That's why god invented football helmets.

If you have ever played football you miss half of the excitement on the field because you are fighting with the guy across from you.

If you -
Don't like each other
Took exception to something said on the field
Had someone cheap shot you
or want to get back at someone who was jawing before and after the game
the best thing to do is keep your mouth shut-you don't say ANYTHING to anyone except shake a hand or say "Good Game".


There is no excuse for clocking anyone for something stupid, but you cannot and should not rub anyone's nose into anything after a loss.

Think of it this way...

The guy that got clocked will be the butt of jokes for a while. People will ask hiw what he said to get the other player ticked off, they all will laugh about it and maybe it will be a lesson every time he tells the story.

His penance will be the clip of him getting clipped and almost going down.
But, he dodged a bullet by not being suspended.

You would be amazed at what happens during a play.

It's not a place for manners and well wishes.

There aren't many rules about smack talking and showing people up-disgression is the better part of valor - and keep your chin strap buckled if you plan on talking shiat after the game.
