Lol I hadn't thought about that. Damn it Jones! [Reply]
To be honest, the more I look at it, the more it looks like a push rather than a punch. The lineman has his arm held, and jones initially puts his hand on the should pad, his hand slips off the shoulder pad and hits the helmet.
Beat me to it

IMO, I don't think that he knew that #60 (Morse) was the guy who pushed him on his shoulder, he was just throwing a punch to where he thought the contact to his shoulder him came from. Should not have done it, but I get where he was coming from. Regardless, he deserves a fine for being stupid. [Reply]

Yeah, true. Hadn't thought about it.
And even if they TRIED to suspend him for the Super Bowl, he could just file an appeal and wait to have it heard before a board for a hearing. If I recall correctly with the new CBA, the commish doesn't have unilateral control over discipline and suspensions anymore. I believe they changed that protocol. [Reply]
The other images of this showing 76 turning away and turning back really hast with his hand going towards Jones side. I'd love to see another view to see if he actually takes a cheap shot at him there and this is retaliation. I'm not sure that it is, I just would like to see the video. [Reply]

He does seem to have Jones' arm held. I wish the gif was longer so we could see the lead up to what happened. [Reply]

I also think that the punch was not what knocked him down, rather it was Jones' huge schlong...but you'd need another angle to be sure...:-) [Reply]
