Mac accused of hitting Sauce in the junk!

[Rob0729]

I just don't get the people who thought an NFL player would just make up something like that out of thin air while specifically naming a culprit.

I don’t think he is making it up. But I wouldn’t be surprised if he is overstating what happened or thought an incidental contact was an overt act. But still Mac could be guilty.

 

[Jlaff]

I'm not saying it's right IF Mac did it just that it happens more than we know. If he did it, he should get fined. I don't think it's ever alright to hit someone in the nuts.

I'm not certain he did it either, but I don't think it's unlikely considering the video and Sauce's in-game and post-game reactions.

I also think if it was that prevalent of an act we'd see a lot more evidence online (screen grabs and clips) given most people are appalled at the idea and would jump at any opportunity to highlight an opposing team's player engaging in such activity.

if mac did not do anything why would gardner push mac away all of the sudden after both players were standing

Maybe Mac said something that triggered Gardner.

Did you ever get a red card?

No that's a good dig. Well done.

Just saw a camera angle on Twitter where you can see Mac Jones do a jerky motion with his elbow as he walks by. You can’t see where his fist goes, by reaction comes right after. You would have to say innocent in a court of law, but he might have done it lol

 

[PATS16N0]

But it ultimately doesn’t matter if will-never-be-Brady-how-dare-you-even-play-quarterback-for-this-team Mac Jones did it; what matters is if NFL defenders believe he did lol

Guaranteed he said something at least. He’s a known chirper.

These guys DO wear cups, right?

 

[PATS16N0]

I do find it hard to believe a dude would just make something like that up. I mean, NFL players come in all stripes, but I sort of have to believe you wouldn’t make that accusation unless it was obvious to you that it was obvious to players walking around.

 

[PATS16N0]

But it’s the Patriots, still gleaming like the sun for 20 years of total domination.

People will talk crazy **** about it while giving dudes like Ray Lewis a pass for trying to blatantly go helmet to unprotected head on BenJarvus Green-Ellis.

 

[neuronet]

That video shows nothing. how the hell is that supposed to justify anything

I would guess they don't, it's hard to run wearing those things.

 

[BUSTAMOVE]

This is what Sauce is whining like a little school girl about
Looks like he taps his belly button area
Maybe Sauce had a chubby for some weird reason

 

[slash83]

Jet players were dirty af on that sneak, sore losers.

I think this thread has run its course. The clip which shows pretty definitively that about the only thing you know for CERTAIN is that little wimpy ***** Gardner didn't seem to react to getting hit in his tiny nads. Again, not even a twitch.

That being said, we have the "one notes" who will claim that just because Gardner said its true it must be so, you know, because it's Mac, and even though our eyes tell us nothing happened, the narrative makes us ignore what we see. Donald would be so proud of you all.

Positions are now fixed. No new ground to be plowed, so let's just get on to the Cowboys already.

It's what traditionally is called a "nut tap." When it hits you in the 'head', it feels like a combination of a stomach ache and a bee sting. It's a stupid frat boy move, but it takes way more of a ****y to complain about it.

It's a ****head move to do it..... but a really, really ***** move to complain about it. "Investigation?" **** off.

Nah ... lots of them like to show the hog.

 

[Grogan14]

He tapped him in the belly button. Not sure why Gardner is making such a big deal about it.
Unfortunately for MAC he already has the reputation (justified or not) about being a dirty player and when guys like Calais Campbell and Chris Long (who both command respect around the league) call him out as a dirty player...it may stick with him.
He will be a target.
As I said before, on the play where he got body slammed to the ground after the whistle...his teammates should have physically stuck up for him....they didn't

 

[Jim Beankie]

Mac should have done this to Mosley after his thug move after the whistle.

To be fair to Mosley, Mac rammed into him trying to extend the play well after the whistle (more like 10 whistles) was blown. I'd have done the same thing.
