After a Boise State player tauntingly slapped LeGarette Blount on the chest, Blount reacted by showing him a little chin music.

2. I started to post this, but realized that some mod was just going to bounce it to the sports dungeon

I hope the Boise State player learned that the next time he decides to lay hands on an opponent and start talking shit, he should probably keep his helmet on.
(Oh, yeah. If Tiger Woods ever discovers a cure for cancer, go ahead and post it directly to the "Sports" forum. Trust me, it will wind up there eventually anyhow.)

3. He Plays For Oregon, Not Oregon State

And he should have just walked away.

6. Die-hard Duck fan here who finds Blount's behavior inexcusable.

Yeah, the Boise State player was talkin' smack to him, but so the fuck what. Hitting someone is just wrong.

7. Maybe Ohio State will name an athletic facility after him? n/t

8. If it throws punches like a duck ...

9. I'm old enough to remember when networks would pan away from a fight on the field...

...whether it was a football row or a clearing of the benches in baseball. Networks considered it "unsportsmanlike" and felt it set a bad example for young athletes.

All that changed with the advent of instant replay and the "entertainment factor" involved. Not only did we see the fight but we saw it several times...

11. Blount has been suspended for the rest of the season.

I say, good. Now I think he needs some anger management classes. His behavior after the punch was almost worse, the way he was trying to get to the fans. He apparently even hit one of his own team mates. Kid needs to grow up a whole bunch.
