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 strato · Posted

      I am gonna believe it wasn’t us if the 4th round pick price is accurate. We needed 225 points to get from 19 to their pick. 875 at 19 to 1100 at 14.  Our 2026 4th was valued at 56 points I think. A future 4th has less value. So that wasn’t close to enough.    It would have taken our third and our fourth. Comes within a point of even.    Now, moving to their spot in the second round we could have done but after Miami took Rodriguez why would we?

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By Zaximus · Posted

      I mean it's expected.  This is the NBA.  And they hate the Charlotte Hornets.  Flagg was also the guy "magically" given to the Mavs who lost Luca to the wildly popular Lakers.  Was always an uphill battle.  But the award is BS since it's not voted on before play-in starts. Kon probably lost because of the play-in as many people switched votes.  It was a regular season award, so this is some nonsense.  Kon also didn't have the luxury of taking 10 games off to rest up injuries like Flagg did.  If he did, he wouldn't have been nursing his back the last month.  I mean, screw him for being on an actual playoff team that matters.  Flagg took tons of shots a game, he was wildly inefficient.  Kon was a huge reason the Hornets made the play-in and turned the season around after Jan.   I think Flagg will probably be the better player long term, or at least the most impact.  But Kon should have won ROTY.
