HS Football Players Target Ref

Here's video of a Texas high school football game. Yes, it's really Texas and it's also pretty disturbing. On what is nothing more than an off-tackle running play, 1 defensive back drills the official from behind while a second one spears the official, leading with the helmet, while the official is on the ground. Sorry, but as far as I'm concerned, that kind of poo starts at the top and the team should forfeit the entire season. You're done, goodbye, go find something else to do with your football budget...

Evidently the ref had thrown out two of their teammates the ply before which I assume was the motivation.

Apparently the coach was livid when it happened which has led to speculation that this was a decision by the player and not an ordered hit.

If that is the case then the players should be charged to fullest extent of the law and barred from ever playing football again.  I disagree however with calls for the team to forfeit the season.  That punishes innocent people that had not part in the crime, and it was a crime.

If evidence comes out that the coach(s) ordered this then they too should face charges in addition to losing their jobs.

The NCAA is always punishing kids who had nothing to do with anything, like every time they levy sanctions against a team.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Lions were never going Freeling over Miller for the same reason we wouldn't have taken Miller had Freeling not been on the board. Miller is a career RT Lions have a hole at RT, we have a hole at LT. If we took Miller, it would have been for him to backup Moton until he retires and/or we release him, so the best case scenario is it would have been a wasted 1st round pick for at least 1, if not 2 years.  At least Freeling has a shot at playing this year without injury ahead of him, he absolutely can win the LT job if he earns it, but Miller would have never supplanted Moton this year unless he got hurt.

      The Carolina Huddle

      By Chaos · Posted

      What up y’all. I like threads like this where we can stroll down memory lane. I remember the insane amount of site traffic pre-crash when we signed Keyshawn Johnson, 06 I believe. Raging about the Cowboys Christmas Eve loss in 05 (Peppers touched that FG attempt as sure as Cotchery caught it). When I found the huddle I basically had a first born baby, now I’ve got one in college and one in high school. Life comes at you fast, but the Panthers and the Huddle has been a steady constant in my life for many years.  Those who have been here, y’all are cool with me any time any where.    Cheers, genitals!

      Where panthers draft ranked against Big Boards in 2023

      By MartyClemons · Posted

      This is a weird post since it wasn’t like we got A’s across the board. We needed a QB and got a consensus top 2 player at that position. (I was pretty vocal that Stroud should’ve been the guy but…)  I think this draft we generally got better value. I’m not particularly optimistic on BY but another year in this offense playing with TMac he really needs to be a consistently average QB at a minimum
