Why hasn't ESPN jumped on this?

[BoysRule2]

Whenever Roy horsecollars people(or even just SUPPOSEDLY does so, when he didn't), it gets 24/7 national sports media coverage.

However-they've said NOTHING about LaJuan Ramsey's cheap shot on Julius that COULD have paralized him. And they've said NOTHING about Andy Reid's comments condoning it.

Why's that??

"The thing he was doing was, he was trying hard to get to that spot and get there fast. He tried to make something happen," Reid said. "He ended up being late by a tick and you can't do that . . . at least he was trying to get there and hustle and be part of that play."

A couple of things...One, I agree, ESPN did nothing to highlight that play by Ramsey and I believe they didn't for one simple but pathetic reason...JJ wasn't hurt...Pathetic, but likely to be the truth here...Had JJ gotten hurt, it'd be all over the media I'm sure...In particular, had he gotten paralyzed or something close to that, there would be a lot of attention...Which, of course, is rather pathetic considering it was sheer good fortune (Dumb luck really) that JJ didn't get severely or critically injured.

The other thing is that while Reid's comments may been hard to decipher, his actions were not...Ramsey never saw the field again after that hit (Apparently, it's not the clown's first infraction...He's done these things before)...He was benched after that cheap shot, whether it came from Reid or Jimmy Johnson is unclear...Still, I believe that underscores what the coaching staff of the Eagles thought of it.

And again, what goes around, comes around...Ramsey is looking at being on the receiving end of a nice injury in the future :bastid:

I guess I missed the part where Reid condoned the hit...

Eagle took many cheap shots....it looked there was ahand holding JJ's head up so Ramesy could slam him into the helmet. The Eagle were using alot cheap shots and lost like loser do....
