Brees face punch (1 Viewer)

And all we hear about all week is how rough poor Cam gets treated.

This is football. Who cares? Not long ago (before they started treating QBs like ballerinas) a little blood was common place.

you have no idea the grind ballerinas go through

You are absolutely right. We have a friend who did ballet for 20+ years, her feat look like a carnival side show.

I was surprised it was blood that came out. I was so sure it would be oil. He's a machine!

transmission fluid is red

Somebody should've hit Short with an upper cut for that cheap shot. It's football if you get bloodied with a fair shot, but he just punched Brees long after Brees had released the ball.

It was smarter not to, or else the TD might have been nullified (unless the foul occurs after the play?)

But yeah, I was imagining all kinds of retribution.

Meanwhile, the Saints are big meanies for tripping Cam that one time.

Drew Brees throws TD despite
Short shoved Brees hard in the face, knocking him to the ground, a moment after Brees released the ball.

But Short insisted afterward that it was not an act of frustration.

“Not at all. Not at all,” Short insisted. “I was getting outside contain and I just threw my hands up. He’s a shorter quarterback. I just happened to hit him in the face. It wasn’t on purpose. It wasn’t out of frustration or nothing. I was just doing my job.’’

Don't worry guys, it was just business.

Didn't look like what he's describing

My bad. No disrespect to ballerinas lol.

He'll be fined for sure (hopefully suspended). He should have been ejected, but NFL refs are afraid of ejecting anyone.

I looked on the Saints site earlier and saw no gif of it, jus the regular highlights. Does anyone have it? In real time it sure looked intentional.

Dude... I mean I'm sure even Rex Ryan threw up in his mouth after seeing that... What the heck do they do to their feet?

 

[mt15]

They put all their weight on the tips of their toes. A lot. I tried to do it when I was young, it hurts quite a bit. Your feet aren't meant to do that. Ballerinas are equivalent to world class athletes.

He would never try to hurt his fellow Purdue Boiler...
