R.Bush intentionally injured? (1 Viewer)

Rotoworld: Ravens LB Bart Scott implied that he intentionally injured Reggie Bush's ankle.

"The media darling, aka the golden boy of the NFL, tried to take a cheap shot at me, so I told him I was going to put some extra on it," Scott said. "I put a little hot sauce on that ankle." In the same article, the Baltimore Sun notes that Bush dived to the turf on a five-yard run to avoid a hit from Ray Lewis.

Seems other players are getting a little jealous of Saint Reggie....

Shouldn't this be enough to take disciplinary action?I know injuries are a part of the game, but intentionally injuring another player is not.

I imagine they would have to verify it with game footage. I didn't see the hit, but if the intention was obvious I imagine someone besides Scott would have pointed it out by now.
 
Who the hell is Bart Scott, anyway? Besides, I doubt the guy knows what "aka" means.

Probably just trying to make outrageous comments to get an endorsement deal with a hot sauce company.

Scott is on pace for 117 Tackles, 11 Sacks, 2 INTs and 11 PDs. The only reason he has to say anything to get noticed is that he needs to talk over Ray Lewis.
 
ITS FREAKING FOOTBALL.

Defensive players try to hurt other guys all the time. They might not be able to just come out and say it publicly, but trust me, its goes on.

And unless you are using an illegal tactic, there is no rule I know of that says a D player cant try to inflict harm/injury on a ballcarrier - as long as it is done legally.

Its football. Stop whining. Reggie will learn to avoid the hits or he will become a target - because if he ever comes close to the hype, there is no better way for an opposing team to win a game than to be able to (legally) take out the opponents best weapon.

Again, its football. ####### need not apply.

 
Before the tabloid journalists run wild like a pack of crazed stupid dogs:

Intentionally injuring somebody and "putting a little extra" on a hit are not necessarily the same thing

First off, Bush has said nothing about it, it's been Bart Scott yapping about it to the Balt Sun and on SIRIUS earlier today. Secondly, it was after the tackle, where he put an extra, unneeded twist on the ankle.
 
Good grief, this is football not ballroom dancing ...

AKA, it's a violent sport and each tackle is intended to hurt the other guy to some degree, simply by definition alone. Ever wonder what happens when two guys running 20 mph straight at one another collide?

 
I don't think Reggie enjoyed the treatment he got from the Ravens yesterday. Kind of looked like he wanted out of the game by the time he was "injured" -- not surprised that he'll be ready to go this week.

 
At first I really thought this thread was about Reggie Bush getting intentionally injured because he sucked yesterday. And I can't help but think that grimace on his face they keep showing is a "owweee mommy, they're hurting me" look. Suck it up kid!

*by intentionally injured, i mean he was "injured" aka faking it

Disagree wholeheartedly. Tackling someone is one thing. Intending to injure is something different.

I agree. Reggie never really got abused at USC like he is getting now. Yesterday it looked like he did not want to be out there.
 
For all of those bashing Reggie, DM didn't exactly do much either yesterday. Perhaps it was just good D from a team coming off of a bye week and bad blocking.

 
You got a problem with a guy on the other team, then knock his block off while the play is live. But wait until he's on the ground with a half dozen guys laying on top of him to take your shot? Hope someone does his knees with a chop block.

Wow .

I think Bush is a wussy , what a bad pick by the Saints.

I think the Texans are better off with Lundy , good that they did nt waste a pick on this loser.

 
There are the realities of things that happen during the game and there are the things you talk about to the press that happen during the game.

It's like a pitcher that beans a guy at the plate because the other pitcher did the same thing to one of his guys. He nails him and when the reporters ask after the game if he meant to hit him, he just shrugs and says, "The pitch got away from me."

What I'm saying is that Scott did what he did, but big :thumbdown: for bragging to the press about it.

 
Maybe the Saints' management paid Scott to do it. An injury saves them the embarrassment of having to bench their million dollar baby.

Who cares if he takes Bush out? Its football! Tackle Bush as hard as any other RB.
 
This is an odd comment by Scott. The tackle was nothing special, just a routine grab around the ankles to keep Reggie from breaking loose. I saw the little twist flourish at the end but I think the sprain occured before that, when he landed awkwardly.

Bart Scott is pretty good. He and Adalius Thomas had Bush bottled up all day yesterday.

lolFunny considering the comment made earlier that "Bart Scott probably doesn't know the meaning of 'aka'..."I thought to myself... he seemed to use it correctly... infact, it's pretty hard to use incorrectly. :D ...and to those who think "football isn't for pu$$ies", well thanks tough guy... but when a player comes out and ADMITS he was trying to intentionally injure a player, he's just asking to get fined.

Anything after the whistle is uncalled for. My mistake as I thought that this was during the tackle, not afterward.During the tackle, I dont know many defensive players that on some level dont want to hurt the guy... but ankle twists, if that is what this was, are weak.

If it's a legal tackle, I think its pretty much all fair game. I mean, its not "war war" out there, but theres an aspect of it. Football can be brutal, thats a part of the game. But again, once the whistle blows, cant stand for any bs.

Yeah, I like how Bart Scott is acting like he's some big tough guy after he twisted the ankle of someone that was already on the ground after the whistle was down.For his next act maybe he can kick a 3-legged dog that's on a leash and brag about it.
 
Society can only be thankful that Scott chooses to unleash his personal "monster" between the white lines. Just as a good actor will draw on some painful experience in his past to help him express that emotion on camera, Scott stores away slights and disrespect to fester until they're needed to further motivate him."Who the hell are you?" Tampa Bay (now Oakland) DT Warren Sapp once asked him."I'm Bart Scott, (bleep)," Scott replied. "Deal with it."

Anyone who thinks defenders do not try to injure offensive players is just being naive.

Why do you think defenders go for the kill shot instead of wrap up tackling anyway?

Bush fans = :cry:

Defense = :football:

Did you read the thread, AT ALL ?? No one is arguing that point -- it's the "after the play is done" extra stuff, and bragging about it on national radio that is way over the line.

You clearly have never played football before if you think the punishment stops at the whistle. What do you think they do in those piles, swap dinner plans?

yes but it is completely idiotic to brag about it in the media. Next week what do you think is going to happen? Who do you think the refs are going to be paying extra attention to? Just stupid to call extra attention to yourself, make yourself a target for potential flags.
