Mike Smith to be suspended?

by Teamfastpitch on Nov 9, 2009 11:22 PM EST Comment 27 comments

The hub bub is that Mike Smith and his bald assistant(does anyone know his name?) are in line for fines and possible suspension from the league office for behavior unbecoming the NFL. Here is the video:

As the video shows, Mike Smith definitely wasn't trying to break up a fight between 30 Falcons players and Meangelo Hall. He was telling Meangelo to get back on the ******* field!

Unfortunately, Meangelo had some choice words in order to incense Mike Smith and reportedly called him a "Fat f***!"

It honestly was a major highlight of the season for many of us and hopefully will be a unifying moment for this team if they want to get back into the playoff hunt.

It's great for firing up the team

But I find myself wishing the whole thing hadn’t happened. It’ll be tough not to have him on the sidelines if something does come down the pike.

He won't be suspended

Not a chance … THE only way his actions warrant a suspension is if he touched Sheangelo intending to hurt him. If (1) he was only to trying to separate people or (more likely) (2) his arm flail towards the end was only him trying to pull away from whoever was holding him, then this will all conclude a fine.

I’m glad Smitty did it. Heck, I wish Smitty had kneed him in the unmentionables. Go SMITTY!

At least we know Mike Smith stands up for his players

Unlike our previous coach. Imagine what he would’ve done…fill in the blanks.

I watched the video several times

And it appears that smitty might have hit him with an elbow, but I dont think it was intentional. I saw this post at Riggos Rag. A Redskins site obviously. I posted a comment there as Kenrock.

The elbow fling was him pulling away from the guy holding him back

yeah

like I said, unintentional. I wish someone had clocked the guy to be honest.

Oh man.

I was yelling, “HIT HIM!!!! HIT HIM!!!!”

Of course there would’ve been some hammers laid down, but it would’ve been so worth it. They were talking so much junk earlier in the week, they almost deserved it.

yeah

this guy is one of the guys on my top ten list of kicks to the balls. I have a top ten of guys who if I ever see them in public I am gonna kick em straight up in the balls. He is currently number 8 on the list.

You've got a top 10 list?

I dont think

anyone on here would ever make the list. It is mostly celeb and sports types. There is one former boss on the list though.

A fine on Smith?

I don’t think so. A coach is not fined or suspended for defending his players. Try raising a rabble somewhere else, like Hogs Heaven. That ploy won’t work here.

You have opinions. We all do. Some of yours may have to do with the Falcons. Sign up today and share them.

I don;t see anything worthy of a fine on Smith

We all know Hall is an a-hole…always talking junk. Love it though from Smith…tell it like it is!

I expect the league to give Mike Smith a bonus for telling MeAngelo to go the hell away....

If he was just trying to get Landry out of the pile as he said, why was it Landry that came back in to rescue him. What a dumb b——….

Even if Smitty crossed the line

(and I don’t think he did) suspension of a head coach is a very drastic move. Its not like baseball where a manager gets gets kicked out and the team runs on autopilot. A HC in football is crucial to in – game decisions even if he isn’t play calling. It would be a crippling blow. For that reason, along with the fact that the video evidence is not definitive and hall was obviously trying to start something, nothing will come of it
