Two Nasty Cheapies
Our first cheap shot candidates from the postseason. The top video is rather disturbing and it comes from the Clemson-Auburn matchup in the Chick-fil-A Bowl. Clemson defensive tackle Dorell Scott briefly engages guard Tyronne Green high before shedding that block. He then penetrates the line of scrimmage and is chop blocked by Ryan Pugh. Every football fan in the land should be outraged at this, especially considering that Auburn did the same thing in October to Louisiana State's Glenn Dorsey. Scott left the game and at last report had suffered only a sprained ankle. It could have been much, much worse.
The cheapie below is from the Hawaii-Georgia Sugar Bowl. Keenan Jones of Hawaii tries to take the head off Mikey Henderson of Georgia, then celebrates wildly. Not cool. Can we say 41-10?
Later this month, we will post the finalists for the cheap shot of the year and ask you to vote. If you're new to the site, here is the link to the Cheap Shots of 2006.
Our thanks to Hans and Lolaroe for their help.
