The pic with the article would be declared ‘Fake News’ by most people after seeing the video of the hit. Right where the arrow is between the two circles is where the defender’s top side of his helmet blasts the receiver’s earhole. Based on the defender’s thug life history.... Bailiff!
Don’t get me wrong, there are plenty of issues with the referees to go around. This just isn’t one of them.
Agreed. That was a vicious and unnecessarily dangerous hit, and it isn’t the first time this player has done it.
Thank you for confirming what I suspected when I saw the photo. I wasn’t going to get sucked into yet another clickbait article teasing some sensational video, so I didn’t see it,but the two frames in the photos are too far apart and completely omit showing the actual hit. Why bother going through the trouble of doing that when one from a respectable hit would easily make your case... unless you are trying to be fallacious or fraudulent?
I’m glad I didn’t give them that click.
Agreed!
He targeted his neck area.
Lucky the GB receiver isn’t a quadriplegic!
“The pic with the article would be declared ‘Fake News’ by most people after seeing the video of the hit.”
Agreed! I watch little NFL - but was watching that game. That was not a legit hard hit by the defender. It was dirty.
The only thing possibly dirtier is the selective use of still frames to make it appear as though it was not dirty.
Who was the Bengals and Raiders LB ... Vontaze Burfict?! That guy was going to kill someone eventually.
That was pretty much a crown of the helmet hit. Going to get called every time. The 4-game suspension seems a little harsh. Did this guy have history?
