Guys if a full grown football player, who lift weights and in perfect shape hits you even with a helmet on,will hurt you. Even if a regular person hits you, you will feel it. Get your hand on a football helmet, put it on, and let someone hit you,then tell me it doesn't hurt
So true. i played in high school and my whole body was covered in bruises after games as a full-back. You don't feel it much during the game, but you sure do after
Punching the helmet is just a reflex action. You're all worked up and mad and want to fight, and the natural thing is to throw a punch. You forget the helmet is there.
You should see the amount of fines these players end up paying. Even something that wasnt called during the game there are people who review each game and after the season ends you get a package showing how much you owe in fines
The game you were thinking about with people swinging the helmet was the Steelers vs the Browns. Myles Garrett swung Mason Rudolph's helmet at him and caught him in the head.
Good to hear john maddens. Voice he was the best. I loved that guy my wife hated his voice. It would drive her crazy so she always went shopping until after game and return home. Lol
Back in the 70s and 80s, when the Dallas Cowboys were "America's Team", the Steelers and the Redskins were bitter rivals of the Cowboys. It was deeply intense.
Daz overthinking again.. punching someone in the helmet isn’t a gesture.. 🤦♂️🤷♂️ it’s called being a really, really really mad that’s literally it.. when you’re that mad, you don’t care. I played hockey my entire life and most people don’t care what they hit when they are that infuriated.
This is a little glimpse into the start of some of those big cheap shots you see. Teams start to chirp back and forth at each other. One team hits someone harder than usual. Then the other team retaliates with a cheap shot that will send someone to the hospital.
As a person that has punched and been punched with helmets and heads. Strangely enough i broke my hand punching a skull not a helmet.... but getting punched with a helmet to me anyways is worse than getting punched in the face. The face i absorb it and yeah it hurts but just that part hurts. Getting punched with a helmet your whole head is ringing bc the helmet disperses the energy through the whole head and your ears start ringing... just my opinion but it's worse with a helmet.
Most of these is a cornerback shutting down a wide receiver and talking shit to him until he snaps. The best ones just stand there and take a beating happily knowing the other team is going to pay a big price.
I would say Raiders probably have the longest hatred from their non fan base/ other teams. in the 70'80's they made a reputation to be a hard hitting, break the rules type team, that is still with them today. I really thought that a play from three years ago, steeler at browns, helmet pulled off QB, then hit on head with his own helmet.. bench clearing roucous.
That’s entirely out of context. These are just athletes with their tempers and testosterone running rampant. You may need to rewatch that bit to understand what he was saying.
