Re: OBJ Vs Norman
You could be right. To me it looked like Norman slowed up while OBJ was running full tilt and OBJ lunges towards his body, which gave me the impression he wasn't aiming for his head.
With OBJ coming full tilt he wouldn't have been able to judge Norman slowing up so when he lunges back towards his body which it looks to me like he did I thought he was looking to hit his shoulder or else he wouldn't have aimed so far back towards his body.
With these types of hits (pretty much any "dirty" hit in the NHL) it's so hard to tell. But typically the end result is all that matters and he made head contact. Definitely got the right call. Honestly I think it should have gotten more than a game. I think that could have been a lot worst"Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: OBJ Vs Norman
Honestly other then the helmet to helmet shot I don't mind seeing two great talents go at it like this. It's exciting I loved getting the updates on bleacher report and seeing the clips.
The helmet to helmet was a bitch move and I think he clearly was going for the knockout and missed which makes him look even worse.
But if you watch around the league there are players going for the knockout each week. This one is just so much more obvious because of the battle these two had going.
Idk OBJ as a person but it sure seemed like he didn't have anyone taking his back or stepping up to talk to him and let him know he wasn't alone.

Re: OBJ Vs Norman
No I agree. Sorry I just read my initial post, I didn't clarify.
I think the big thing I got out of it was Norman and OBJ both played dirty, but OBJ took it too far. Norman had that hands to the face penalty he took to get a shot on OBJ. Again, not a good play, but he went straight at him and OBJ Could defend himself. OBJ decided to go for a blindside hit when the play was just about over.
Shows a huge difference in the two people. Norman played dirty but faced up to him when he did it. OBJ decided to do it when Norman's back was turned."Cause if you ain’t pissed off for greatness, that just means you’re okay with being mediocre, and ain’t no man in here okay with just basic.”

Re: OBJ Vs Norman
NFL should have told Beckham he was done for the season. The refs should have thrown him out of the game. Is the NFL serious about player safety or not???? They'll fine a guy and give him a personal foul for an accidental hit on the QB in the heat of battle. This was intentional head hunting to hurt the guy.

Re: OBJ Vs Norman
Panthers got into his head because of ODB 's digital reputation. In this case Norman and company used cultural innuendo to completely take dude off his game

Re: OBJ Vs Norman
I kind of like ODB too but man he must have some thin skin if he let the Panther guy get to him on that level. I mean heres the best player by far on his team and fighting tooth and nail for a postseason spot..... and hes out here spearing dudes blatantly like Brandon Mayweather or something? (As a WR no less!)
I understand words can cut deep (and apparently that dudes a real trash talker) but ODB cant cross the line like that especially in this NFL era.They hate us..... but they want to BE us. (.... or at least poach all our players/coaches/FO people!) :respect

Re: OBJ Vs Norman
I don't recall any precedence for a case like this but his appeal should be heard by tomorrow. I still say it's very likely he wins and just pays a fine, especially when you consider the bat and the alleged slurs. It's not like this is the first time guys have gone at each other and even launched.
Also, the league will probably mandate that no props are used on the field anymore. No bats, hammers, axes whatever.
