Listen. If one guy says something stupid, and the other guys cracks him, I'd say that guy flew off the handle.

BUT, if you say something, the guy says something back, and now YOU smack him???? I think that makes you an absolute two-faced pussy!

You felt it was ok to run your mouth, but when he does it, you wanna hit him?

:shrug:

That's my point.

We're all on the same page - hitting = bad; Oregon RB = pussy

yyz - you are so off base on assuming what I am saying.

My point seems to be missing you. If you talk shit and touch another man, you probably shouldn't completely let your guard down.

taoist - legal question: since the guy laid his hand on Blount outside of the game context, would he not have some kind of "self-defense" stance (no matter how much BS it is)?

Do you guys really think the punishment would be harsher if the races would be switched? that's insane.

Now maybe Jesse shows his head, but I don't think the punishment would be any different.

From what I saw I don't think that simply laying his hand on his shoulder would be enough to justify "self-defense," as he made no threatening gesture...at least not enough to justify jacking him up. I should probably watch it again before I say that, but that's what I remember. I'm sure that if he was prosecuted he would claim that he was threatened, hence self-defense, but I doubt any jury would buy that after watching the tape. :shrug:

I agree 100%, but you know how lawyers are...

He TOUCHED him! He didn't push him......didn't throw something at him......and damned sure didn't punch him! Again. You are justifying.

You can't keep saying I am missing your point, when your point is to, even in the smallest way, justify this guys actions.

The guy hit the other guy 'cause he was pissed, and can't hold his temper, not because the other guy "touched" him.

No. That was to fire up the crowd, and it worked.

Still missing it, but that's okay.

Just a final thought - Do you know if he killed the guy with his punch and then killed 60,000 other Boise fans in that stadium . . . . he still couldn't have been suspended any more games

What if the Duck's make a "Bowl Game"?

Say the "Hawaiian Punch Bowl".

Would he still be suspended :shrug:

My last effort on this tired subject.

Dawg, are you aware that Blount ran his mouth first? The other kid's post game shoulder tap was after that?

If you do know this, that's fine, and we just see things from different views.


I'll just make sure if we are at an MJs Super Bowl Party, I don't taunt you if you back the wrong team.
