Listen to me carefully when I tell you this.
If a grown man puts his finger in my temple and tries to talk to me like I am a child I am swinging.
The only thing Jonathan Allen did wrong was missing the punch.
It has been a rough week for the Football Team.
In a sign the worst of the Washington Football Team’s coronavirus outbreak may be behind it, the team activated starting cornerback Kendall Fuller, starting safety Kam Curl, backup quarterback Kyle Allen and backup linebacker Milo Eifler from the covid-19 reserve list Friday while placing defensive end Nate Orchard on it.
In a blow to the defense, the team also placed safety/linebacker Landon Collins (foot) and reserve defensive lineman Daniel Wise (knee) on injured reserve, meaning their regular seasons are over.
Washington also placed reserve safety, special-teamer and team captain Deshazor Everett on the non-football injury list after he was hospitalized Thursday night following a fatal car crash, according to the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Department.
Washington’s covid list, once at 26 players, is down to six — though two of the players who remain on it, right guard Brandon Scherff and linebacker Cole Holcomb, are starters.
The team also announced five coaches would miss the game at Dallas on Sunday night because of covid protocols. Four of them — Chris Harris (defensive backs), Brent Vieselmeyer (assistant defensive backs/nickel), Vincent Rivera (defensive quality control) and Cristian Garcia (defensive coaching intern) — missed the loss at Philadelphia on Tuesday, while Jim Hostler (senior offensive assistant) was a new addition.
Both Allen and Payne went to Alabama, so they aren’t used to losing like this. Payne was 100% in the wrong and should apologize to Allen. Even if they are friends, you don’t put your hands on a man like that and think you won’t get punched in the face.
I would have done the same thing.
