| Booing at Superbowl |
| 2007-02-05 |
| A Bears player named Muhammed seemed to be greeted with pretty loud boos when the team captains were introduced last night. I could not find a single article mentioning that this morning. Were they something other than boos or are we being treated to the silence of the journos? |

| #12 I remember Baltimore Orioles fans chanting "BOOOOOG" when Boog Powell came to bat. I kinda like Moooose! He's a good player, and appears not to suffer from Terrell Owens' Disease. He's been in two Super Bowls, and his team lost both times--hope he's not jinxed. |

| #11 There's always been a few players with names or nicknames like this that may appear to be getting booed, but the crowd is chanting "Moose", "Deuce" or even "Foo" (that last bit for Fuamatu-Ma'afala). The only time you can be sure the crowd is actually booing is when Terrell Owens is involved. :-) |

| #10 Being a Panther's fan, I can confirm, that they are saying MOOOOSE. I miss Mushin being a Panther. A good player and a genuinely good guy. My dad asked if he was a Muslim last night, I don't know, but it seems the NFL superstar lifestyle is the antithesis of a muslim lifestyle so I would guess not. If he is, I bet it's in name only. Kind of like, I'm a catholic, but haven't been to a mass in years. |

| #9 When Bledsoe was up here, he used to think it was "Dreeeeeewwwwwww". Actually, it was "Booooooooooooo". I think he had it figured out by the time he left Buffalo... |

| #8 Gosh, and to hear concern like this at RB. It would just warm the left's hearts. LOL |

| #7 Bears fans would have liked to hear a lot more "Mooing" and it usually follows any play better than a first down that Mushin is involved in. |

| #6 When Mike Mussina pitched for the O's, you'd hear a lot of Mooooooooos too. |

| #5 They were discussing this over at Hot Air, but that article has over two hundred comments, so you'll have to do a find on "boo". Short answer is the same that Slinesing Angomolet1065 and Spot gave. But you weren't hallucinating, if it's any comfort. |

| #4 They were yelling Moooooo for Muhsin. Just like Mooooo for movers. |

| #3 SA1065 is right - they yell "Moose" when he makes a play. |

| #2 Something other than boos. Muhammed's first name is Muhsin, pronounced "Mooooooooooosin" by your average losing Bears fan. Go Colts! |

| #1 And yet the 'Suicide Bomber' of the game was named Rex! |
