This Shit Should NEVER Happen
so during the Saturday Night battle for the SEC West between LSU and Auburn, LSU's superstar tackle Glenn Dorsey got fucked up on an illegal chop block by Auburn freshman lineman Lee Ziemba and Chaz Ramsey. it's one thing to play hard and try and knock a guy out but it's a totally other thing to go after a guy's knee...especially a guy who is gonna be a top 5 pick in the NFL Draft and the leader of the LSU Defense. as an Auburn fan i was totally sickened by the play. it's dirty and it's wrong and it makes the team look like assholes. also it was completely stupid, considering that Dorsey wasn't dominating the game by any means and all it really did was manage to spark the LSU defence to shut down Auburn for most of the second half until the final Auburn drive where they took back the lead. i'm of the opinion that Tubberville should sit both players for a week and that O-Line coach Hugh Nall should be either fined or suspended. This is the kind of bullshit that comes back on you in a big way....Karma is a bitch. if this had been done to Quentin Groves by LSU, i'd have been calling for fucking blood and as a non-thug apologists i can't look the other way and pretend this wasn't a despicable act.

As a thug apologist, I must correct your perception of the ethos of thug apologists. Thug apolgists apologize only for actions committed outside the boundaries of the playing field. While playing the game, players have are bound by the rules and social norms of the game. Trying to hurt someone illegally violates both a rule and a social norm, and I am against players trying to harm other players (unless it involves a certain Bama lineman getting hit in the head with his helmet in an act that gave Bama 15 yards and only stung a bit, as he re-entered the game shortly thereafter.) However, leg whips and chop blocks are bad practice and I loathe their existence. I was really angry when I found out that the former o.l. coach for the Falcons encouraged leg whips, and now I'm glad that dude is probably working at a k-mart in Suwanee. On the other hand, I always admire the defensive guys that are so innovative that they make a formally legal maneuver illegal by perfecting it. Roy Williams and Night Train Lane are awesome for their contributions to the catalog of defensive penalties, but continuing to commit these acts can be both harmful to offensive players and one's team alike, so further commital of egregious penalites is henceforth frowned upon in the football sphere.
