Yikes. Lock him up.

If he did it, yep.

But, he's going with the Karen defense.

Says he was targeted for his celebrity.

He's a regular sized guy that has been out of the league awile.

Don't know that a casual would recognize him.

Cameras all over the airport.

Should be easy to prove who's lying.

Odd that he was in a airport with a kid who has a restraining order of protection against him.

Good luck explaining that one.

How about this one? There is so much coverage of the current one that it takes time to get past all those stories...

Video: Bucs benefit from questionable roughing the passer on Tom Brady

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers got out to a fast start in their Wild Card game against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, and they benefitted from an early

The hit takes place well after Brady threw the ball, and the defender goes fairly low.

The hit with Atlanta was literally a sack.

My guess is that is the angle anyway, but man.

There really does need to be more regulations on camera people. Dude runs right in front of Devante out of nowhere hustling to get his shot.

Really shouldn’t have been there

If he isn’t on the field he is more in his territory than Adams is in my opinion. Adams was pissed about losing, we get it, but you can’t react like that.

The only reason anything was called on the Brady hit was the fact that he supppsedly slung him to the ground. Mahomes actually was slung to the ground, and harder than Brady, but no call on that one.

There's definitely inconsistencies, and I didn't see the Mahomes hit (I'm assuming he still had the ball, which would count as a sack). But before the Tua incident, have you ever seen that (flag for a routine sack)?

Back-tracking already. Fairly low? You mean the waist to thigh area, the only targetable area?

I'm not back-tracking at all. He goes fairly low - in terms of coming close to the knee, even though he hit the thigh, but this is just a minor note and likely not a factor. The call is subjective at that point with the hit, because Brady already released the ball, and that's likely where the roughing the passer call comes in.

The hit against Atlanta is different - Brady had the ball and was sacked, yet hit in a manner similar to Tua where he was whipped into the ground (didn't hit helmet on the ground ).

I disagree completely with the characterization of Brady being "whipped to the ground". He was sacked conventionally. Sure, he wasn't gingerly set on the ground and apologized to, but the hit wasn't violent in terms of QB hits.

That's my point. It was a text book sack (similar to Tua's sack that concussed him) and he got the benefit of a roughing the passer call - something he had never got before.

Devante Adams catching a misdemeanor assault charge.

I am sorry, but that seems ridiculous to me. Yes he pushed him. Yes I am fine with a short suspension.

But man. Of all the on field incidents I have seen that could rise to the level of criminality, this ain’t it.

Plus, he was trying to get off the field and the guy that got pushed kind of jumped in front of him and it looked like Adams kind of reacted to that.

Not saying the guy jumped in front of him intentionally, just seems more like unfortunate timing.

It was a split second reaction. The camera guy jumped in front of him and was real close. He wasn't there 1 second and the next he's right directly in front of him. He didn't really have time to assess and determine if it was a crazy fan or what.

Seems like a combo plate of unfortunate timing and a dude who thinks he just got a winning lottery ticket.

You see that shit with Ben Gordon?

Punched his son so hard in the face that the kid had to be hospitalized.


.....he did it in a airport.

The kid is 10.

That's the kinda shit you throw the book at.

Ex says its a lie.

Cameras should be able to sort this pretty quickly.

Ben Gordon's ex-girlfriend says former NBA player was targeted by a 'Karen' who recognized him

Exactly.

Unfortunate is the word.

It was the little kid running in front of the big kid and the big kid knocking him down.

Give the big kid a slap on the wrist, tell him he needs to be more careful and let’s move on.

It doesn’t work that way in the letigious world we live in. You went to keep what you got you don’t go around assaulting people. And assault is certainly not what I would call it, but it’s how the legal world does.

Oh, I get it.

But IMO, if you want to talk about which person’s actions are more indicative of flawed character in this instance…

I say it is the cameraman.

Suing over something like that is lame as hell.

Yeah, I agree.

I don't think the guy intentionally jumped in front of him.

But I do think he recognizes a potential payday.

 

[dtgold88]

He has multiple high draft picks tied up in the secondary and a dream scenario at DE and his defense sucks

He's kerry coombs running tuf borland for 4 years shitty

This was said last year as well and they became a top 5 unit by season's end.

No doubt there are issues, though. Very poor tackling and I'm more inclined to put that on players.

How long till Deshaun Watson requests a trade to the Giants to get the Darnay Holmes treatment?

LOL.

That camera man will never see the field again after this lawsuit.
