As the NATStards that troll these blogs are about to learn, you shouldn’t talk trash if you don’t want it thrown back in your face.

And even if you don’t “condom” Blount for that, the fact that he then went after cops and fans should tell you that he’s a complete nutjob that doesn’t belong on the field.

Well, I was inclined to go with the “good sportsmanship” crowd on this one, that is, until last night’s hand-shake sucker punch after the Boise State-Oregon game. By all credible accounts, the punch sounds like it was verbally provoked by post-game taunting from one of the Boise players, but that’s beside the point. This incident reflects horribly on both players involved, their parents, their programs and their schools. Both players involved need to be suspended, and coaches need to to educate the rest on the fundamentals of acceptable behavior that most of us learned in Little League.

I recognize the cultural down-slide that got us to this point, but standards need to be upheld and enforced. If 200 players can’t shake hands in a gesture of a good sportsmanship AFTER the game is played, I’m not sure universities need to be sponsoring intercollegiate football teams. Seriously. I’m embarrassed for all concerned, and my team wasn’t even on the field. Every coach, athletic director, conference commissioner and university president needs to step up and condemn this kind of behavior NOW.
