Aloha, Mr. Mooreman!
We interrupt our regularly scheduled off-season recovery program to bring you the following video clip from the Pro Bowl, care of my buddy Arik from back home & the website Foul Balls.
Apparently, the game WAS worth watching if you caught this on-field meeting between Bills punter Brian Mooreman and Redskin safety Sean Taylor. The replay with the Japanese broadcast audio is just the icing on the cake.
I have it on good authority that the last bit translates in English as, “welcome to the jungle, b$%@h! You’re gonna die!”
The first thing I thought of when I saw this video was, “who the heck runs a fake punt in the Pro Bowl?” The answer of course, Bill Belichick. That’s when I realized the move made perfect sense. Why not get the Pro Bowl punter from one of your divisional rival’s decapitated? That way, the team then has to waste free agent money or a draft pick on his replacement. My god, the man really is a genious!
The more obvious question here is; did Sean Taylor forget what game he was playing in, or is it simply an unwritten ‘man law’ in the NFL: if you’ve got a free shot at a kicker or punter, by golly, set your phasers on ‘obliterate’?
I’m guessing it was a combination of the two.
