So I guess this means it’s officially football season:
It’s Not Football Season Until LeGarrette Blount Punches Somebody
The rookie running back capped off a feisty night practice for the Tennessee Titans with a short punch to the helmet of defensive end Erik Bakhtiari a few moments after having his helmet ripped off.
The play ended with some pushing and shoving, then Blount threw a right into Bakhtiari’s facemask.
By all accounts, this doesn’t sound quite like the Shot Heard ‘Round Boise & Eugene last year. Titans practice had been chippy all day long and when Blount apologized to coach Jeff Fisher over the incident, Fisher said his apology was unnecessary.
UPDATE: Here’s video of the incident, via Music City Miracles:
All’s well that ends well for LeGarrette. However this does give us a good excuse to look at last year’s punch in animated GIF form.
