Guys, let's get one thing straight, I'm not a "die-hard" LSU fan. Do I root for LSU? Sure, but I'm nowhere near being as big of a fan of them or of college football in general as I was when I was a kid.
I actually thought OBJ was a bit overrated coming out of college and didn't really start admiring his skills until he started doing what he's done in the NFL.
And they were both within the rules. Nothing dirty about it. OBJ gave him a totally blindsided fully loaded helmet to helmet hit. It was about as much of a dirty, pussy move that someone could do, other than cutting his knees from the side intentionally.
Dude, this all started with Norman body slamming OBJ when the play was over very early in the game.
Aw wittle baby who everyone fawns over didn't get his way? Got roughed up a little? So then he gets to blindside someone outside of the rules? fuck that.
He fought back. Dez Bryant would have cried to the refs, OBJ fought back. I'll take someone who fights back any day.
The NFL literally altering the entire way the game is played certainly backs up this claim
Please answer me why Adam Jones wasn't suspended?
As a
SAINTS FAN I can't
BELIVE you could type this
It's still true. Those suspensions came three years after the fact, which is what pissed me off so hard to begin with (not to mention that the Saints were completely innocent).
Says the die hard LSU fan
You're better off playing the Fantasy card. I really need OBJ if I make the championship game this week.
By sheer luck alone, and the fact that OBJ hits like a pussy.
Still wasn't worse than what Pacman did, and no one was still injured.
No one started calling him "dirty" til he shut down every golden boy diva WR in the league. Before, he just talked a lot of shit and had great physical skills. Funny how the narrative changed once he started killing everyones favorite playmakers.
What? Dude, this is JOSH NORMAN, the same guy who took cheapshots at Cam Newton during camp. Cam kicked his ass and shut it down, but who the fuck takes cheapshots at their superstar teammate?
That said, I can't help but wonder if your stance would be the same if it were an Alabama or Auburn player taking a cheap shot at an LSU player. Or a Falcons player going after a Saints player. OBJ is an LSU alumni after all... Being that your profile states you're from Baton Rouge, it's hard to not assume that's a factor.
I defend Cam Newton regularly to my friends and family whenever they bitch about his celebrations and showmanship. And I hate the Panthers way more than I do Auburn.
Let's say if this was Megatron who did this instead of OBJ against a Packers player, I still strongly believe I would be on Megatron's side.
