When will sweeps be over, and they can put this crap away?

Three more days darkpixel. Then MSNBC can get back to reporting the news….Oh wait…….nm

Sand? Oy!

The method preferred next is another one that didn’t happen here. It’s a shame that either the punched kid or his teammates (where were they???) didn’t turn around and absolutely bury this little jerk. That lesson would have taught him more than JV court ever will.

It’s a shame that neither method is allowed to happen today.

I had that kind of lesson taught to me by myself the last time I lost control at that level after losing a game, namely after a tennis match in 8th grade. My goodness, was it a good lesson. Dad felt no need to pop open any cans; I did the job better than he ever could have. I desired to see which would dent first from my serve: my racquet or the court. Rather than finding the court, though, my racquet found my left shin with enough force to dent the racquet frame and make me pass out. I still get shin splints occasionally there, 16 years later. I learned my lesson well, and one could say that it serves me right.

With video footage: National news on MSNBC.

How did people decide what was newsworthy before the advent of the videocamera?

The “victim” hardly even noticed.

I will post the kids first name “Phil” Not going to say his last name.

Guess what our coach did to him when he found out about it on the bus?(I believe this is one of the games that our head coach got kicked out of, and thats why he wasn’t on the field at the time and didn’t get to see it, our coach got kicked out of a few games for yelling at the refs)

Coach, “Phil! Where is Phil!!!??? Phil Get your a*s up to the front of the BUS NOW!!!”( Phil scared walking up to the front of the bus thinking coach is going kick his butt for sucker punching th kid in the face…)

Coach, “GOOD JOB MAN!!!! COME ON YOU SISSY WHY DIDN’T YOU HIT HIM HARDER YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST KNOCKED HIM OUT!” LMAO!!!(we had some crazy coaches! they were young guys right out of college)

He’s too busy spitting in the umpire’s face or hitting the coach with a tire iron. No wait, that’s Mom.

ROFL (Rolling On the Field Laughing)

That must be really scary stuff for all the private school sissy boys out there.:)

The worst incident I ever saw was in football practice when we were doing a drill where the first person in line lies down on the ground and and then next steps over him and lies down and so on until the line is empty and the first person to lie down jumps up and runs over everyone else. Well one of the meanest bastards on our team got stepped on and he jumped up and wailed on the kid who stepped on him. The coaches response was that he should be more careful where he steps.

Methinks Arianna likes the traffic, and the potential money.

Speaking of, is that the only place the vid was posted? We’ve been getting a lot of links to HuffPo lately. Me thinks Allah has a new favorite liberal.

What a little jerk. I hope his dad (assuming he has one and that he cares) took him behind the proverbial woodshed for that stupid stunt.

Stole his super delegate.

Ha!

The food chain in action: MSNBC runs this for shock value but ostensibly as news, despite not even knowing what the fight was about; mega-site HuffPo picks it up, also for the shock value but adorns it with a perfunctory, politically safe, disapproving intro to give it some substance; your humble correspondent picks it up from them, also for shock value, and applies some nifty media meta-commentary sprinkled with a handful of “sure, it’s terrible, but you can’t look away” irony; and then you pick it up from me and e-mail it to all your friends with the subject heading, “DUDE — POPPED IN THE FACE!!!”, the shock value fully vindicated at last. Cycle of life, my friends. Now I know how O’Reilly feels.

Gee, AP — Thanks for the extra helping of sneering condescension towards your readers. Sure tastes good with ketchup!

A kid punched another kid, on no! It’s off to the re-education camps for him.

I suppose he’ll be sent to therapy and doped up now.
MSNBC is just shocked that behavior like this still exists in any form. All of our children should have been subdued by now through daily doses of happiness and compliance.

I hope his dad (assuming he has one and that he cares) took him behind the proverbial woodshed for that stupid stunt.

Sadly, that option is off the table now for the most part.
