Cockiness?

I have been getting sick and tired of people in sports calling the Brewers and Cavaliers cocky. These are two young teams who love to play and are having fun doing it.

First I will break down the Cavaliers and how they are not cocky. Led by Lebron James the Cleveland Cavaliers had one best regular season's in recent history. They won the most home games in the history of the NBA, part of that was the confidence that they had going into each game. With their crowd behind them, they were a lovable team that you could tell was having a great time playing. They had more enthusiasm to play the game then any team I can remember in recent history. People would have problems with them because of the dances they did before the game or not taking the game serious enough. I disagree with this critics because it was this fun attitude that helped them win and it never showed up the other team. With a pregame dance ritual as long as it isn't in the face of the other team I don't think their should be such a fuss over it.

The Brewers are another young team with a passion for the game. They believe in each other and love comign to the ball park everyday. One of the biggest misconceptions of what they do is after the game when they untuck their shirts. People think it is showing up the other team when in fact it is to show respect to Mike Cameron's father. Cameron is the Brewers' leader and has un-tucked his jersey after victories since the beginning of his career. It's a tribute to his father, a blue collar worker who would untuck at the end of a hard days work. His teammates in Milwaukee picked it up, and made it a team thing. This is a silly thing to call them cocky about. It just seems like many times national commentators or opposing managers call this a cocky, brash group of guys and I just get annoyed by it. Anytime Ryan Braun watches his homerun, he is so arrogant. But Albert Pujols watches every homerun until the fan who caught it is done celebrating; and nobody says anything.

But that's just my TWO CENTS FROM THE NOSE BLEEDS
