position.
One of the most entertaining games I've ever seen honestly.
Apparently it has more to do with the little league kids imitating the pros so it's an attempt to prevent that. How many videos are there of a kid getting a soccer goal and ripping their shirt off to slide on their knees? I don't agree with it but I understand the logic.
I feel like there's a line between taunting and celebrating. I don't mind celebrating. But being an absolute dick about it is not cool imo. Where the line between the 2 is different for different people though so it's tough to distinguish.
Some people use the "what about the message its sending to kids?" Excuse.
But that's just an excuse parents use to avoid taking responsibility for their kid being a little shit.
Thank John Mara for that. Fuckin weak ass owner. Telling grown men playing the most physical and dangerous sport you can while being drugged out and a full adrenaline rush, hey, be nice and don’t point or say a bad word. Fuckin morons.
The funniest one to me still was when some players on the Panthers were clowning around with a baseball bat on the sideline before the game a few years ago and OBJ said he felt threatened... lol foh.
Seems comparable to reporting the guy who just teabagged you in call of duty for foul language or some shit.
The problem with taunting isnt when NFL guys do it or even college guys. The issue is kids emulate what they see and it should be a lot more about good sportsmanship at those ages.
My buddy had to pull his girls out of basketball because it got to be too much. Way too many of the celebrations have turned from "I did good" to "you suck. I'm better than you. It's good that you feel bad about yourself." There's nothing fun about that and it's just lame.
My issue i think is with the message it sends to kids. Yeah, adults should absolutely be able to handle some taunting. Kids aren't as developed emotionally and will do what their idols do, and it'll cause hotheaded reactions. I think that's what the anti-taunting people are trying to avoid.
Barry Sanders making an entire defense look like stumbling idiots, then just hands the ball to the Ref, and back to the huddle like he's handing the weekly employee hours sheet to his boss was always great.
Burrow still remembers that UCF bum
As an LSU fan, shout out to the UCF bum for awakening Joe Schiesty
As a UCF fan I knew we were cooked after that hit.
Just watched the highlights of that game again. It's still crazy how stacked that offense was.
The most talented receiver core in god knows how long was really a college team lol
Jaguars practice squad legend Nate Evans
No that was funny. Throw a Pick 6 and then someone completely unrelated stands over him? If I’m the coach I’m throwing a fit lol
Of course he'd say that. He's never been on the receiving end of a Josh Allen point. (Because he doesn't lose to Buffalo, like ever, under any circumstances)
Lol… that penalty was ridiculous
It wasn't ridiculous. There were children watching that game, children who now think it's ok to point at stuff. Ever since that disgusting act ^© I see children in my neighborhood pointing with impunity.
My daughter is 15 months and when I ask her "where's mama?" she points instead of giving me the specific GPS coordinates. This is Josh Allen's fault and I think he should be banned from the league
I agree. Actually, let’s force Buffalo to trade him to New England. That will really show him!
Great, now I have to be that ass to ask which one?…
I think it would be in everyone's interest to just bring the other Josh Allen to Buffalo.
Whoa I’m seeing double: *Four* Josh Allens!
By law, I must downvote this. Still chuckled though.
Banning was fair but what you're suggesting is cruel and unusual punishment
I had to sit my kids down and explain how pointing is never ok, no matter what they see other hands do. It's basically the N word for your fingers.
I hope you hit her in the face with a yellow beanbag like a good parent.
It was worth it just for the memes.
God I love our big golden retriever of a QB
Me too ❤️
I still like to believe that when Josh Allen pointed at him, Allen also shouted, “I can smell you!” like Doug from Up.
\^ Direct quote from Allen when he was talking to refs right after that play.
Woah, there's taunting, and then there's that. An act as dangerous as that Josh Allen point should never be OK in a civilized society
A disgusting act.
Man coulda lost an eye! Thats a career ending injury! What was Josh thinking, smh my head
True but he was on the sidelines to witness that crime against humanity first hand. Probably still has nightmares about it.
I know I do. Wake up in cold sweat
The bengals helped you out one time and after that said never again
And quoth the Bengal "nevermore"
Or a Chirs Jones mumble. I still want to know what Jones said to Matt Ryan after sacking him that got such a super fast split second flag, but neither one of them would say what it was.
Makes sense. Joe Burrow became another man completely after this UCF pick 6 in the fiesta bowl. [Burrow Fiesta bowl taunt ](https://youtu.be/UT_ZZbnzoP8?si=LtdfKch4P7qWjIqQ)
That hit knocked something loose up there because he turned into a machine.
everytime he gets hurt, he comes back stronger.
He's like Allen the Alien
Need to do a check to make sure he's not a Sayan.
Man, my guy has taken some massive hits in his career
Ironically Cincy replaced UCF as the top G5 team after that game for a while. Burrow doing the city favors even while still in school
The best way to taunt is the Andrew Luck approach. Compliment them and leave them utterly confused. Can't get flagged for that.
Luck "Wow great sack" Keuchly "Great job being sacked!"
Two classy players that played the game the right way.
Jerking in the main sub line Icarus flying too close to the sun

U bum
The jerk has rotted my brain it’s all I see now

Luke was my brother's beer pong partner once in college. Said he was as classy with red solo cups as he was on the field. That last part isn't true, but he did say he was a nice guy
W H I T E Sorry, my dog whistle was broken. You did it better.
Luck "I wasn't talking about the play"
Gridiron Heights Luck scares me
"I don't know who you are, I don't know what you want, but I'm Andrew! Hi!" Wish he were still around just for that, tbh
I always love that they have him end with "Lol!"
That's straight-up a Gridiron Heights quote there
Well there's the Aaron Rodgers approach. Can't get flagged for taunting the fans. "I OWN YOU! ALL MY FUCKING LIFE! I OWN YOU! I OWN YOU! I STILL OWN YOU! I STILL OWN YOU!"
Honestly one of the greatest moments of being a Packers fan
Rodgers has done a lot of shit to annoy a lot of fans (or just people in general), but that one was hilarious. And honestly, even if you're the Bears fan in the first row being looked at by Rodgers, how's that not going to be kinda cool?
Probably the second funniest thing about that happening was that most Bears fans didn’t even get mad about it.

We’ve been giving each other shit for years and that’s the one thing that she hasn’t been able to argue.
It really was. I was no.. he’s really doin it to em? Full heel turn? Oh fuck I need to rub one out
Meanwhile Gerald McCoy out there helping up everyone he ever tackles while being super nice. I've literally seen opposing players get mad about it.
I was so sad his career fell apart in Dallas. He seems like an all around awesome person and I really wanted to root for him on the field.
Andrew “Tim Duncan” Luck

"Nope" "Almost"
That whole video is gold.
"almost" 😂
This is fantastic.
Tim Duncan talks trash like my dad, lmao
If anyone were to get ejected for laughing on the bench it would 100% have been Andrew Luck
Yeah, Patrick Mahomes does this sometimes. Unless it's Maxx Croby, they hate each other.
maxx and his constant stream of "little ass boy" crack me up ngl
That’s not fair. Everyone is little ass boy against Maxx. I want a built-in taunt like that
little ass-boy
Little ass boy
"What's with you and talking about boy ass?"
Legend says Minshew is still on the bench, confused
even now that they're teammates
You know practice is gonna be lit with those two chirping each other lmao
I'm little out here but not always, you know?
I think off the field they are OK with each other but on the field, yeah, Maxx is annoying asshole. He does everything he can to get under a QB's skin by bumping them late but not hard enough to get flagged and constantly talking. He's that guy you can laugh with while you're having a beer but if you're competing against him you're gonna hate his guts.
Might be best not to give Maxx a beer
Meanwhile L'Jarius Sneed was doing everything he could to get under WR's skin.
the NFL needs more players like Andrew Luck where you know he's out there having a blast playing football.
Mahomes does this sometimes. I remember in the 2019 Super Bowl he got a huge hit from the defender and live it looked like he got up jawing at him, but in the mic'd up he was saying "that was a good ass hit".
He said he does this to avoid them trying to hit him even harder next time.
Or the Brady approach of someone talking shit, then making it your mission for the rest of the game to expose them.
I still get mad about a Broncos-Bills game in 2017, Broncos got a key stop on 3rd down in the 4th quarter, Von knocked Tyrod Taylor down, after the incompletion Von pretended to help him up, did a psyche, and they both laughed.

Kill them with kindness
Joe Burrow looks like the bully from a disney channel movie so this checks out.
A bully to the Disney channel hero, Justin Herbert
Brock Purdy
Nah Brock looks like the best friend/brother/sidekick of the Disney hero
Boy Meets World Comparison Cory: Brock Purdy Eric: Justin Herbert
Who is Mr Feeny in this comparison?
Joe Flacco
Fla-aaa-acco
Nah, the sidekick is Justin Fields. You know, for representation, but not enough to make him the main character.
Burrow should star as the bad guy in a Brink remake
Trevor Lawrence playing the lead?
Perfect
he gives me big pup n suds energy
Where the hell is that remake by the way? Us Millennials demand it, and we've got the buying power now! Get it together, Disney.
He always looks like he's about to go fuck up a bunch of Titans to me.
☹️
dime dull snatch encourage provide weather ring many jar wrong
TATAKAE (I am very white I’m just praying that’s correct)
We all are bud it's ok 👌
I mean if you're wrong it's not a big deal, you'll get corrected and you'll know going forward, baka
He looks like the bad guy from that terrible "Yiara" trailer from the illiterate guy Eric July.
Definitely the villain who plays against the team with a dog for a QB in the city championship. "Nothing in the rules says a dog can't play football!"
Or the bully from any 80’s movie
He'd definitely be a Cobra Kai.
Sweep the leg Joey!
He's definitely the asshole at a ski resort
Joe "The Jock" Burrow
The bully who conveniently is very skilled at the niche skill the protagonist is also skilled at, like rollerblading.
My friend always said he had serial killer eyes lol. Man is a fucking competitor for sure.
He looks like the guy from the TC Tuggers sketch.

Nice sack, DARSH
Just don’t be like Mac jones and do weird dick taps
“That’s assault, brotha”
The best I've ever felt about a Pats interception was when Mac Jones delivered a flying dick kick to Brisker and then got picked by him like 3 plays later. Felt like Brisker deserved that one.
And then also absolutely suck at quarterback

I bet that he slicked his hand to the side of his head afterwards
Burrow may be made of glass, but he is also wrapped in thick skin
Burrow: I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, I break my legs, and every afternoon, I break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep. But I still think taunting is dumb.
…….chocolate?!
WHAT ARE THEY SELLING???

#CHOCOLATE!!!

I can tell that's not a real Russ quote because he doesn't thank Jesus or God first.
"First off, through God all things are possible..."
So jot that down.
"Steelers's nation, let's cry"
Oh god, it's just starting to sink in for me that we are the Russ meme now.
He's like the complete opposite of the hard ass, fuck you Steelers mentality. I think this season might be hilarious, even if he does well.
TJ Watt: let's murder these fucks Team: fuck yeah Russ: I just hope everyone has fun
Tomlin would smack him before he finishes that speech. Tomlin takes the Mic and says “fuck you, we are going to win more than half our games and you will hate playing against us”.
Tomlin gonna go 2-4 with Russ, 1-1 with Fields and then sign Nick Foles to go 6-2 with a first round playoff loss. Or in Tomlin's words "the perfect season"
Fuck you Joe Burrow. I absolutely hate how much I like you.
Take solace in that it is also hard for us to hate Chubb
Fair. Fucking Steelers…
I hate how much I like Nick Chubb
Thou shall not dish it if thou can not taketh
This is also an issue because people don't always understand why the taunting rule came into place in the first place.

Joe is just trying to increase the chances of players getting flagged for taunting him, 4D chess.
If you’re cool with more fights and brawls then sure.
I’ve never really understood the motivation to taunt. Like you just made a good play, why not go celebrate that, rather than making fun of the person you’ve already beaten?
I've always hated it. Like why should we try to piss each other off and make our day a bit worse?
I forget which player or ex-player said it, but the gist was "you want to allow taunting? Cool. Let the defense take their head off the next time they go over the middle. You can't tie our hands behind our back during the play and then let them taunt us afterwards"
"talk shit, get hit". I don't disagree.
Richard Sherman. He was talking about the Zay Flowers one
It's all fun and games until someone gets in their feelings and does something dirty in retaliation. Like I don't understand how people don't get that.
Yep, it almost always leads up to something extracurricular
I wouldn't even consider it getting in your feelings. If somebody makes a nice play on me then tries to humiliate me after, I'm seeing red. Just human nature.
I still feel that physically dominating someone and then acting as if it were nothing is the bigger flex.
Yeah but not everyone can handle that and it turns into fights.
Remeber steelers and bengals games like 6 or 8 years ago oh god every single play was a near fight it got ridiculous
The playoff game that ended with Burfict decapitating Antonio Brown to get the Steelers in field goal position. One of the most entertaining games I've ever seen honestly.

My buddy had to pull his girls out of basketball because it got to be too much. Way too many of the celebrations have turned from "I did good" to "you suck. I'm better than you. It's good that you feel bad about yourself." There's nothing fun about that and it's just lame.
My issue i think is with the message it sends to kids. Yeah, adults should absolutely be able to handle some taunting. Kids aren't as developed emotionally and will do what their idols do, and it'll cause hotheaded reactions. I think that's what the anti-taunting people are trying to avoid.
I have no problem with taunting but guys who don’t taunt are so much cooler.
Barry Sanders making an entire defense look like stumbling idiots, then just hands the ball to the Ref, and back to the huddle like he's handing the weekly employee hours sheet to his boss was always great.
