Cheap Shot
« on: December 20, 2004, 12:33:47 PM »
if you didn't see the game i posted a picture of the incident.

i for one am appaled someone would do something like this in a game. not just because of it being my team, this kind of hit should be grounds for explusion from the league permanently. you can kill someone like that.

thank God the feeling has come back to robert ferguson's legs, but other than that there is no local news yet.



there was a local report of the jaguars players saying it was a legal, and clean hit, and they stand by their player. who in there right mind would support a player that does this?


i hope he gets hit by a bus and dies a horrible painful slow death.


I don't know what to put here yet.

I watched it and there was no way in hell it wasn't on purpose.

To me it looked like a very cheap shot.

He should miss some games and get a large fine at the very least.

Notice I never said a better man.

Darius brings the wood that's for sure. I've seen worse though. Jack Tatum would make Darius look like a ***** :lol

Ouch. I haven't seen a cheapshot like that since Sapp stuck that guy in the playoffs 2 years ago when the ball wasn't anywhere close.

Most rookie recivers and even vets are afraid to catch a pass from Farve.

That shot was cheap. And I might add that the jaguar players were also pissed at whats his face for the stunt he pulled.

The thing that amazes me still is the fact the ferguson held on to the dam ball even after he hit the ground and rolled over twice.

Amazing.

The pack had a bad night. They are my team. I love them. Farve had four interceptions, altho one should have been a completion. Jaguars played the game harder and faster is all. Sucks because I always like to see a southern team freeze to death on the frozen tundra. They handled themselves quite well... Up until the attempted beheading. Then I just hated all of them even more.


Edit: I remember Sapp from the bucaniers used to be an animal on the feild. He never got this bad, but he was very agressive... He stood out.

I suppose Jack Lambert, Dick Butkus, and Lawrence Taylor  should be on Death Row? What a bunch of candyarses the NFL is today. They should just make them all keep a pair of pink silk panties hanging out of their pants and play flag football.

My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

Sapp is/was an animal on the field. Been my starting DT for a few years across the various video games :) Basically, he hammered Clifton from the Packers, and did a dance celebrating the hit. Ended up putting the guy in the hospital. I think it was partly misunderstanding, if he'd known he'd almost crippled the guy, he wouldn't have been dancing... but he didn't need to try to maim somebody that had no influence on the play either, even if it was a legal hit.

What's wrong with that? You are supposed to have contact in "football", right?

You are. It's a question of sportsmanship though. It's not smiled upon when you put people in the hospital.

Used to be called a "clothesline"  and was definately illegal. Lots of guys seriously hurt like that.
