Brian Robison fined for kicking his “sweet spot”

[greenandgold]

LOL, can't say I've had the experience. But I know from some guy friends who had it happen to them, well lets just say it's not a good feeling.

So, should the league make up a new fine/ penalty for one player kicking another in the crotch?

I would like an instant ejection. with a suspension thrown in after, yes.

Followed by a firing squad.
And by firing I don't mean a Donald Trump kind of firing.

Yes, that should carry a most sever sentence. I mean in a worst case scenario it could severely limit his family tree.

I'm a guessing you may think that way because you've never been a guy that was kicked in the crotch....unless you had a former life.

I know I have. It's why I wear a cup when sparring in karate. You just never know if a kick is going to miss. And I believe most players on NFL teams wear them as well. But I could be wrong. Was Langs voice at a higher pitch after the game? That would tell you if he had one or not.

When the man gets "kicked/lands-on-pipe/tree-branch with the legs open using his nuts to take the blow" thing they do in slapstick movies, I never once ever found that to be funny.
It's over used so it gets old really fast and how the heck is something so painful supposed to be funny?

I haven't read this whole thread so maybe this was already address but during the twitter exchange brian robinson said that he wasn't intending the kick to land on his nuts...but he WAS intending to kick him. Thats what he implied. Who kicks someone else on a football field? Honestly thats weak s***. Just because TJ is cool with it doesn't mean there shouldn't be a fine or even a suspension. This is different from the woodson punch because woodson socked a guy in the gut. If you want an EXTREME example of this its the difference between driving drunk and crashing into an empty house and driving drunk and killing someone. Both are wrong but one deserves a way worse penalty.

I take nut shots very serious.

Really Serious.

GO PACK GO

Hmpf....

Not enough....imo

Bet he thinks they are worth more. I know mine are.

I wanted to give you a "like" for that but wasn't sure about the implications.

None. I won't hold it against you.

 

[Helmets]

You meant hold "them" against you...

 

[Packers_89]

That is fine. I don't think Lang's balls are destroyed or anything. This is enough to let Robinson know that there will be no funny business tolerated by the NFL.

 

[13 Times Champs]

At least Lang had a set.

These guys are funny, watch the whole video;

And GreenBayGal was worried about "implications".

Key word, HAD.

 

[longtimefan]

merged two threads and changed title of original...This way people know there was a fine

Yeah he is speaking with a higher pitched voice now.

I heard a radio talk show guy say that the kick was the closest Robinson got to a sack all day...
