Visanthe Shiancoe Takes Sharper Feud Too Far? (Updated with Sharpers Response)

PrintUmmm...
Okay, the good-natured back and forth between Darren Sharper and Visanthe Shiancoe last week was fun and provided quite a few laughs during this incredibly slow period of NFL news but "Stankoe" - as Sharper likes to call him - might have taken it a bit too far this time.
Last night, Visanthe took to Twitter yet again. This time, with pictures!
TRUE STORY! Before target practice a soldier suggested a custom target for me. Guess he wanted to start my engine early for the SAINTS game!..."X- marks the spot".. Loved the idea, ehhh so I went for it
And here is what Osharper Bin Laden looked like when Shiancoe was finished.
What happened? Was the Hitler target already being used for Bobby McCray? It's obvious that some of the military guys Shiancoe was with set this up for him so I will ignore any possible insinuations that he would like to actually shoot D. Sharp, but did he really have to support the idea and share it with the world? I'm sorry, Vikings fans, but you cannot call Saints players classless and/or cheap shot artists when one of your own is pulling this.
Maybe it's time this ends now. I would hate for Sharper to follow this up with something really stupid. Or brings his friend Jeremy into this.
Update: Too late! Sharper has already fired back...
ok homeboy you done went too far, making me out to be something that has brought this country alot of heartache...Imma bust you right under your chinstrap from the first play on. I don't care about the fine. F the money Imma do it for the red,white&blue...And you'll see me cuz I'll be dressed in black & gold. Protect your neck that's all the warning you get.

And i can see this spiraling out of control in a case of stupidity and one-ups-manship. What is next, Sharper tackles Shiancoes Grandmother and teabags her while someone snaps a picture?

Let me clarify my yes
Trash talking is fine. But (and no offense intended) with some of the attitudes some people have with guns, the ease with which they can get those guns, and the mental imbalance that some people with those guns may have. Whose to say that some whackjob doesn’t think that VS has a brilliant idea and decides to take matters into his own hands (hopefully a far fetched notion but who knows).
Trash talk all you want. But keep it football related. Keep it personal. To me this is just stupid.
Football is easy if you're crazy as hell
It is all in fun between friends
these guys get along and they like each other. Any of you ever talk smack to one of your friends? This is what it amounts to w/ these two. No one should think otherwise. I just hope that people are not biased w/ their opinions, thinking that it was funny when Sharper said something and now the Stanko’s retaliation being inappropriate.
The only issue I can see is that Goodell could step in and take action, although I think that doing so at this exact moment is premature. Contrarily, they should stop while they are ahead – Goodell is a no-nonsense type of guy.

As evidenced by that locker room mishap
I think it would be a lot more traumatizing for Shiancoe to pull a stunt like that on Sharper’s Grandmother, she would look like an elephant.

Nah this was set up by a couple of soldiers out in a terribad place
I have no problem with him doing it. This will probably get worse before it gets better though… I just wish Ocho Cinco would chime in with his opinion on it.
It will be hard for Sharper to one up this though…
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...

I’m much more annoyed that picture targets are the closest the US military has been able to get in the hunt for Bin Laden.
Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
so that every mouth can be fed.
By all accounts, these two were pretty close when Sharper was in Minnesota. I kind of have to think this is all fun for the two of them.

I was sick of it when it started.
It may be all in good fun, but they both look like jerks.
"It's better to burn out than fade away."
I am completely and utterly disgusted at this comment from Shiancoe.
I have remained pretty neutral up to this point, because i do not believe in commenting on something I know nothing of.
I have several friends who have died trying to find Osama Bin Laden. One of which had to be buried yesterday. Something has got to give with these two. This is completly uncalled for. This is not the NBA. It is the NFL. Talk trash if you want, but leave terrorism and everything associated with it alone.
In addition i would encourage the people on CSC to not go to the Norseman website and stir up anything about this. It would be just what they need for most of their member fannatical BS to come back. I for one hate that!!.
Do not give in to this. Get mad but do it on CSC.

Ok jeremy lighten up.
As I see it, they did their trash talking and Sharper couldn’t hang. I bleed Saints black and gold but smack is smack. What may be off limits to you might not be to others. If I could find a way to use photo shop and put favres face on a pic of OBL and send it to my friends that are vikings fans I would. Sharp should have come back with “at least he hits harder than you” or something. (hopefully something better cuz I know that sucks, I was just winging it). All I’m saying is don’t get your panties in a bunch cuz OBL got brought into the picture. What else represents the ultimate enemy right now? It’s all funny to me.

Have you ever served in a combat zone and had friends die?
If you have not you cannot even begin to understand how big of a slap in the face it is to their sacrifice.
This has nothing to do with football. Whoever gave him the target, made a bad judgement call, even if that is the truth of the story. Several people say they support veteran sacrifices, especially the one’s that made the ultimate sacrifice, but things like this show a different side of them. It seems like they support them when it is convient. Would this comment towards shraper be appropriate a week after September 11? No it would not. So why should it be appropriate now? It is not.

I agree
I think it was a joke up until Sharper got all pissy about the picture. What it seems like to me is that these dudes were just cutting up until their giant dude ego’s got in the way. Eventually it will go away and people will just laugh about how stupid it is.
If what they said is considered horrible my friends and I would be shot dead for things we call each other. HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR PEOPLE…it helps make the world an easier place to deal with.

Sharper just got ticked because he couldn't think of a way to one up shank
And really it wasn’t Shank who had this idea but a Minnesota National Guardsman.
It's a lot easier to love the Vikings when they win...
This will probably make me sound like a butthole, but...
Lots of people die in lots of different ways, we shouldn’t have to sanitize our language just because we might mention a word that relates to something someone died doing.

"I can eat oreos faster than him" Scott Fujita's take on Payton Manning SB44
Too far?
I would say no, not even close. Most of us thought it was ok when Sharper said that x marks the spot on Favre was ok. It was all in good fun is what most of us thought. Then it goes back and forth and gets to the pic then Sharper getting touchy about it. If you thought that it was ok for Sharper to say that he was going for Favre then i’ll call you a hypocrite if you have a problem with this. Someone said something about what if a fan takes this the wrong way/too far and does something to Sharper. What if a fan had taken what Sharper said at the beginning the wrong way/too far and decided to break Favre’s ankle. It’s a battle of words. I highly doubt and really hope that neither of these guys are taking this too seriously. I know Sharper replied back to the photo like he did but I don’t think he really feels that way. Shiancoe made him into someone that most people in the US thinks is a bad person. “Imma do it for the red,white&blue”. Really? I think you might do it for you. It’s all stupid in my opinion but if they take this seriously like this then I’ve lost a lot of respect for both players. To me it’s like getting upset about a “your momma” joke. Both of them should take a break if they’re upset but it’s alot of publicity for both players. maybe it’s all typed up and done from someone else to cause the publicity.

Enough is enough
Trash talking is one thing, but a picture of Osama Bin Laden is just a tad too far. Sure I see the “Lighten Up” messages posted by our own faithfuls on the CSC here, but the gravity of the most hated man in the world representing Darren Sharper is just a hair past too far in my book. That goes beyond trash talk. And just so everyone understands, the soldiers that helped conjour up this little picture were definitely not our in the far reaches of Afghanistan when they did this. Speaking from experience of being in that country, there aren’t too many lush green patches of grass. It was done in at a Minnesota firing range, not the desert. True, I have never been a soldier, but I have been around the world enough to know where that grass will grow, and where it won’t grow. I think it should stop now, before Sharper and Shiancoe both get fined, and suspended for the first game. If they keep it up, they will both draw suspensions and be ruled inelligible to play in the opener for violating the league’s conduct policy.

The soldiers who came up with this were egging on the trash talking.
So for a non soldier to dis them is wrong. Sorry, but yea it was inflamitory and a out pretty far. But regardless it was a jab at someone who was also talking crap. Being a soldier who has deployed more than once and been in the sand I would still put my trash talking counter part’s face on a pic of OBL for fun. It seems to be that the ones that are that up tight are the ones that arent holding a gun. I mean no disrespect to anyone, but as this is playing out I gotta say, if the soldiers taking shots arent offended how could anyone else be? And if you are, what the the hell did I fight for? That being said…..bring on the season!!!!!!

Not Dissing Anyone
I am not dissing any of my troops, I support them fully, I always have and always will. The clarification I pointed out in reference to the picture not being taken overseas is in reference to Grime’s comment earlier. I don’t share the same mentality towards OBL that some do I guess. I think it is tasteless, and that is exactly what the you and every other soldier in US history have fought for, my right to have a difference of opinion from your own. I can appreciate trash talk, but as I previously stated, I think this has gone too far. It crossed the line of trash talking with the pictures. That went straight to a tasteless attempt at humorless stupidity. I thank you for your service to our country, but also know that I have been supporting my troops overseas for over 7 years – 18 months in Afghanistan, over 5 1/2 years in Iraq. Most think that money is the only reason us contractors come over here and stay, but there is also a huge sense of responsibility to my troops that is a part of me still being here.

So
Freedom, no matter which freedom it is, is not the reason that veterans fought and soldiers continue to fight? I have a right to be free to chose what I say and how I live because of the soldiers of this country. Call me an ahole all you want.
There seems to be some sort of personal bias based towards me at the moment like I am an Un-American prick for stating my belief. Doc, I am sorry you feel the way you do, but your fredoms are protected by the men and women of the US Armed Forces, not by your computer at home. I don’t believe I am sadly mistaken at all.

I wasn't smacking you around
All I am saying is this. Do you think you can charge an enemy position because you want someone to have freedom? No, we do it because we are ordered to, and because the quicker we kill the bastages on the other side the quicker we can go home and get laid. We kill to keep them from killing us. to stop them from killing our friends.
Did I worry about dying? No, I was already dead in my own mind. Who would give a (I have to watch my language) care about someones freedom when they are already dead?
Thank you for your thanks and respect I was not trying to put you down, but until you “die”(stop caring about dying) it is hard to understand.
Now I am going back to my usual carefree and joking self.

The soldiers have the most jacked up sense of humor from being around a bunch of dudes all the time. Most of them don’t care, it’s not that big of a deal. If they walked around being serious about everything every moment of their lives they wouldn’t make it through the day. IMO it’s going to be the people that haven’t served that make a giant deal out of this.
Shoot you should see the targets they set up when they are bored, the crazy things they do to keep from going crazy. That picture is just a joke.

The text looks a little too clear to me.
I guess I can understand the anger of those who detest OBL and that they believe this is
crossing a line,however the whole tweeting episode has just got boring to me. Darren
wrapping himself in the Stars and stripes and vowing to rip off helmets etc is just silly.
This is the NFL not WWF or whatever that “wrestling” show is called now.
