You can't sit here typing saying Jones shouldn't have had a natural, heat of the moment reaction even though a majority of us on these boards have probably had a "heat of the moment" reaction for something less provoking. Albeit it probably isn't pushing someone's head into their helmet slightly, but then again how many are getting chopped in the throat? Cmon shit happens. He's a human. Just because he's a professional athlete or someone in a public spotlight you can't forget he's still a human. The league isn't punishing him more than the fine. I think that speaks for itself. It's a physical sport. if younger kids aren't supposed act like that then it's up to the parents and coaches to teach them and coach them.
Yes it was a heat of the moment, it doesn't make it any less worthy to warrant what should've been an ejection and a 1 game suspension. What Cooper did was illegal, but what Adam did as a reaction was much worse and I can't defend him removing a players helmet and using it against himself as a weapon. Or the punishment for that matter, which by the way, most of you were trashing the NFL discipline system one way or another recently.
