Mac accused of hitting Sauce in the junk!

[BritPat]

The 15 second mark in that video shows him clearly grab and roll with the ankle. I know he is the QB of our team but it is clear as day.

This is a text book description of confirmation bias. You want it to be true and you believe that clip shows you what you think it does.

So, the media won't get off this story - I couldn't care less about it. Switch the channel everytime it comes up

It's just one of those stories. It's amusing, allows talk radio to go on and on and on, and is open to interpretation. The media loves these kinds of stories.

Mac is definitely a player who loves to chirp at opponents. Always was. Should eventually start backing that up with winning though.

People love to talk about balls. Who knew?

Well, certain people.

Rumors are the league is going to hand down a stiff fine.

It's a sad day in football when a qb is the one being called dirty. Soy boy needs to stfu and stop complaining.

If it's a stiffy fine of @15K who cares.

Soy Sause. I like it.

Sauce just got out ahead of the story.
If Mac says he has a needle **** ... nothing there then he is admitting guilt ... so he won't.

Kraft, Mac, Sauce... damn, it's almost dinner time!

Just another reason to use his real first name

I don't want our QB.

Fixed it for you.

This story was discussion worthy Monday, getting a little old on Tuesday, and "Can we move on already?" on Wednesday.

Personally, I think all Mosely, Jones, and Gardner probably will get fined and I don't have a problem with it. But I stopped caring about 24 hours ago.

I don't want our QB to be a dirty player but the evidence is there. Is the Sauce nut tap clear as day? No, but it looks like something happened based on that video and Sauce claims it happened as well. I don't hate Mac but this type of stuff is going to get him hurt via retaliation at some point and where will that leave us?

Still not ONE Mac hater can explain to me (or anyone else for that matter) why there isn't a SCINTILLA of evidence that this so called savage attack on Gardner. Where is the groan? Where is the whimper? Where is there even a TWITCH to show he was hit in the nuts? Nothing. Nada. ZERO reaction other than to shove Mac to the ground well after the whistle (that particularly fast whistle btw).

Is Mac chippy? Yup Is Mac gonna give as much as he takes? You better believe it? Is he gonna whine like Gardner if he gets roughed up a bit? I haven't seen it so far. Just who is the dirty player here. All the haters want to give GARDNER the benefit of the doubt and throw Mac under the bus with ZERO evidence of a crime. Zero? It is much more believable based on the evidence that Gardner was simply trying to justify HIS dirty actions.

Unlike the haters I'm willing to admit I'm wrong about the play IF someone can show a SINGLE clip which shows Gardner in even a momentary incident of pain coming from this phantom shot to the nuts. But thus far we just have the same Johnny one notes trying to justify a dubious position....AGAIN.

BTW- what exactly are the other incidents that show this is a pattern of behavior. IIRC there was the ankle tug, and while I understand why the defender would be immediately upset, but that was clearly an instinctual move to keep the defender from jumping on the fumble. I WANT my QB to do something like that rather than just allow him to go get it. He should be applauded for it. There was nothing malicious about it.

Then there was the time where he supposedly "trash talked" an opponent (I forgot who) OOOOH, like that doesn't go on with everyone else. What player in the NFL gets that far being insulted by trash talk. Generally I'd say it is not a game for the thin skinned. Now personally I'd advise my QB, who is subject to blindside hits, NOT to trash talk. Defensive players have enough motivation to knock the snot out you, that you don't need to give them more. But that's just me.

Those are the 3 I can recall. Are there more? And if so what are they?

This is simply low hanging fruit for lazy media hosts too ignorant or lazy to actually work to get info that will actually INFORM their readers and listeners. and people with an agenda and nothing better to do than ruin this board. This crap has 18 pages and the x's and o's thread for this week doesn't exist, and the Cowboys thread has 6. THAT is how bad it's getting. Christ swap the word Jets for Pats and it could be just another version of a group of Jets fans.

Gardner and Mosley will get bigger fines than Mac and I’ll lol.

 

[sb1]

All Mac fans like touching another mans privates.

Can’t say I’ve ever pondered something like that but you just did. Huh. Not that there’s anything wrong with that… we are all accepting here so you can be you.

Not a chance with Science Professor Troy Vincent in the job. Hope I’m wrong but that guy is hit garbage when it comes to the Pats.

Mac needs to STFU out there
