Yeah, I don’t know who lit the fuse on Todd Golden Shower’s tampon, but it was pretty clear on replay there was no actual attempted punch at the Florida player. It was weird, but AF was clearly trying to knock the ball loose, which is why AF’s fist was nowhere close to the guy’s face. I watched the replay of it about ten times now. AF’s fist went right to his own wrist, almost like he was trying to gain more leverage to pry the ball loose.
Regardless, anyone not blind and possessing half a functioning brain (obviously not Dan Bonner) could see there was no attempt to swing at the Florida player. I mean, lol, it’s not even debatable. It wasn’t close.
Oh, and I love Ben McCollum’s quote:
“I don’t know. They were just going for the ball,”
McCollum told Ross. “Then, everybody got all sensitive. Then, their people got sensitive. We’re just trying to play ball. It’s whatever. We’ll compete. We’ll fight. We’ll see what happens.”
Since that atrocious officiated game in 2005, all of Gay-Turd Nation can eat sh*t. Go Hawks! Go Noles!
