I think they're both a couple dumb jocks who embarrassed themselves and their universities. In general, I don't think too much of the judgment of football players as playing a game that puts your long-term physical and mental health in jeopardy is pretty stupid in the first place. Dumb people making dumb decisions when they're jacked up on at least adrenaline/endorphins... who'd have thunk it? STOMP
That RB is a douchebag and deserves to be kicked off the team. Trash talking happens in football. I would have been ok with it if the RB just got in his face or even pushed the dude down, hell even a slap to the head would have been fine if the Boise St player had a helmet on....slight disaplinary action would have been deserved but nothing too big. What he did is NOT ok. Even after the initial punch it looks like he was fighting his teammates and would have kicked that fans ass if several people werent holding him back. I dont have a team in college football, no alterior motives for my stance. That was bullshit thuggery
I actually feel bad for Chip, which is hard to believe. I think what many people (especially non-Ducks) forget is that Blount has already had several run-ins with Chip. I think this was just the last straw. Should people get second chances? Absolutely. Maybe even third chances. But I think Blount was perpetually finding himself in Chip's doghouse. Personally I think he should've been suspended 1/2 the season and then come back and had the tightest leash on him you could find. But I would imagine Chip is a little tired of having Rolaids as his after-dinner mint.
I feel bad for Chip too, you could actually feel in his voice, how hard it was for him to have to do this to a kid too.
2-3 game suspension would have been more appropriate than the full season. unless he's been in previous trouble with the team and this added to everything else is enough to just sit him down for the year.
