Whoa. Per Sheftie.

Posted by Spawn Solo (aka Spawn) Dec 21 '15, 11:33

In pregame warmups, at least one Panthers official, and possibly more, carried black baseball bats on to the field and were motioning with them towards Odell Beckham Jr. while making comments to him, per a league source. Norman later grabbed the black bat and was swinging it in pregame warmups – which, by the way, an NFL Films camera captured. Beckham, according to another source, felt threatened and it helped put him in a certain frame of mind. It does not excuse what he did during the course of the game, but it does explain what led up to the battle that still is the talk of the league today.

Is there a recap of what happened? - JaxSanta Dec 21, 12:07 2
- Odell got three personal fouls. There was tons of physicality between the two players. On one play OBJ launched at Norman helmet-helmet. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 21, 12:25 1
  - Thanks. -- nm - JaxSanta Dec 21, 12:31
offs. -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 21, 12:02
I keep reading that as Sheltie -- nm - zork Dec 21, 11:55
Safe to say they were really trying to intimidate him, get in his head -- nm - Christmas boorito Dec 21, 11:53
A DB with a broken leg for the Panthers is saying they carry the bat to represent him being out there with them. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 21, 11:50 4
- thankfully his nickname wasn't "shotgun" -- nm - Little Drummer Beak Dec 21, 11:54
- he's the Batman -- nm - ML Dec 21, 11:51
- Too late. #BatGate has begun. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 11:51 1
  - This is Nixon's true legacy -- nm - zork Dec 21, 11:54
Suspend them both. -- nm - Inigo Dec 21, 11:43
the refs did a terrible job not just during the game, but pre-game as well to allow that -- nm* - Little Drummer Beak Dec 21, 11:42 2
- do the refs have jurisdiction over pre-game warmups? -- nm - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 21, 11:43 1
  - I would assume, they can call penalties for the proper wearing of socks so why not :) -- nm - Little Drummer Beak Dec 21, 11:44
that changes everything. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 21, 11:40 15
- Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 11:41 14
  - I mean he's supposed to be professional and let the play on the field beat them but I completely understand his reaction. It's asking too much. - Mel Profit Dec 21, 11:43 13
    - I disagree 100%. But it shouldn't be an issue today. He should have been ejected way before this escalated. - ML Dec 21, 11:52 3
      - Why does it seem like the entire squad of officials should be fired after this year? -- nm - Shaun Dec 21, 11:55 2
        
        because they all suck ass so hard their faces are in a constant state of pucker. - Black Ops Deevs Dec 21, 11:59 1
        
        Yeah. Why your IM isn't true is absolutely perplexing. -- nm - ML Dec 21, 12:01
    - Eh. Did he really feel threatened? Did he think they were going to meet him out back after the game? He had a target on his back as a player, but - pmb Dec 21, 11:50 8
      - His reaction is based on the actions of others. One doesn't happen without the other. - Mel Profit Dec 21, 11:56 7
        
        Yeah, I just don't buy it. There's no question they were trying to get inside his head, but come on. They're not really taking bats to him. I'm not - pmb Dec 21, 12:05 2
        
        and how does one get to remain in a game after 3 personal fouls? Ridic. -- nm - Black Ops Deevs Dec 21, 12:06 1
        
        right, the penalties are laughable. - merry xmas and happy znu year Dec 21, 12:22
        
        Never forget. -- (link) - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 11:58 [youtube] 3
        
        Or Tom Brady in a turkey costume. Who wouldn't be afraid for their life? -- nm - Black Ops Deevs Dec 21, 12:04 2
        
        Whenever I scare Logan and he complains, I show him that pic. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 12:06 1
        
        I may be laughing a little too much at this. -- nm - Black Ops Deevs Dec 21, 12:07
Yeah. This morning on Mike and Mike, Chris Carter said that........ - Volnelk Dec 21, 11:38 2
- agreeance to your im. he's just pissy cause ODB kicked his ass all over the field -- nm - Little Drummer Beak Dec 21, 11:39
- I heard that, but this is an entire new level. -- nm - Spawn Solo Dec 21, 11:39
