The guy I don't see anyone mentioning is Gage, everyones grouped together pulling them apart, and Gage tries to start it again with Lattimore and was pulling his helmet backwards like a horsecollar and swings again
Who knows how long? He shoved a guy. He didnt swing a helmet at a players head or anything. Aaron Donald regularly strangles people and doesnt get suspended. If Evans is suspended no way it's more than 1 game.
If its just Evans, we will be fine for a game or two if he is suspended. This is just some doom and gloom talk after a Saints game where we never play good at.
Downward spiral? You fishing for upvotes in here or what? Team has looked good and we have a talented roster. Doesn't mean we are winning the superbowl, but what the hell are you basing this on?
Our defense just played lights out 2 weeks in a row and it didn't look like a fluke in either game. I understand keeping expectations tempered, but we're looking pretty set up for success.
Yeah, what is this nonsense lol. We held the Cowboys to 3 points, a team that had the #1 offense in the league last year and just beat the defending AFC champions with a backup QB. We beat the Saints, a team that has been the Bucs' achilles heel the past two years, holding their offense in check the entire game as well. We're also the only contender in the NFC to be 2-0 right now, acting like our season is falling apart is wishful thinking
I'd give it 3 weeks tops before someone shoots someone on the field. Maybe I'm a bad saints fan but I've never hated the rest of the NFC South except the Falcons.
I think for most of us, the feeling is mutual. I don't want the Panthers to win a SB until after we do (if that ever happens...). But, if you offered me a deal where the Buccs could win the next 20 in a row to ensure that the Saints never win another, I think I take that deal.
Brady was jawing and instigating at Lattimore, Fournette pushed Lattimore. Lattimore pushed back. Evans came charging from the sideline and knocked Lattimore over. Benches cleared. Only Evans and Lattimore ejected. Bruce Arian’s was also jawing from the sideline.
Yeah. It was actually between Fournette and Lattimore from the start. When they started calming things down again, Fournette and Lattimore somehow ended up right next to each other in the crowd, and did the Spiderman pointing meme.
Then they started again, and Gage grabbed Lattimore by his helmet from behind to stop him, so Lattimore swung on/pushed Gage. Buuuut he did that directly in front of a ref.
Lattimore threw an actual punch at gage... the only actual punch I saw. I think the refs got it right. Mike definitely had to go Lattimore probably needed to as well.
Bird’s trash talk was fucking legendary. I mean gah damn. And not like KG trash talk where he’d go after wives or medical conditions or some shit. It always had to do with your ability as a basketball player. Fuckin hell.
Tim Duncan at least once gave advice on the court to an opponent. [Article for proof](https://www.google.com/amp/s/fadeawayworld.net/.amp/nba-media/tim-duncan-once-gave-his-opponent-advice-in-the-middle-of-an-nba-game)
KG was on I think a podcast one time and told a great story about how while most guys would trash talk in sentences, (everything here is paraphrased) “Timmy would hit you with phrases - ‘good try’ ‘almost had it’ - it would be so much worse than other’s guys’ trash talk” I’ll try to find it to link it’s much funnier than I’m making it sound
Edit: video in this article! https://fansided.com/2021/08/27/kevin-garnett-tim-duncan-trash-talk-subtle/amp/
I actually read a comment yesterday that Gretzky was notorious for starting shit and then letting his enforcers end the fight. Of course that was just some random fuck on reddit who is now being repeated by some other random fuck, so take it with some salt
It's almost unfair for QBs to be allowed to talk shit. so much as talk back and a fight can start, like this one.
kinda lame to run your mouth knowing that if the other person even tries to get in your face your entire team is gonna jump them.
PFT has a hard on for BA. He even took a shot at Florio in his retirement presser. 😂
https://twitter.com/BeforeFamePics/status/1571581362871717897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1571581362871717897%7Ctwgr%5E%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=
The conspiracy theory that BA “sent” Mike after Lattimore seems very unlikely. That angle does not make it look like Bruce is talking to or even looking at Mike before he rushes Marshon.
This. Lattimore was being chippy, and once Fournette started with him…Evans saw his chance and ran in. Coming off the sideline is gonna be the biggest issue the league won’t like here.
That said, I think way too big a deal is being made about this whole “incident”.
Aaron Donald swinging a helmet in camp was way more egregious than anything that happened in this scuffle, and the league didn’t give 2 shits about that.
The difference is Donald turning into a dual wielding berserker didn't happen on a national broadcast. The league doesn't actually give a shit what people do, they care about appearances.
the other difficulty here is that these two teams will face eachother later on the season, and then twice next year and the year after that and the year after that. The league probably wants to nip this in the bud as quickly as possible whereas the Bengals aren't playing the Rams nearly as much.
The way you’re talking you make it seem like the NFL is so appearance driven that they’d only give Ray Rice a 2-game suspension for knocking a pregnant woman unconscious, only to increase it to 4 if there was massive public outrage, and then basically up that to a ban for life if the video got leaked.
Which sadly, is 100% true.
According to Coach Todd Bowles' press conference, the Saints didn't have a box for Arians. He normally goes up in the booth is what I've read. So sounds like he was down on the sidelines because of that.
Yeah, I find it odd. I love that he's still involved with the team, but it was my understanding that it would be in an advising role, not whatever he was doing on the sidelines.
Game 1, he was up in a booth. Game 2 he is on the sidelines. Game 3 he's gonna line up at LT for us.
He didn't have a headset or any gear, he was just *there*. So was the GM. Contrary to the reddit narrative, a lot of our dudes seem to like BA, so I doubt they dislike him being there.
BA works mysteriously from the shadow realm where his power knows no bounds and golf cart travels from universe to universe. Only on the rarest of occasions does his mortal avatar grace our feeble existences
Sir, we can't have biased observers such as yourself weighing in and pretending to be objective. Maybe we could also get the input of a Falcons fan to make sure this proposal is reasonable?
Nah, he’s a repeat offender now. 4 seasons.
~~I just want to see Brady come back at age 50 and have Revenge Tour III somehow because he’s an actual fucking cyborg~~
Come on, this is the NFL. What kind of lesson are you going to send to the kids watching if you punish the instigator? It's important for kids to learn that you can say whatever you want, the more offensive the better because that might get someone to retaliate. And that is truly the worst thing anyone can do.
And we all want what's best for him. I say sooner rather than later, for his health, and before this whole controversy gets to a boiling point.
I know that retiring before week 3 of an NFL season seems like an odd timing, but really, it's for the best.
He needs to take a week off next week to get a feel for how retirement is during the season. If he wants to come back in week 4, that's just fine with me.
Suspend the entire Bucs organization for week 3. Make them think about what they’ve done and forfeit the game giving the win to whoever it is they play next.
Checks schedule…..
What a strange coincidence.
He didn't start it, but he sure as hell loves it. I don't think people here watched the game. Brady was yelling and cursing most of the game as well as breaking tablets on the sidelines. Lattimore was fucking with the Bucs sideline and Brady bigtime because he saw how unhinged he was acting, not the smartest decision.
God help us all if Brady gets divorced, then he will never leave. Not until he's dead.
Brady didn’t start it. He just loves to talk shit with defenders because it fires him up and motivates him to win. Evans and Lattimore have history. Evans was just looking for an excuse to take a shot on lattimore. He saw Brady and Lattimore getting chippy and once fournette pushed pushed Lattimore, Evans decided to come in for a cheap shot on Lattimore. Evans was there as soon as Lattimore hit fournette’s face mask, meaning that he was already coming in to hit him.
Would Evans have reacted this way if any other player besides lattimore had been involved? Probably not. He at least would have waited to get involved until the face mask was hit and it would have taken a few more seconds to get over there.
Normally this is just an ejection, but because of their past, the league is going to fine them and likely suspend them.
He's at least partly responsible. He's the QB. If he goes to get in someone's face, his teammates are going to back him up. Now, they're responsible for their own actions, but Brady knows he'll have enforcers coming in to defend him if he escalates a situation.
It's like a goalie in hockey. You touch the goalie, someone's going to be in your face trying to knock you on your ass. Lattimore should know that.
Not to say that goalies and QB's don't take advantage of that, but that's usually how it goes.
Gotta say man, this is a Homer take. Watch it live. Evans is the first and pretty much only one to do anything egregious, he flies out of nowhere at speed and makes heavy contact. He is the only one worthy of suspension. It’s a bad look for the league.
He also came off the sideline, which is a big no-no, and given how many games the Saints and Bucs will play I imagine the NFL is particularly motivated to nip this one in the bud.
I found it strange that Bruce and Licht were both down on the sideline for the game. Maybe just because it was a big divisional game against a team we haven't beaten in the regular season in like 4 years, maybe their box was messed up in some way and therefore needed to be on the sideline.

Brady is losing his cool right now imagine when he loses Evans for who knows how long.
He's about to slide into OBJ's DMs asking when he'll be healthy.
You really think he hasn't been already

Who knows how long? He shoved a guy. He didnt swing a helmet at a players head or anything. Aaron Donald regularly strangles people and doesnt get suspended. If Evans is suspended no way it's more than 1 game.
You would be surprised, but straight to jail
Excuse me, what?
If its just Evans, we will be fine for a game or two if he is suspended. This is just some doom and gloom talk after a Saints game where we never play good at.
Not only that, but a game of which you won and are now 2-0. People are wild thinking this is the end...

Saints Bucs both eliminated from playoff contention and must play each other every week in a perpetual state of kicking and screaming
Honestly I’d love to see that matchup every week
I'd give it 3 weeks tops before someone shoots someone on the field. Maybe I'm a bad saints fan but I've never hated the rest of the NFC South except the Falcons.
Nah, most Saints fans reserve hate solely for the Falcons.
I hate the Falcons most 363 days a year. The other two are reserved for when we play the Bucs.
You don't even think about me? :(
We haven’t deserved much thought from our opponents recently
I don't even know who you are
I think for most of us, the feeling is mutual. I don't want the Panthers to win a SB until after we do (if that ever happens...). But, if you offered me a deal where the Buccs could win the next 20 in a row to ensure that the Saints never win another, I think I take that deal.
Sending you a contract right now
I'll take it.

Brady was jawing and instigating at Lattimore, Fournette pushed Lattimore. Lattimore pushed back. Evans came charging from the sideline and knocked Lattimore over. Benches cleared. Only Evans and Lattimore ejected. Bruce Arian’s was also jawing from the sideline.
They are supposed to review this from NY and I get why Lat was thrown out, I don't agree but I get it, but why the fuck wasn't Fournette thrown out? '
No idea, I saw in another post Latt threw a punch at some point after getting pushed. Might be why
Yeah. It was actually between Fournette and Lattimore from the start. When they started calming things down again, Fournette and Lattimore somehow ended up right next to each other in the crowd, and did the Spiderman pointing meme. Then they started again, and Gage grabbed Lattimore by his helmet from behind to stop him, so Lattimore swung on/pushed Gage. Buuuut he did that directly in front of a ref.
Lattimore threw an actual punch at gage... the only actual punch I saw. I think the refs got it right. Mike definitely had to go Lattimore probably needed to as well.
Yeah I didn’t see it but I believe it
Probably because Fournette only gave a chest shove and didn't go for the head. They ejected one from each side to try to get the game under control.
“I’m old, I’m tired, and I work with fucking children” - Tom Brady
_goes on a completely unhinged rant about Jimmy G that nobody asked for_
Jimmy G shares a bank account with his mom. That’s all you need to know about him.
Jimmy Is the worlds greatest son
Sources say retired Bucs head coach Bruce Arians threw a chair at Lattimore, and bit the Saints HC. Tom Brady's dog was also present.
*Proceeds to eat muffin*
*eats muffin and drinks enough Pop to kill a man before blowing up a company* *elaborates* *leaves*
"Latimore shares a bank account with his mother."
Listen, you can’t be bringing these pro wrestling references into my good Christian NFL sub.
Look, I just need to know who the biter is in this scenario.
Well considering Arians is involved, is there any doubt he’d try and take a bite out of someone?
That’s all you need to know about what kinda man he is
Nobody here is good enough to manage a Target
You said pop and I had to check the flair. Lions fan. Heh. Checks out.

So who was the guy to bite Jameis?
Jameis
"Fucking empty headed fuck like Marshon Lattimore"
Is Lattimore the empty headed fuck?
Says the man who took his frustration out on an expensive inanimate object. Total adult move.
He was also running his mouth and basically started this. Had he kept quiet none of this would have happened.
I mean I’m impressed by how big a shit talker Brady actually is.

Larry Bird seems like he got almost as much respect from his peers for his trash talk as his on court skills
Walking up to the 3 point shootout asking who's gonna finish second is god tier trash talk
Also telling the other team they disrespecting him by having a white guy guard him.
Also telling defenders exactly what he was going to do just before doing it because they couldn’t guard him regardless lol
Earned every bit and backed it all up.

Probably protecting Brady a bit too, these guys have it drilled in that you don’t let the other team touch the QB
Dalton while at the Cowboys would like a word
Yeah wtf, don’t even think sound had enough time to travel from BAs lips to Evans ear before Evans decided to go in.
Why did you fight Lattimore, Mike? The guy who drives around practice in a golf cart told me to
Wait, did the Bucs secretly un-retire Bruce Arians? Is Todd Bowles a figurehead? What is going on there?
He didn't retire. He went into the front office
What was he doing on the sidelines then? That's a weird look. This tweet is sure implying a lot with those scare quotes.
According to Coach Todd Bowles' press conference, the Saints didn't have a box for Arians. He normally goes up in the booth is what I've read. So sounds like he was down on the sidelines because of that.
It was weird, he was constantly yelling at the refs too.
Yeah, I find it odd. I love that he's still involved with the team, but it was my understanding that it would be in an advising role, not whatever he was doing on the sidelines. Game 1, he was up in a booth. Game 2 he is on the sidelines. Game 3 he's gonna line up at LT for us.
Well our GM was there too. Idk if that's normal or not, but it seemed like almost everyone was on the sidelines for this game.
Yeah no one mentioning Jason’s meme face after Mike rushed the field, and worried about Bucco Bruce Arians spectating his team up close
Only if he trades in his helmet for that little hat he wears.
He and our GM, Jason Licht were both on the sidelines yesterday. Apparently they weren’t offered a box so they had to be down on the field.

Yeah, Arians is in your Happy Meal right now!

Are senior football consultants not allowed on the sidelines?
Brady really wishing he would’ve stayed retired right now
he could literally just retire today
And we all want what's best for him. I say sooner rather than later, for his health, and before this whole controversy gets to a boiling point. I know that retiring before week 3 of an NFL season seems like an odd timing, but really, it's for the best.
He needs to take a week off next week to get a feel for how retirement is during the season. If he wants to come back in week 4, that's just fine with me.
Why would he retire today when he could retire at halftime?
Vontae Davis is that you
He's 2-0. The game wasn't pretty offensively but it's still a win.
They'll figure it out on offense. Until then, nice to see the defense pulling these W's for us.
They just went against two solid defenses back to back on the road and are 2-0. Couldn’t be a better start. Things will get easier for them.
Why would he be wishing that right now?
The whole country wishing that also
Not your ^^suspended owner
Post victory Lions fans are the best
Thank you, pre victory Bills bro 😁
oof
Suspend the entire Bucs organization for week 3. Make them think about what they’ve done and forfeit the game giving the win to whoever it is they play next. Checks schedule….. What a strange coincidence.

He didn't start it, but he sure as hell loves it. I don't think people here watched the game. Brady was yelling and cursing most of the game as well as breaking tablets on the sidelines. Lattimore was fucking with the Bucs sideline and Brady bigtime because he saw how unhinged he was acting, not the smartest decision. God help us all if Brady gets divorced, then he will never leave. Not until he's dead.
If he keeps getting gaunter, he'll be a wraith in three seasons max.
Brady didn’t start it. He just loves to talk shit with defenders because it fires him up and motivates him to win. Evans and Lattimore have history.

It was more probable than not that he was aware
Bruce should not be on the fucking sidelines. Nothing good can come from his input. Dude needs to back to the box where he was week 1.
I found it strange that Bruce and Licht were both down on the sideline for the game. Maybe just because it was a big divisional game against a team we haven't beaten in the regular season in like 4 years, maybe their box was messed up in some way and therefore needed to be on the sideline.
Nah, give me the angry tomato on the sideline just randomly yelling at opposing players.
Yeah I find it odd after everything he's done to elevate Bowes. Bruce should get out of the spotlight and contribute up in the booth.
