This is why I don't mind Allen trash talking. When he is beat, he is man enough to come out and say so. Class.

Allen didn't alibi and claim he was held a number of times.
"No, I didn't think there was too much holding," Allen said. "[Packers offensive tackle Chad] Clifton is a good player. He was in the Pro Bowl for a reason, and he's athletic, but I don't think there was too much holding. There was a lot of chips, a lot of double-teams, a lot of people cutting me from different angles, and I took a pretty big thigh bruise on that goal-line play. But other than that, like I said, you've got to go out and create your own opportunities sometimes. So I'm just back to work, back to the field. You're going to have those games, and we'll come out and be better this week."

So basically the Vikes got outcoached and outplayed.
It's nice that he's eating humble pie, but he wouldn't be saying this[about clifton] if the Vikings won and Allen actually, ya know, did something.
It would be all "Told ya" and "Vikings will win the division" or other ludicrous Vikings crazy talk like they've been doing the last two months.Sorry if I don't throw Jared Allen a parade.

You mean like the stuff the Packers and their entourage have been saying?
http://www.packershome.com/index.php?name=ForumsPro&file=viewtopic&t=1621 Why is OK for the Pack to do it after a win, but when a Vikings comes out and gives props where props is due, he is still a horrible person.
Talking trash before a game is part of the game. Talking trash
after a win is being a poor winner.

You realize Leroy Butler hasn't played in years and is a documented piece of $#!T, right?
Do you bash the current Bears players\fans when Mike Ditka gets drunk and says something crazy?
Allen isn't a horrible person, just an overrated player who got what he had coming to him, and thats 0's across his stat line. They play the Colts this week, right? They have Oline issues, maybe he'll get a sack or a tackle this week.
For the record, while most people here are awesome and play nice, I do not. I'm the guy who dresses you down and tells you how things work. I like that you changed your sig though. Another prediction by Nostra
