I don't buy the explanation. It was uncalled for.
I figured that’s was what he was doing.................
If it was bad for Meyer, it’s bad for Arians.
Yeah, I wouldn’t want to play for him either.
Who cares?
I quit watching professional sports
years ago.
It is like watching “Wrassling”.
bring back the old game and teams
like the 60’s Raiders, or REDSKINS, I might consider.
“I don’t buy the explanation. It was uncalled for.”
I buy it. The player was facing off with an oppnent.
“uncalled for.”
What a sissified nation we become. All the coach was doing was preventing a Personal Foul. The player looked like he was going to jump into the fray.
That was a love tap on the helmet, the player barely felt it. Compared to the hits a professional player takes, it wasn’t even a mosquito bite. Pushing the player from the refs was smart.
Grow up!
Really? Is this what we are getting upset about nowadays? It was nothing. Let’s move on America.
Can’t have an Aryan beating a black man.
It was indeed kind of bizarre. But it was complicated also. The coach, not a player, but the coach, Arians, had an injured Achilles and was wearing an icepack on his ankle. So he had been limping and was not normally mobile. Early in the game we thot he must be drunk the way he was staggering, until later we saw the explanation. So he looked clumsy as the dickens trying to pull back Adams. So I guess the best he could do was swing——something. And Adams was being a dumbass trying to pull an Eagle out of a scrum. That’s a 15 yard penalty, so, yeah, I gotta give the coach a little slack on that one.
But then, it’s like Bidumb. He’s not really the coach: Brady is.
Wait. He slapped the guy on the helmet with his hand?
Horrors! Did the poor victim survive such a vicious assault? The coach better be arrested. Next thing you know he’ll tap someone on the shoulder pad.
Oh puhleeze. The dude made a bad decision that could have been a 15 yard penalty. The Coach was adjusting his ‘tude.
“ What a sissified nation we become. All the coach was doing was preventing a Personal Foul. The player looked like he was going to jump into the fray.”
That’s what I saw too. The player was getting ready to go gangster and min 15 yard penalty and max ejection. The coach saved his dumb ass 🤪
Exactly. I recall Woody Hayes grabbing a players face mask for far less of an infraction. But, Woody was a bit off his rocker in later years.
And "roughing the passer"? It should be renamed "roughing the pu**y. QBs today don't know what "roughing the passer" is compared to old school football.
Completely agree. That didn’t even come close to the head slaps that teammates frequently trade when celebrating a great play. What a non-issue.
Yeah, because that slap on the helmet could have caused serious damage. /sarcasm
I agree. That was a small nudge and yet we have all these drama queens going coocoo over it.
“roughing the passer” is/should be like what LT did to Joe Theisman——just folded up his leg. And LT didn’t even get called for it.
Thinking it would have been better to add testosterone to the vaccine. It would have solved alot of problems.
