Gallimore ejection

[Bullet22]

Always the last guy...He pulled up on the qb....

Ya, that was more of a "get off me" move. It wasn't a full fledged kick. we are being way overdramatic about it. Should not have done it but it's really not a big deal.

Agree, not as big a deal as some are making of it.

Huh? I missed this...........either way, I don't think he's a dirty player but can expect a call from the league

Cameras Caught Cowboys Player’s Dirty Move That Rightfully Led to Ejection in Closing Seconds of Blowout​

• KEVIN SWEENEY

Cowboys defensive tackle Neville Gallimore was ejected late in Sunday’s blowout win over the Giants after kicking Giants lineman Justin Pugh in the groin.

Gallimore kicked Pugh as the journeyman offensive lineman went to help up QB Tommy DeVito. It was a blatantly obvious dirty play, and referees quickly picked up on it, ejecting Gallimore from the game.

It was a borderline late hit on Devitto, so Pugh went over and shoved Gallimore while he was on the ground.

Gallimore should have ignored the push, but it pissed him off so he kicked Pugh in the nuts.

Sorry, but that is a total biotch move..............it is "bro code" from the time you are in kindergarten that you dont ever hit another guy in the junk, EVER!

You can punch each other in the face, give each other a black eye, bust a lip open, give each other a punch to the ribs, a stomach shot, even a kidney shot is all fair game, but hits to the nuts are off limits, PERIOD.

With today's technology, there are several former players that would have had a much shorter career due to suspensions.

Bill Romanowski, Conrad Dobler, etc.

Looked like he was going for the stomach, as that's where most of the force seemed to be. It looked like he barely touched Pugh's cup.

While Gallimore was rightfully ejected, we don't know why he was slow to get off the QB. There is no justification for attacking a player after the play is over, so Pugh wasn't justified. That should have been a flag, offset by Gallimore's action after. Both should get fines.

^ This. I agree with this 100 percent. I'd bet teams preach over and over "don't retaliate" because the second guy is always the one caught. They try to instill that, but players lose their heads in the heat of battle sometimes. This was a brain fart by Gallimore. He deserved to be kicked out, but I do hope the league fines Pugh as well.
