To Kansas City Chiefs DL Shaun Smith, for grabbing the crotch of Cleveland Browns C Alex Mack during the Chiefs-Browns game. The incident occurred in the second quarter, though it isn't clear when exactly it happened. This is an accusation from Mack, as Smith vehemently denies grabbing his crotch. Mack apparently chased down Smith after the play, but didn't get to him because the play ended and the punt team was coming onto the field. However, later in the quarter, Mack took out his aggravation on LB Derrick Johnson, pushing him violently from behind and getting a 15-yard penalty for it.
C'Mon Man. If this is true, you know this is foul. You never go anywhere near another man's genitals if you're a man. That is foul territory and Smith better be right when he says it isn't true. There have been other incidents where players have gone that low. Boston Celtics G Ray Allen elbowed Cleveland Cavaliers F Anderson Varejao in the genitals and got a technical foul for it. Way back when, G Rafer Alston was ejected from a playoff game when he punched G David Wesley in that area when Alston was with the Heat and Wesley with the Hornets. In regards to Smith, however, at least the Chiefs won the game and got revenge for their poor outing against the Browns last year, when they allowed RB Jerome Harrison to rush for 286 yards.
To Miami Dolphins CB Vontae Davis, for hurting himself during a celebration after making a great tackle. Davis is a good corner for that Dolphins team, but his celebrations aren't as good. After a great tackle on Vikings TE Visanthe Shiancoe in the third quarter, Davis got up and stopped his foot violently and snapped his back violently as well. That's when the pain came. He started favoring his shoulder and signaling toward the sideline to indicate he was hurt, to the laughs of his teammates on the sideline. It was diagnosed as a shoulder stinger, but Davis returned to the game.
C'Mon Man. You haven't looked at past celebrations that have gotten players hurt? K Bill Gramatica is the poster boy for getting hurt while doing celebrations when he tore his ACL jumping up and down after making a simple field goal back in 2000. That play is constantly shown over and over, and that is the only thing he's known for in his career. Davis would've been better served going back to the huddle and trying to make some more stops. To his credit, he was able to come back in the game a play later, so it wasn't as devastating. But Davis should learn now to just go back to the huddle as opposed to celebrating on a simple tackle.
To New York Mets P Francisco Rodriguez, for texting his girlfriend 56 times after his girlfriend and her father were given a court protection order of no contact with each other. Rodriguez beat down his girlfriend's father at Citi Field and was promptly arrested. In the weeks after, he managed to text her numerous times against the court order, and got busted for it. Now he's being charged with seven counts of criminal comtempt for those text messages.
C'Mon Man. How stupid can you actually be? The Mets started talking about voiding his contract after the fight happened. Then he proceeds to compound his problems by sending those text messages. He's pretty much telling the jury and the judge to put him in jail, because that's where he'll end up if he does anything stupid again. I wonder what he had to say to his girlfriend in those text messages. It hasn't been revealed but I hope they weren't any threatening messages. If they were, that'll only add to his problems. At least Rodriguez has enough money to retire off of right now.
