Excellent!
This would have terrible implications on so many levels it is almost impossible to believe that I am reading some of the posts here. The saddest is equating him to PacMan Jones-:skeptical:
Honestly, id be a little more concerned if this were going on in our team....
ESPN - Rutgers will not suspend QB Teel for throwing punch at teammate - College Football
DaddyMacIf you had an original thought that didn't involve kissing someone's else butt, or could understand context - it would be the biggest newsflash of the season. I'm sure 33 or Curt would love to sign an autograph for you, or to toss you their game jersey to go with your coca-cola.
I never compared LJ to PacMan Jones. I didn't compare anyone to Jones. I made a general comment about what our rash of personal fouls amount to - and that's breaking rules. Not "aggressive" or "intense". But rather penalties, yards lost and first downs. And the other half is that we seem to have a number of players with little interest in what effect their actions cost the team - just as long as they one-up the guy their going against or get their shot in. If you prefer I use TO, Chad Johnson or any other player - fine. But it sure as hell isn't analgous to Joe Montana, Jerry Rice or some better examples.
Enjoy your night.
really?Wow - you learned to use the font feature. How proud.
I didn't deny writing that. Never claimed to. The operative word being "acting" as in "behaving". As in "only about me". And I just explained that with a followup post.
Like I said, if you perfer I use somebody else - that's fine. Nobody meant to imply they live their lives footstep by footstep.
I know that's tough for you to comprehend (like most things).
Haven't got the cap off that coke yet, huh? No wonder you're so upset.
really?
You couldn't think of someone other than a guy that was suspended by the NFL for questionable off-field behavior? That included a shooting that paralyzed a bystander.
Yeah, it must be me-that is struggling with context.
I've got to say DaddyMac has so far won the

honestly, it seemed like he had something going on during the game. Something didn't seem right. It was almost like he was begging for a personal foul call a few times.
Plays I saw:
1) on the reverse by our receiver, LJ shoots across the field and hits the receiver (good solid hit) forcing the receiver out of bounds. Good play, except that our receiver (Ryan Wolfe) just got 12 yards and 1st down....that said it wasn't on LJ, he just came over and made the play....BUT, then he walks over the top of kneeling receiver, and after over him, he pushes his head down. Luckily Wolfe is the guy that speaks soft and carries a big stick...but totally uncalled for
2) The hit against Casey Flair, our other receiver. That one, I kinda understand and even the guys calling the game alluded to it. Flair is UNLV's leader in personal fouls and unsportsmanlike conduct penalties. He's the Jekyll to Ryan Wolfe's Hyde....Flair's super emotional and tries to get into people's head. If he wasn't on my team, I'd definitely not like him....but love him because he is. Flair, being from Alaska, has a chip on the shoulder...and UNLV fans are just excited that we've gone 4 games without an incident. That said, LJ should've found a more opportune time to get back at him. That was just a dumb penalty.
3) mind you, these 3 incidents were all on the same drive....the hit in the end zone....again, who's blocking LJ? Casey Flair...........but that hit was just flat out, a mindless, idiotic hit. There's still a line of sportsmanship in football, and hitting the starting QB of the other team 5 yards deep in the endzone, probably gets you tossed no matter what...even if he didn't have the other incidents that he did have.
....which brings me back to the original thought, what the heck was going on with this dude? One random, unconfirmed thought I had was that UNLV has 4 or 5 players from Cape Coral and Immokalee Florida, both about 2 hours from Clearwater, where LJ is from. Its possible there was a bit bantering between the two going back and forth, but who knows. I know Rodelin Anthony, one of our receivers from Florida, was doing a lot of downfield blocking...so its a possibility.....but who knows. The guy looked uncontrolled though if you watch this game again....its like he wasn't pulling any punches, he was blatantly taking his shots and letting the chips lie where they fell.
All this said, why would you even consider kicking him off the team for this one game? Young players sometimes make young player decisions. All this does is make you keep better tabs of him in the future, and put him on a shorter leash.
