Guy is a FUCKING idiot. Why would you punch somebody WITH a helmet on?

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Not surprisingly, mullet head Jeff Fisher defended him, then hopped in his Camaro Z28 and went home.

 

[MRN]

Fighting with pads and helmets on is just fucking retarded. Unless you slip in a kimora, then there fucked. :smug:

Shit like this happens in training camps on a yearly basis.

But c'mon, Blount has to be playing under a different set of rules. He has to know better. Clearly he's an angry guy with some mental issues.

 

[Sigona]

This only makes headlines cause of who is it. The media is dumb. Go on youtube and you see pages of fights at training camp with helmets on. Blount wasn't even looking for shit, Bakhtiari started flapping his gums.

So you have never been apart of a football scuffle an threw punches at guys with helmemts on. You see this all the time

Of course.

However this is the guy that punched out somebody without a helmet on and got suspended 90% of the season for it.

He should be lucky he even got a chance in the NFL, only to display the same type of shit that almost lost his dream to play pro ball.

Why cause he did something stupid on National TV in college. That stunt cost him millions. He is no longer in college new start and again. Training camp fights happen all the time from high school to pro. Only making news cause of what he did in college.

Yeah, obviously. All the more reason this knucklehead should be avoiding taking swings at peoples skulls. Not only is he a hothead who can't control his violent temper, he's also a fucking moron who doesn't learn from mistakes. Once is a mistake, twice is a pattern.

You guys will bend over backwards to defend these players sometimes. Lagarrette Blount is the kind of guy who ends up in prison before he's 30, because people like Jeff Fisher enable his thug behavior.

 

[Warner2BruceTD]

Of course.

Agreed.

Its like if Pacman Jones got into another strip club brawl, and people defended it by saying, "people get into strip club brawls all the time, the media is only making a big deal because its Pacman Jones."

Um, yeah, that's exactly why its a big deal. Because its Legarrette Blount.

 

[Atlas]

I swear it sad the guy he punched had just "ripped" his helmet off during the play, and then pushed him right before Blount retaliated... This is just another case of people trying to blow shit out of proportion... Much more egregious fights happen on a daily basis, and if his last name isnt Blount, this doesnt even make the local news in Nashville...

 

[Senser81]

I agree he should be lucky to have the chance to play in the NFL, but he is also fighting for a position on the team. You dont let someone just rip you're helmet off and then push you on the ground and disrespect you like that. The guy that did it is probably no more than a camp body trying to make his name for himself.

 

[FirstTimer]

Agreed.

To my knowledge Blount has never been in any legal trouble or the like. Consitantly showing up on the police blotter =/= to punching a guy in college after a game and getting into a tussle at training camp.

Blount's obviously not perfect but comparing him to Pacman is a bit harsh..and a bit of a stretch.

...except its Legarrette Blount, so it is news. Because he has a habit of punching people in the head.

If he does. It a third time, will we still be making excuses? He's a clown.

I Didn't compare him to Pacman, but the reason this is news is because he's a repeat offender of cracking guys in the dome.

If you've been arrested for shoplifting, you don't steal candy from the bin at the grocery store. Blount isn't very smart.

Ok...but comparing Blount doing something in the heat of a moment twice..and the second one being absolutley no big deal regardless of who is doing it...is a HUGE stretch in comparing the "repeat" aspect of it to Pacman who's clown tendancies are off the field, not in the heat of the moment, and have resulted in police action.

 

[Kuzzy Powers]

Looks like more of a Bas Rutten style open handed palm strike to me.

You're right, Blount is an idiot. He has problems and was getting suspensions at Oregon before the whole Boise incident.

This is still an overblown story, out of all the things he's done wrong this is by far the tamest. I don't understand all the fake outrage over something so common.

I dont even really disagree with any of this, but I don't agree with simply blowing this off as a non story when its a guy who has the history that he has. It's a legit story, and not a run-of-the-mill training camp scrap, because it's Blount. He shouldnt be suspended or anything, but clearly this isnt a good sign.
