I guess it's a good thing I'm not a zebra... FSU QB Shoves Zebra If I'm officiating and a kid does this, I'm throwing a flag and possibly ejecting him from the game. Surely there's something in the rules about shoving a ref!
he'll be in prison where he belongs within the next 3 years. The narcissist's jaw is going to hit the ground when he goes undrafted because of the character risk that he is, and then once a nobody, a continued life of committing crimes will catch up. If the best running back in the league gets tossed aside for what he did, I just cant see a team risking the public scorn, nor the very real risk of wasting a top pick, for drafting this piece of trash
I suspect you are correct regarding the draft, or at least close. He may go as a late pick, some team hoping they can make him grow up a little... but I doubt he'll last.
Contacting an Official ARTICLE 4. Persons subject to the rules shall not intentionally contact a game official forcibly during the game. PENALTY—Administer as a dead-ball foul. 15 yards from the succeeding spot. Automatic first down for fouls by Team B if not in conflict with other rules. Automatic disqualification [S7, S27 and S47].
I'm completely perplexed as to why nothing was called. And the announcers just laughing? When is it ever okay to purposely make contact with a referee? Is there something more to this story?
Naw, he's better than Leaf...aw, Hell, I'M better than Leaf...at least before I had a shoulder replacement and aged to nearly 70...heh..:highly_amused::devilish:
I thought what he did was wrong, but I cannot fault the guy for showing some sense of urgency in trying to win a game. That was a sign of a team player--even though he could have gotten a flag. If it wasn't Jameis, I doubt we even her about this.
I remember an NFL game when Walter "Sweetness" Peyton was ejected. He ran toward an official to protest a call, and accidentally tripped and fell toward the official and put his hands on him to stop his fall. Ejected.
