Like I said, the officials were terrible. Inarguable. They missed OBVIOUS penalties on both teams. Porter is a known scumbag who does this kind of stuff. Brown has no history of faking injury, and a history of trying to play no matter what... I wouldn't just assume he did that.
3. Jones is sticking to his guns, but changing his story. He's adding details, like the wink, saying he's "good friends with AB" (which is funny, because the first time he accused him of flopping, he called him Antonio Bryant, who doesn't know their friend's name?)... in short, if your kid came to you with this story as an excuse, tell me those two added details aren't red flags. They literally sound like the details I used to add when I was 7 or 8 and caught in a lie.
I'm not trying to claim Jones is some horrible person, I'm saying that for saying these things, I'm saying he should probably quit while he's ahead. There have been people in protocol that did have a concussion cleared in under a week, so even if he plays, it doesn't vindicate him. And there are some whom it takes weeks for... in which case he looks like a complete jerk. There is no "win" in what he's doing - this topic is just a hope that he sees that.
To be clear hear: You asked for a reason, assuming Brown was faking, why he would lay on the ground so long. I gave you a reason why. You are now saying that accusing people of things because they might be true is a terrible way to go through life... I don't think that's the appropriate response to answering your hypothetical.
I will now leave this debate. I just don't think this is devolving in a productive direction. (not bashing you. it just feels like we've hit the point where we lose sight of the forest through the trees, sight of the trees through the leaves, etc...).
