Your location says Sweden. Did you fly into the TC to attend the game?
Where in Sweden?
Travelled to the US specifically for the game(but did some vacationing as well, incl Nashville for that game).
People tend not to believe me but I'm actually a season ticket holder

Let me know if you want to sell some tickets
The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018

Yooteborg? Nice. Beautiful city. One of my friends did his PhD there and I got to visit him in your fair city before going to his wedding up in Ostersund and then over to Stockholm. Loved it all!
Sorry Jim. I knew I was pushing the limits by using that phrase to make a point, and as a moderator I know you've got to say something. IrishViking claimed not to understand why people would take offense to being spoken to that way, so I thought if I spoke to him that way he'd get it. I'm normally better mannered and I won't do it again.

Haha, sorry didn't mean to squash on your sour grapes.
Seriously though, don't be a dick.
Why am I being a dick when I speak that way to you while Boone can say the same thing to the fans and you don't understand why they take offense? You didn't even buy me a stadium!

Honestly if you had said that to me and 63490 of my closest friends at the same time too I wouldn't have cared haha

Glad you liked it here. Sweden ain't too bad, a bit cold perhaps

Well you might be somewhat rare in that way. My opinion is that Boone is acting a lot more super entitled speaking to people who pay his salary that way than they are for wanting common courtesy. Either way it hardly matters, Boone's statement was a PR gaffe which probably won't amount to much. Cheers

I didn't think Boone played bad... Kalil gave up two sacks and Fusco had the second worst night IMO.
Smith actually has improved since the most since the preseason games IMO.
I think making a statement like that is dumb, but I could myself saying something like that if
I was frustrated.

Reminds me of that joke where the teacher does the math on how much each kids family contributed to his salary, paid them the pennies it was, and proceeded to cuss them out.
I get the gist of what you are saying
But a professional is upset because a bunch of people made his job harder and may have contributed to a false start or two and says
"Shut the #### up"
and the response is
"No you shut the #### up you entitled #### we pay your salary, can you believe he swore at us? What a piece of ####"
Hey, its a free country, you get upset about what you want to get upset about.
