The 2011 football season just got more interesting for the Louisiana State University Tigers: there are TV reports out there that starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson was not only involved in a large bar fight in Baton Rouge early Friday morning, but according to witnesses kicked one of the victims in the head. Well, at least he didn’t do something that could damage his throwing hand.
Also likely to face charges for the brawl are freshman wide receiver Jarvis Landry, sophomore offensive tackle Chris Davenport and sophomore linebacker Josh Johns.
Ah, there’s nothing like basket-brawl. Especially when the fighting ends with so many players being ejected that the game ends in a three-on-three. Here’s more from TheHoopDoctors.com (video below):
Apparently European players are taking it to heart when Americans claim that the overseas game just isn’t as physical or tension filled as the NBA. In yet another ugly international incident, upwards of 18 players in the Serbian League Finals were ejected in an unbelievable brawl, which forced Game 2 of the series to be played out as a 3-on-3 match-up in the game’s final minutes.
Just two weeks ago TheHoopDoctors.com brought you a video of the carnage surrounding some irate fans throwing explosive devices at players and referees during the Greek League Finals. Now, a battle royale type melee which would make Vince McMahon of the WWE proud, ensues between the Serbs. All of these unfortunate instances just gives international basketball another black eye for their sport and may facilitate a number of top players like Linus Kleiza and Josh Childress to flee in exodus back towards the NBA.
As for the incident in question, while battling for position for a rebound, two opposing players feet get tangled and both players hit the floor. Apparently one takes offense and takes a swing as both are still on the floor. As both chest bump and sissy slap each-other, after getting back on their feet, benches empty as a vicious array of headlocks and judo jabs ensue before officials can help regain order to the game.
