The Packers guy pushed the trainer cause the Lions player on the field used to be his college team mate at Georgia and apparently they were and still are close friends, so the Packers player was trying to see if his friend was ok when the trainer shoved him out of the way and in his frustration he shoved him back is the story I heard around here.
And the one where the guy walked up and took the ball from the center before they hiked it was cause the coach called time out on the sidelines and he noticed that and he did not want the opponents kicker to get off a practice kick
Those sound like reasonable excuses - but was time-out really called?
And, man... You gotta love your brother to push a fuckin' trainer.
In a way, that's like pushing the EMT out of the way to check on your buddy. You don't wanna do that. You want the EMT working on your buddy!
And, the trainer DID kinda push him out of the way to start with.
But, still... He had to know that was gonna end badly if he responded in kind. Emotions will do that, I suppose.
Oh yeah, and there was a time out called.
It still looked ridiculous
I've seen some weird shit on a football field, but the guy taking the football from the scrimmage line is one of the weirdest.
Shit, I've seen a player intentionally knock over a referee.
He definitely wasn't thinking of the situation at hand beyond his buddy was laying there hurt
