Jamal Adams Put Pat The Patriot In The Hospital When He Tackled Him At The Pro Bowl
ESPN – Jets S Jamal Adams said Thursday afternoon that he was not trying to injure the Patriots mascot when he tackled him during the NFL Pro Bowl Skills Challenge on Wednesday. Adams said he was told the person inside the mascot costume was hospitalized on Thursday morning, but the NFL has not yet confirmed that information. Adams said the NFL is not happy with him because of the incident. “He [the mascot] was running around and everybody was booing him, so I said, ‘You know what? Let me go tackle him,’ Adams said. “I didn’t hit him that hard, man. All jokes aside, I didn’t hit him that hard. I don’t know what’s really going on, but they did tell me he’s in the hospital. My intention was never to hurt him. it was all about just a joke but I definitely want to check on him and make sure everything is good. At the end of the day we were out here just having fun and it wasn’t nothing intentionally to try to hurt the guy.”
Dave blogged this yesterday and I couldn’t agree more with what he said, what the hell is Pat the Patriot doing at the Pro Bowl in Orlando or wherever that thing is? If you want to see Pat the Patriot after the season has ended for almost everybody then buck up and go to the Super Bowl. Pat is a man of elegance, he doesn’t belong hanging out with poor losers in fucking Florida. It’s borderline slander to make him show up at that thing.
Having said that, never be a mascot, kids. Because you know what? I still kinda think this is funny. Putting on a mascot suit is inviting anyone to beat you up and people will still laugh. By all accounts Adams is a moron and a buffoon thinking that a professional athlete getting a running start and tackling an intern was just in fun. He’s shocked that a dude who lives in the gym and tackles freaks of nature for a living hurt a college sophmore by hitting him after a running start. But despite all that, it’s still kinda funny. I mean look at this picture of Pat completely off the ground and tell me you didn’t laugh a bit.
You did. Don’t lie.
Just hope Pat gets himself a good lawyer and sues Adams’ balls off so the Patriots can own the Jets both literally and figuratively.
