The 'Mama Rule': What's fair and foul with NFL trash-talking

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- When it comes to trash-talking, Jacksonville Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey considers himself an expert.

He'll call opposing players soft. He'll tell them their career is over. He'll tell them their stats, especially if they're not very good. He'll pretty much say anything he can think of to get under their skin. He'll be funny, then he'll be serious.

But he won't be personal. That's his limit.

Ramsey trash-talked receiver A.J. Green pretty much nonstop last Sunday during the first half of the Jaguars' game against Cincinnati at EverBank Field, but he did not say anything derogatory about Green's family.
