Oregon's LeGarrette Blount Cleans This White Dude's Clock!


Man, I was actually watching pieces of this game last night with my nig Andy but we changed the channel to watch that "Smoking Guns' Dumbest Criminal" show on TruTV (of course half of the idiots were from Florida but that's neither here nor there). When we flipped it back SportsCenter had started and they were showing this video of LeGarrette Blount stealing on one of the Boise State players. Random as hell, but also funny as hell.

Now, of course Blount was wrong for punching the guy, but we can't forget that white buddy did provoke the incident. He slaps his shoulder pad and then talks shit right in his face so lets not act like this was some random act of violence, he was provoked.

After that, when Blount decided to go after some fans, I can't explain and I think that's more so what he'll be punished for if he ends up getting an extremely harsh punishment. One thing to remember about the situation is that this was in Boise, Idaho. I'm not saying they're a racist state, but I've gotta wonder if any of those fans started dropping N-bombs or other racial slurs when Blount was trying to exit the field. I'm sure you don't get to interact with a lot of black people living in Idaho so maybe somebody got a little too excited about the punch. I'm not saying that's what happened, but its a possibility.

As far as punishment goes, I think you give the kid 1 or 2 games and call it a day. I'm leaning towards 2 though because of the fan incident after the punch aftermath had somewhat calmed down. Fuck anybody talking about he should be kicked off the team or kicked out of school, that's a bit obsessive for a small fight after a football game.

Lesson of the day: Don't talk shit after a football game without your helmet on! lol.
