Behind the Human Curtain

0

We all know it happens. We've heard the stories of never wishing your worst enemy the fate that those at the bottom of these piles are dealt.The ball comes loose and one brave soul or unlucky obliged player falls on  it.  We know who fell on it first but the ensuing seconds make it hard to watch for anyone that has ever heard an NFL films documentary. Piles of 250+ pound men (and that plus sign should be followed by an infinity sign for guys like Andre Smith) serve as curtain for all who watch, and the audience is only left to wait anxiously as they prepare backstage. What I mean by prepare backstage is: poke, bend, spit and punch each other behind this human curtain (where no eyes wander) to come up with one piece of leather that this poor soul is expected to hold on to. Saturday something happened that should not have been seen but nevertheless Youtube has us covered. Someone forgot to close the curtain and Brandon Spikes was exposed. The thing is, this was not a loose ball and there was no need to but Brandon took it upon himself to perform a solo. Florida is good; This in no way is a knock to their overall team. They have a streaky offense, with Percy leaving a void at the play-maker position, and a great great defense that will keep them in every single game. Now after watching this video I can confidently tell you that it is much easier to play defense when the running back is blind. Brandon, you are an amazing linebacker with first round talent; Was that necessary?! My last question is...Would you rather someone purposely stomp on your forearm with there cleats or would you rather have someone stick there fingers as far as they can into your eye sockets? Yeah, Ill take the Marcus Vick punishment as well! Look how low one move can stoop you Mr. Spikes. (from 25-29 second mark on the video)
