Richard Seymour Does America A Favor And Punches Ben Roethlisberger

by David Fucillo • Nov 21, 2010 6:45 PM PST

The Oakland Raiders took an ugly beating today and things definitely got out of control, highlighted by Richard Seymour hitting Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger in the face with an open hand. It was a stupid move by Seymour and got him ejected from the game, but I know a lot of people enjoyed the punch very much.

Richard Seymour

The Raiders’ Richard Seymour should not be commended for his action today, he should be chastised. He was ejected from the game because his behavior was unprofessional, unsportsmanlike and juvenile. The Raiders, with their bad-bay, ghetto attitude, are a cesspool in the armpit of the NFL. That is why they will never be an elite NFL team like the Steelers. Everybody in the country knows that the Raiders are a slum football team except for some misguided Bay-area fans and some gang-bangers from LA. Seymour should be ejected from football altogether!

Facts don't support you

While, talk about foot in mouth disease. Ben claims he didn’t say anything to Seymour but was talking to his teammates (Kemoeatu and his other line men). Even Seymour himself says he doesn’t remember what, if anything, was said but instead clearly indicates it was because Ben got physically close and or bumped him (as Ben was moving up to celebrate with his other team mates). Seymour said he was reacting because Ben “ran up on him.”

In sum, the accounts, including by Seymour himself, does not support your “vision” of what happened. So how do you think that makes you look? Do you really want people to say good job? Great analysis? Do you really don’t think it makes you subject for getting some of your smack back at you?

Like, maybe, take whoever’s nuts out of your face and actually read what people say before you open your mouth.

You

Are so cool. The fact that you accentuate certain words lets me know that you are serious, my friend. Had you not italicized certain words, I may not have read them correctly.

And then God created Saturn... and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.
Twitter me and what not.

pow

Easy there cowboy. Take your cheap shots, it’s evident that’s how you roll. As long as you feel good about it. Jealousy is so ugly.

LOL

This website reminds me of a gay ESPN.

“OMG he slapped Ben, He sooooo deserved it”

Haha

Dude, you’re a joke. Even roid rage Seymour couldn’t say if Roethlisberger even said anything to him. Get the watered down Jack Daniels out of your face and watch again. Seymour is a puzzy for sucker punching a guy. Steroids can do that of course.

PS I heard you’re a known scumbag…can I punch you?

Exactly Terri

Dude is a joke. Maybe he will find it funny that someone “jokes” they had it coming if he or someone he cares about gets attacked.

Sure...

If I did the kind of stuff Roethlisberger has done.

Seymours act just a "THUG THANG"

Seymour was just disappointed with his and the rest of the Raiders game play against a real team that is a contender. He was playing like a thug all game. It was not reminiscent
of the 1970’s games between the Raiders and the Steelers. Back then the NFL allowed men to play the game as it is meant to be played, “smash mouth football”, between the snap and the whistle. Seymour should know you prove yourself after the ball is snapped, not after the whistle. He need to get out the check book!!! Pay, Pay, Pay!!!
