It made news not only because of the splash but because an arrogant loud-mouthed showboat did the splashing. And while he probably didn't intentionally target a specific child, it wouldn't surprise me to know that he did in fact mean to hit the fans behind him. Of course, splashing water is still no big deal, but it is rather unusual for players to start chunking things at the people in the stands. :-)
The stupidest thing I saw him do yesterday was veer away from a sure touchdown simply to try to run through two defenders to prove he could. He didn't score on that play. They did score a couple plays later, but I wonder what his coach and teammates would've thought of that move if they hadn't?
