I saw him turn his head and look back at Purdy, and then stick the ball out in front of himself. He was taunting him. I'm not the only one that saw that. If you don't see it, I do understand why, some others don't see it either, and if him taunting Purdy is ok with you, that's fine, it doesn't bother a lot of people now a days.

It wouldn't have bothered me for him to high step into the EZ, hold the ball out in front, or dance a jig in celebration. I think penalties for normal exuberant celebration are ridiculous, but taunting is over the line.

I don’t see the taunting (and I’m not the only one that didn’t), so it’s irrelevant if taunting is “ok with me”. I saw any glances back as determining how far back his pursuers were BEFORE he held the ball out in front of him...which falls under celebrating, and not even the exuberant sort.

They interviewed another relative on the news and she looked and talked like she was right out of the movie "Deliverance".

I worked in the home medical equipment field many years ago and will never forget having to go into the middle of nowhere(probably 15 miles from any form of civilization, I believe it was somewhere in Smith County) to set up a hospital bed for an old fella. I knew I was in a mess when I was walking up the front steps to introduce myself and chickens came walking out of the house. This poor man and his wife were living in the most disgusting, filthiest place imaginable and it stunk something fierce. The lady told me where she wanted the bed to go and I had to help her move an old bed outside and then wait while she shoveled and swept up piles of chicken shat out of the way. It took me days to get that smell out of my nostrils and mind!

Is Jordan Allen transferring?
Click to expand...

Yes, the new transfer rules allow for student athletes to be granted permission to transfer without being denied by the University. After a 48 hour window, they are now entered into a national portal database and can be directly contacted by other coaches/university's without penalty. One caveat is that the current university can pull the athletic scholarship at the end of the current semester, instead of honoring it the entire school year.

All other rules of transfer still apply.

No I wasn't just talking about his super bowl prediction. You don't think he and guys like dandy don taunted on the field? Or defenders didn't stand over a player they just leveled? It definitely happened. I bet the ancient Greeks were taunting each other in the original Olympics too. It wasn't invented in the 80s. It's a natural side effect of competition in some people. And it's mostly harmless. Can it go too far? Absolutely. But holding a football out and talking trash to a player who can't catch you at the goalline is pretty harmless. It's kind of interesting though that you and Ulysses think taunting is horrible but don't like the targetting rule which is designed to prevent actions that are in fact harmful. For the record I think ejection is too stiff a penalty as well, but I think what they're trying to prevent is important. Far more important than preventing players from having hurt feelings over a taunt.

I am against true targeting. I am also against the stupidity that happened last night. Especially the last one sgainst Iowa State was a complete travesty. If that is what the rules are, then the rules are really stupidly written.

I actually just said that others, like you, did not see it..I did.

I see stuff like this literally every week. I'm lucky though because I'm not required to go in the house and help them out. I can smell it sometimes all the way out in the driveway, and I feel so sorry for home health that have to go inside. I would wear a hazmat suit if it was me.

Most animals are cleaner than these disgusting freaks.
