Exactly. I don’t know if many Eagles fans will say it, but I will. That guy might have been being an absolute asshole.
Best overall would be to ignore, but I have no issue going and jawing. If that was indeed contact that’s the line as far as the league goes.
It will be absolutely litigious. It just shouldn’t be.
“Appears” to shove.
Just saying it wasn’t clear that he made contact with the fan. If there is another angle that the league can see that shows it he needs to be sat down a bit. That’s a no doubter.
But all I see is the fan jump back a little. Could be contact. Could just be a flinch from Phillips and the fan stepping back. Can’t say for sure.
As a lawsuit goes (if there was contact)…meh. Stupid. Player should never make contact. Let league handle. Fan was clearly instigating. As a lawsuit goes, just meh.
There was a time (not long ago) when an NFL broadcast would say something (twice even) and it’s not in doubt. It’s fact.
That’s…not the case anymore.
NFL broadcasts have become as sloppy and stupid as the rest of media….all to generate drama in a sport that DOESNT NEED DRAMA CREATED.
All of that fucking fluffing of a team….no wonder Eagles hate is higher than ever.
Good. He’s not the mvp candidate anymore.
All is good.
Off the headline I was coming in to say you aren’t the only one.
On reading further I see we aren’t talking the same thing.
I hate the kickoff and have for a very long time. It’s a stupid and pointless play. It was grossly dangerous so they whipped up the rules that has turned it safer, but even more pointless.
I will always think the best idea is no more kickoffs. Team gets ball at the 25. Every time. That’s not grossly off what we have now.
Obviously punting should stay the same as that fluid field positioning. But kickoffs can and should fuck off. It really wouldn’t change any dynamics and would just take an annoying and pointless part of the game away.
Simple. Don’t fix it, kill it.
That was a super big deal regular season game. It was utterly hyped up.
