Darren Sharper Fires Back at Visanthe "Stankoe"

Oh snap, this is getting good!

Earlier today, Minnesota Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe responded to Darren Sharper's "X marks the spot" tweet, alluding to a future of painful revenge targeted at the veteran safety's surgically repaired knee...  

Vikings' Shiancoe on Sharper's tweet: "Sharper had surgery too. If x marks the spot on Brett, I wonder what marks the spot on Sharper?"    

It didn't take too long for Sharper to catch wind of Shiancoe's words and return to Twitter for more trash talk...

So visanthe stankoe X marks the spot on me, how bout X marks the spot for how many catches and TDs you'll have come Thursday night. X = zero...If you feeling yourself put your game check on it. No TDs and less than 3 catches you give me your game check. Now whose talking.

It's on now! You kids play nice.

Man, gotta love D Sharp

The icing on the cake will be when Sharp picks six a ball coming for stankoe in the endzone. Then Sharper shakes in his general direction.

Yeah

We had people saying we were going to win the superbowl at the beginning of last year. Were good. Thats baseball.

That's betting on games, Darren

Don’t even kid about things like that, or von Goodell will send the Gestapo to your rooms.

I’m sure Darren would want the game check donated to a charity of the winner’s choosing. These upstanding gentlemen would never pull a Pete Rose.

That was my first thought when reading that tweet… The loser of the bet donating his game check to the charity of the winner’s choice…

What's better than knocking a HOF qb on his ass?

Getting to do it again on national tv. Brett just can’t get enough of Saints punishment.

i would love to start seeing players betting their game checks

AMBUSH!!

Ok. It's May. It's hot. Training camp doesn't start for almost 2 months. And the whole oil thing sucks to high heavens

But speaking as a true Saints fan, Sharp, I loved your play last year. I love the passion for the game. I love having you in centerfield in our secondary.

 But who even knows if you are going to be on the field or on the active roster for the opener. Quit the tweeting with the opposition and do your rehab so you can do your talking on the field.

  Act Like You’ve Been There Before, because after last year, you have.

 By the way, I don’t believe the Commish takes to these “side bets” even in jest. Sharp should probably expect a call from Commandant Gooddell.

Wasn't it Stankhoe...

who mimicked D-Sharp’s celebration dance in the NFCCG? I’m pretty sure it was. Gotta believe D-Sharp didn’t appreciate that. Still, my favorite moment of that game was when Porter picked off Favre and, after being tackled, did a beautiful imitation of Jared Allen’s “stirring the pot” routine. I laughed my ass off at that!

Here’s the play that brings tears of joy to Saints fans and tears of sorrow to Vikings fans.

God that's hard to watch

I was sitting down, in tears. Suzjo4 was yelling at me to get up so I did, during the penalty. Then the pick. I’m not a very good Saints fan.

Why would you even ponder passing!?

Because...

Farve just has to try and have the glory. He tried to force the play and got burned (yet again…he has a habit of that!)

Stirring the pot?

I always thought he was ropeing a calf.

by cbkao on May 28, 2010 1:19 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions  

I stand corrected.

Looks like stirring the pot to me. “Roping the calf” seems like a kinda stupid celebration. Well, whatever it is I’m glad Porter got a chance to use it in that game. I’m sure he planned on doing that ahead of time. Or, he may have only thought to do it after Shiancoe did “Sharper’s Shake” earlier.

I think it's more appropriate than any other sack celebration....

He lasso’s a QB and hogties him down, makes more sense than some gyrating gorilla move or a home-run swing… the double-six-gun thing isn’t bad.

I rather liked Big Sed’s sack dance too.

As long as it's not the "Lights-Out" dance . . .

. . . which makes me wish Merriman would get struck by lightning.

Dr.Gothic is a stud with all his predictions ??????

I gave the X comment the other day . My first day on this site . Mr.Editor asked me into the office to check the OK box . Only a troll can hate on me for my comments . If this team can’t stop the partying and get humble more than a target on their backs will destroy what should be a good run to playoffs . A few more comments and every team will be putting up 500 yards and holding ya to 200 total yards .
    The wisdom of my words will come back to haunt this team . Brett will use this to motivate his Barbarian Horde !! Fear the purple boys , cause you are cornered and can’t get out !!! This has become a must win game for you .WE don’t need this non-confernce matchup . Lose and your reputations as champions will become just another victom in Brett’s long list of victoms ………..The comment that I’m hearing from you seem subdued . That is a positive in the recovery of what little dignity Darren has left to your team,fans, and city . Dark days and a purple sunset are in your immediate future . But go ahead and go to the game . It will be a great chance to see the Greatest Quarterback that ever lived play for the Greatest Team he ever played for ………..

Brett has a long list of victoms?

Sounds like a personal problem to me. He needs to get that looked at…
