Most of the videos of this incident that are being shown on enemedia web sites are deliberately NOT including Lynch's sprint off the bench to confront the ref...just the clinch itself.

Let me tell you, Marshawn came off that bench with a sprint that changed into a full-blown charge. If someone that size was coming at me with that speed I would have been in the next county in two seconds.

The video at the top of this thread shows the charge in full.....thank you for posting it, Artichoke.

"Let me tell you, Marshawn came off that bench with a sprint that changed into a full-blown charge."

That's the difference between baseball and football.

In a bench-clearing brawl, the players are expected to get up and scrap with the other team.

In fact, it's considered bad form if you DON'T join in, as you will be ostracized by your teammates. (This happened to George Foster once, when he refused to fight)

But you still don't touch the ump.

Here is another animal.

Lynch came from the sidelines and accosted the ref.

Not only tossed, he should be suspended and fined.

Not a thousand dollars, but in the neighborhood of six figures, and he should be DQ'd for several games.

Unsure why this is one difference between football and baseball.

Maybe it has something to do with the sheer size and power of football players.

Or maybe baseball is more gentlemanly, IDK.
