Like the enthusiasm but poor choice of words. C'mon Mike. We're better than that.

Let me be the first to write what many are thinking....
But Mike, you guys have been choking for a month.
You have to be close to a person to choke him....
let's remember this guy isn't an engish major, his job is to destroy people, i am sure he's not a 4.0 average kind of guy, I like the fire and it came out how it came out...I don't think he needs to reaally apologize for anything.
Other than his and his teams play......
Daniels has shown on the field that he plays hard and makes plays. I think he feels the defense is quitting and needs to be more aggressive. Plus, he has got to be frustrated with his team in general.
I don't think he literally wants to choke or punch throats. He is using a figure of speech. Unfortunately, the politically correct bunch will have something to go after.
In his mind he was probably thinking "we don't need to choke".
Fart will chock. Oh Lionheart, were are you?
Can't fault Daniels in his play or his choice of words, he's passionate and wants to win, nothing wrong with that.
And he wants to get paid.

There are times when retribution for dirty play is not only warranted, I expect it!
Any time ARod takes a head/cheap shot, this is what I want to see:

He sounds pissed off and embarrassed and he/they should be. It's about time somebody showed some emotion on that D. Nothing wrong with that. You can play with those emotions and not resort to cheap shots. Wish that kind of attitude would have surfaced weeks ago.
Nothing positive about what he said. Now stripes will be that much quicker to throw a flag on him. Plus this defense is in desperate need of "actions not words." Just make the tackles and this won't be a problem.
As for the play he complained about The helmet-to-helmet hit he’s talking about came from Lions LB DeAndre Levy, who knocked a Green Bay player out of the game Thursday with the blow. I watched the game with family, so I couldn't rewind the DVR like I do at home, but I didn't think that was a particularly dirty play. Those passes over the middle can be murder anyway, and I don't expect linebackers covering space to run away when a receiver is coming right at him to catch a quick pass. I know "defenseless receiver" and such, but sometimes collisions happen and it doesn't make them all dirty.
I think his words were words of frustration vs suggesting they litterally going out and start punching players in the throat.At least that's how I took it. For sure he could have worded things differently but who hasn't said something stupid while being pissed off, frustrated, embarassed etc .
I thought the hit to the head (Taylor was it?) was unintentional.
Hyperbole.
I don't think he intends his words to be taken literally. I have no problem with what he said.
If Levy were saying that, Packer fans would be up in arms that this "punk" would say such stupid stuff.
I hope the coaches get on him, that doesn't need to be shared with the media in that way, frustrated or not.
I get what you are saying and if he starts going out and litterally punching guys in the throat, cheap shotting etc then yes, it becomes a problem to say the very least. Until then, it's just another player flapping his gums.
The Packers have been choking. What they need to do is tackle.
Speaking of Levy, after the game in the locker room he was gloating about how he "despises" the Packers and was going to really enjoy Packer fans' disappointment back home in Milwaukee over the holiday. Since it was undoubtedly my (and your) tax dollars that paid for his (questionable) "education" at UW and who-knows-what prior to college, I REALLY am offended at his comments. I don't know anything about the Levy family (assuming there is one with all the usual members intact), but I hope he gets what he serves - soon!
If Levy were saying that, Packer fans would be up in arms that this "punk" would say such stupid stuff.
I probably would not have posted if Levy stated that.
They're football players, not wordsmiths. To my knowledge, Daniels doesn't have a reputation of dirty plays, questionable hits or penalties or "spouting off to the media" about the game. If he did, my opinion may be different.
Much ado of nothing.
