Brandon Spikes should be out for the season

Did you see this? How do you not kick this guy off the team? Watch #51 try to hurt the ball carrier by shoving his fingers into his eyes. . .



His coach suspended him for one half of a game.

I have to believe or at least want to believe that he thought he was going for the ball.

Obviously a blatant act. And it shows that Urban has sold his soul to winning. Nothing will stop him.

I'm torn about this though. It is football, and we both know shit like this goes on in the pile ups a lot.

This guy just happened to get caught.

Half a game is a bull shit punishment though. Nothing is illegal until you get caught. he got caught. He should be punished.

he was going for the ball wonka... the "eye" ball.

I'm kind of torn too, Riggs. But it's hard to swallow the argument of "everyone does it, so it's no big deal". Someone has to put their foot down and say "NO. It's not OK to do that".

That's my opinion.
