Enraged by Brandon Spikes Eye Gouge Backlash

by Swampie on November 3, 2009

I have heard my last opinion from ESPN’s analysis from BYU. I don’t care to listen to such an idiot, I love the show but when he comes on it’s the mute button. And when I turn someone off they are off for life. By the way he’s the first guy I’m turning off on TV an indication of how easy going this man is.

Anyway he said Brandon Spikes should be suspended for the rest of the season. ESPN ran a poll and asked who’s action was worse, the LeGarrette Blount or Spikes? Sixty-percent said Spikes.

The BYU buffoon said what Spikes did showed premeditation over an emotional response from Blount.

I am sure that Spikes thought it out when he got into a secret position where there was little chance of him being seen that he would gouge the eye out of a Georgia Bulldog. Come on get real.

There is no defense for what Spikes did but in this game Georgia ripped his helmet off twice in the first half. The first time resulted in a penalty, the second time right after Spikes had his helmet ripped off a Georgia lineman came up and head butted him.  That was on purpose he lowered his head.

Watch the ENTIRE ****ing GAME closely then make an opinion. This crap really angers me. Look at those two other plays, Spikes had to leave the game and most likely came back with a concussion. I thought it was fitting at the end that he got the gift-six on the last INT.

No what he did wasn’t right but before anyone opens their BIG FAT MOUTH look at those other plays first and then talk about Brandon’s Spikes premeditation.

I doubt there was premeditation, I think there was an opportunity and an emotional response by Spikes. A poor choice it was but not premeditated.

And what if it was? The refs weren’t protecting him, that head butt on a person without a helmet should have been a foul and ejection.  But there was no flag at all.

I am outraged at the national media once again. Poor judgment bordering on stupidity and complete superficiality is the norm.  They are akin to a dumb dog you have to show them the stick before you throw it.

Added - OK I guess I have to show you guys the stick.  I believe those guys were ripping Spikes helmet off on purpose.  You put the helmet in a headlock and pull yeah it’s going to come off and that’s not by mistake.  Only the second time an offensive lineman believe he was #71 head butted him after.  And judging by the gody language of that lineman after it appeared he was trying to send a message to Spikes.

Why Spikes, well he made the big time hit the year before.  You guys fart this off as hey it happens it’s football.  Well I played football I was a linebacker and no it doesn’t happen like that.  They were after Spikes.

What he did wasn’t right but they were trying to hurt him and in my book that’s not right either.  Don’t poo poo this look at the game film.  I think Urban Meyer did and that’s why he came up with the punishment that he did.
