I said quite correctly that the Saints do not respect the team's running game, not that they 'disrespect' it. You may not appreciate the difference but for the benefit of those that do please do not misquote me.

[Arky]

TJ sacked. 3rd and 15 coming up.

Delay to Grimes only gets about 4. Texans to punt. 15 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.

Punt is not fielded and rolls all the way to the Saints 28. Saints ball.

From Dictionary.com...

dis·re·spect   /ˌdɪsrɪˈspɛkt/ Show Spelled[dis-ri-spekt] Show IPA
noun
1. lack of respect; discourtesy; rudeness.


The very first meaning of disrespect is lack of respect. For example, if I said I lacked respect for the meaning of your above post, that is the same as if I disrespected your post.

[Arky]

You initially misquoted me employing as a verb a word I had not used and now you try to justify it by relaying a definition of that word as a noun.

As I said, in deference to anyone who knows and cares about language please do not misquote me.

Yes, chuck, your concern is clearly for language on this one.

From dictionary.com...

verb (used with object)
1.****to regard or treat without respect; regard or treat with contempt or rudeness.

There is no way you can say they showed no respect but did not disrespect.

But it's clearly not about language. The texans offense showed no respect for the saints defense tonight. And the backside defensive end staying home twice on completed passes did not so much as slow the texans.
