Ever been ejected from a sports game?

I mean this in the playing sense. I'm sure many more of you have been ejected from viewing a sporting event as well...but this is for those of us who have been kicked out of a game.

I got ejected from a school basketball game in the 8th grade. We were playing our biggest rivals and the game was tight. I was a bench player but I got a fair amount of playing time. It was early in the 4th quarter and I was guarding their best player (who was just killing us that game) and our coach was throwing everybody at him and seeing who could stick with him. He tried to juke around me with a fake and I caught an elbow right in the face and went down. I popped right back up and got into the face of the guy I was guarding because I thought he elbowed me to get around me. He pushed me away then I threw him to the ground and got ejected. Once I got to the bench...coach told me I got hit in the face by a guy setting a pick and didn't even get the right guy. Wasn't my best moment.

Not since Jr. High. Football bounced off of an opposing players helmet, I ended up with it. I lumbered into the end zone and threw the ball into the stands! Followed by an IMMEDIATE ejection from the ref. Rules state that you "Politely hand the ball to the nearest Referee upon scoring a Touch Down. Failure to do so, will require an immediate ejection from the game."

On top of that we lost the game. I was in the dog house for an entire week!

I got DQ in a amature boxing fight when I was 15, dude hit me with elbow between my head gear busting my lip, I was told by the ref don't retaliate.

I let 2 rounds go by before I got sick of tasting my own blood and rage got the better of me not being very experienced at the time, I didn't know how to throw an elbow and make it look accidental, mine was sloppy and obvious and the ref knew what I was doing, I was DQ.

I played baseball growing up as well as football.

I was the Shortstop/Closer in baseball. Safety/QB in football.

During one of my HS baseball games some kid slid spikes up into second and hyper extended my knee and cut it pretty bad because of the metal spikes. I clearly threatened him that if I were to come into the game to pitch he would be toast, which the umpire had to hear.

Sure enough we are up 1 and I come in to pitch. Guy on deck is guy who spiked me. First guy flies out. The guy comes up and he knows I'm going to hit him. He's standing there with his bat on his shoulder not even attempting to look ready. First pitch? Down the middle strike one. Second Pitch? Down the middle strike two. Now he's ready to hit because he thinks I'm all talk. Third Pitch? Hit him right in the ribcage with a fastball and he dropped. When he got up he was talking sh*t and I wasn't gonna back down. Dugouts cleared but nothing happened other than me telling him I was gonna fug his girl that night. I was then ejected and suspended by our school district for the next game.

(Saw that kid at a party that weekend and a 20 on 20 brawl erupted, he played the next game with two black eyes while I laughed and talked sh*t from the bench)

I got ejected form a football game in HS because I was the personal protector on punts as well as the QB (and Safety) so I took a lot of cheap shots. Guy came in, knocked me on my ass, and my helmet came off so he dropped a knee on me and my eye was swollen shut. I missed a few series but came back later in the game. On another punt they had a return set up and me and two buddies went head hunting for this guy. He knew I was coming after him but didn't look for my buddies. They blindsided him so bad he went flying on his ass and I may or may not have hit him when he was down then stepped on his gut while getting up. Another scuffle ensued and I was tossed as was he. No suspension this time though.

I hit a game winning 3 pointer in high school against a team that was in the running for state title talks. All of a sudden theres a foul on the opposite end of the court 5 seconds after it sunk. i threw the ball at the refs face. He ejected me even though there was 0 seconds on the clock. FWIW the ball did connect very nicely to his face.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
