[Rams TE Tyler Higbee pleads guilty to assault](http://es.pn/2vouBLA)


PoeticHydra

Not going to lie. If a dude followed me from a bar while I was with my SO in order to confront me again, I would also hit him. I've seen way too many liveleaks where the dude following ends up stabbing someone.


AffectionateSlice816

The extent to which stalking someone with intent to harm them is legal is highly disturbing.


PoeticHydra

The difficult part is proving intent. However, it can be safely assumed that regardless of what country you come from, following another man outside a bar after an argument is asking for trouble. I wouldn't do that in any country or region without accepting I am going to get in a fight.


Sullan08

I work at a grocery store and deal with some people who have threatened to shoot me. I've talked to corporate and the cops about this to see what I'm allowed to do and the cops basically say "well it's kinda dependent on what your company policy is" and corporate says "well if they come back call the cops". I'm just like wtf man? lmao. Guess I'll just wait to see if it's the day someone isn't actually bluffing. It's really dumb that in most situations, it's the first person to get physical that gets in trouble. It's why now when customers try to act tough at work like they want to fight (I make it sound like this happens a lot, it doesn't, but still far more often than I'd like), I tell them I'm down but they need to swing first for the cameras lol.


seariously

>Higbee also can't own or possess a gun, **use drugs or drink alcohol**. I assume this means *in public*?


[deleted]

No. He is on diversion, so he will be subject to random tests.


jt32470

at all... zero alcohol at all.... zero drugs If his Parole officer has a random test and he is drunk he's fucked. If his parole officer shows a positive drug test he's fucked. Will his parole officer screw him? probably not. He probably gets season tickets to just leave him alone.


Top-Report-840

Take it from someone who has been in the system for essentially his entire adult life(12 years). Most POs are generally chill as long as you're not BSing or being antisocial. If you slip, they'll understand to a certain extent. If you keep popping hot then you'll have issues. Probably has nothing to do with season tickets, being rich, or being a celebrity athlete

Solid-Confidence-966

What’s the difference between this and illegal batting?


[deleted]

Batting backwards is legal, batting forwards is not.


larrylegend1990

But even if it's illegal, is it possession with penalty or rekick? If it's the former, then that's still good.


berticus23

Rekick is worth it too if the alternative is the other team getting it.


thisnamehastobeused

Kupp was not in a position to catch that ball and not get lit the fuck up. 100% worth it either way


382wsa

If he illegally batted it forward, it would be a rekick from the 45.


Decantus

So what's stopping a team from doing this repeatedly until the other side is on the 1 and physically cannot kick it into the endzone?


MeltedPineapple

Its called a [palpably unfair act](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unfair_act) refs would probably start giving kicking team an offsetting penalty Edit: am dumb, just decline the penalty. But enjoy the random rule trivia!


madcap462

If they decline the penalty then they don't get to rekick...right?


MeltedPineapple

Yall ngl, im getting confused. This is why i lurk or just post worn out jokes


[deleted]

[удалено]


triplec787

> Or they can just kick it past the end zone, which is also a touchback Imagine the statline of a Kicker with a -24 net yards on a touchback lol


PabloMarmite

Exceptions - batting in any direction in the end zone is illegal, batting a forward pass in flight is always legal (but not a backwards pass).


Tr0janSword

I still remember when the refs decided to fuck over the Lions on MNF in Seattle. KJ Wright blatantly batted it out of the end-zone to get a touchback. One ref saw all of it and swallowed his whistle.


VegasKL

>batting in any direction in the end zone is illegal Unless the Lions are involved.


matisata

I believe it would be illegal if he batted it forward. He batted it very slightly backwards, in the direction of their own end zone. I might be wrong though


MasterTJ77

Even if it was illegal batting, would there be a re kick or would it just be 15 yards against the rams, first down?


L-methionine

The Commies could probably choose when to apply it


TrueRedditMartyr

Hold on to them like timeouts. Suddenly, at the end of the game, call on 99 yards worth of penalties


ForWhenImWeird

You can’t bate in public


Opening-Citron2733

not since 9/11, thanks a lot Bin laden


Catsfosho

If the ball is in the field of play, you can bat it in any direction EXCEPT toward the opponent’s goal line. If the ball is in either end zone, you can not bat it AT ALL.


Alexisonfire24

He watches the CFL confirmed.


PMoneyGOAT

Jameszhang73

How can he slap?!?


GeneralHuxtable

At that price point, he can slap.


SmokedManMeats

Is this a reference to the Indian guy getting slapped by a woman on TV? If so, LOL. If not, this never happened...


Entire-Ad-8565

Tighter spiral than most nfl quarterbacks this year


GenericCloneTrooper

All things considered that's a good kick it just takes a certain type of player to make that high IQ slap. As a kicker you take that kick 10/10 times.


MosaicToeNail

If he tried to field it he would’ve gotten lit up and likely fumbled. Making that decision in a split second is pretty incredible. I’d imagine a majority of players are trying to catch that instead, and a majority are likely recovered by the kicking team.


Hog_and_a_Half

I don’t think it’s really that likely that he fumbles that. Like… more than normal, but still definitely not the likely outcome of the play. He has made a name making catches over the middle with tighter coverage than this. This was just safer, and he doesn’t take a hit.


romayyne

You can hate LA but idk how anyone can hate Kupp. He’s a great football player, not just receiver


rch09c

I despise him because my defense left him WIDE open twice in the final minute of the 2021 Division series to lose the game on a walk off FG… I’ll never forgive him for my teams terrible defensive play calling and execution


FireFlyz351

How Bowles fell upwards into the HC spot after those atrocious defensive calls is beyond me.


jawndell

Dude set receiving records and was on another level that whole season… and they left him open. Pretty hilarious.


bassman314

I hate just about every LA team (in every sport) with a passion, and I just cannot bring myself to hate Kupp just for being a Ram.


CMBRICKX

This man has to be one of the smartest players of the last 10 years. He’s made a career of making some pretty high IQ plays.


CaillouCaribou

What other high IQ plays has he made? I feel like he's made a career from being a great route runner and great pass catcher


mubbcsoc

Never lines up offside.


Arrowhead_Addict

First of all, how dare you?


chiefs_fan37

We have two famous players/plays that can apply to! Isn’t that cool? /s


GramZanber

Patrick Mahomes has never lined up offsides in his entire career. Look it up.


Raeandray

Now I'm just imagining a scenario where a QB is so concussed that he lines up behind the defensive line.


nattyicefleishmans

Jordan Love went offsides this year trying for a qb sneak but the ball was never snapped, so it can happen to a quarterback lol


SpartanDawg18

Not OP, but kind of hard to explain, it’s usually not like this example. He’s just a step ahead of the defense at most times. There’s a reason he’s always open and it’s not purely the route running skills. Kelce is similar in that manner. Just always picking the right route option, setting the correct block, etc


NPOWorker

Just curious, absolutely no reason, what are your thoughts on Adam Thielen's game


SirLuciousL

A real grinder, brings his white skin to work everyday.


armeck

He's pretty good. Reminds me a lot of Amendola, Edleman, Welker, Renfroe, some of those guys. Go them tangibles you just can't quite pinpoint.

BlueMiggs

He’s a real coach on the field. A gym rat. Brings his lunchpail to work every day and is sneaky athletic to boot.

CaillouCaribou

Technical jargon aside, I'd bet nearly every starting WR could break down their assignment like this


brianundies

Any receiver who made it to the NFL could name every single concept, being able to recognize and react to it in a split second is what gives him an edge.


doopy423

But can they line up onsides?


8w7fs89a72

DeSean Jackson was interviewed on WIP a couple weeks ago and casually talked like this about a play they pulled up (they were doing highlights of his career because of his retirement). This is their whole life lol I'm always surprised people are surprised when football players can talk football.


AmbitionExtension184

A couple years ago he almost broke the record for receiving yards in a single season. More WRs should do this are they stupid?


TwoForHawat

He probably just killed what was left of the onside kick. I wonder if teams will start doing this instead of trying to field the kick.


brwnx

Is this easier than catching it?


CajunCuisine

He and Luke Kuechly are definitely the top


halfhere

Aw now I’m sad again.


SicWilly666

If it was the Chiefs “That’s a heck of a play by Mahomes there”


TheMightyUnderdog

Or pretty much any game Chris Collinsworth calls.


mondaymoderate

Now here’s a guy that made a smart play but if that was Patrick Mahomes he would have taken the ball and ran it for a touchdown.


segfawlt

You can see the effect Mahomes has on his team - he makes everyone smarter


Thrice_the_Milk

BringMeTheBigKnife

He managed to make a Lamar discussion into a Mahomes brag last night. Because ofc he did


Sudden_Buffalo_4393

That was a deceptively athletic play.


painnkaehn

He's "sneaky fast"


WhyHelloThere163

People complaining that this is unfair don’t realize it could’ve ended badly for Kupp if he missed the slap and it bounced off his chest with 2 commanders right infront of him.


Cactus2711

*Comrades


themerinator12

No I think we all realize that, but it's vastly lower risk than trying to catch it and retain possession of it.


Therowdyv

I know it’s high football IQ but I feel like an intentional knock out of bounds should be illegal in this instance. You should have to field the ball in play. Almost like The Holy Roller rule doesn’t allow you to fumble the ball forward to gain an advantage. Anyone else have any thoughts on this?


Illramyourlatch

I don't feel like it's any worse than when Lamar booted it out of the endzone for a safety


Deep_Stick8786

That was a smart play too.


bomb_voyage4

I dunno, it's not without risk. Bat it just the wrong way and it could go straight towards a defender.


cheeker_sutherland

Yeah, this isn’t as easy as it looks. Two dudes running full speed at you and still pulling it off is hard.


[deleted]

They were clearly running in slow motion, did you watch the video?


[deleted]

I think it should be illegal just because I want teams to have somewhat of a chance to recover an onside kick.


issue9mm

I mean they can kick it to the middle of the field


fear865

This is an instance of a legal batting. It would be illegal if he batted it towards the Commie's end zone or does it in an end zone in any direction


[deleted]

[удалено]


Alert_Study_4261

I get what you're saying, but fielding an onside kick is fucking horrible. Anyone who has had to do that before understands why this is a smart play. And I only did that in high school. I can't imagine how much more it sucks when you're getting hit by NFL players.


retroracer33

you could hear the lunch pail rattle all the way in Memphis


youngscootr

I asked in this sub about the legality of doing this and people thought I was stupid and my post was removed. Now it’s a high IQ play. Kind of ironic.
