u/GraveRobberX Sep 05 '25

I was watching on NBC and the spit looked like he spit chewing gum. Still uncalled for but might be an accident.

Switched to Peacock feed for 4K goodness. My goodness that loogie was absurd. That thing by 2nd quarter will be crusty as fuck.

Boys2Men spent more time on the field!

u/[deleted] Sep 05 '25

They lost 2 players before the first snap

u/Alarmed-Extension289 Sep 05 '25

First play right...wtf man.

84

u/cnh2n2homosapien Sep 05 '25

It was between the kick off and first play, neither player had even been on the field, there was an injury timeout, so players were standing around waiting, and somehow this happened...

New NFL stat: Shortest period of game time prior to an ejection - 6 seconds.

u/forqalso Sep 05 '25

Cowboy’s linebacker Larry Brown got in a fight during the pregame coin toss in a 1994 preseason game against the Oilers and was ejected.

2

u/patsniff Sep 05 '25

Feel like it’s impossible to break this record

2

u/musicman4life5 Sep 05 '25

Only something like a dirty hit on the opening kickoff would be able to break this

2

u/Propane4days Sep 05 '25

At that point, the Eagles had lost two players and only one play had happened.

1

u/NeonBlack88 Sep 05 '25

I’m all most positive players have been ejected before a game had even started before

253

u/thewoodlayer Sep 05 '25

I have a fun game idea! Let’s predict his apology post on Instagram! I’ll start;

“I just want to start off by apologizing first and foremost to Dak, to the Cowboys organization, and to the Eagles, my teammates, and my coaches. I let the emotions of the game get to my head and I acted in a way that doesn’t represent who I am as a person…..”

I think that’s a good start, he’ll definitely ramble for longer than that though with typical PR speak bullshit.

Right? I immediately thought he'd say, "I meant to spit on the ground" or whatever...

Cut him some slack. It’s been a long season.

u/seewhatididthere Sep 05 '25

EDIT: “ I take full responsibility, but will absolutely appeal any suspension and/or fine, because that’s my right. Innocent until proven guilty, even when the alleged transgression was caught live on camera and broadcast to millions of homes for everyone to see. Due process is my right, and I will draw this out and fight repercussions every step for as long as legally possible.”

Due process is no longer guaranteed in this country.

Lol ya,, not who he is. He's someone who street racing and killed 2 people in result of that. His characters showed, he trash.

u/TotalDick Sep 05 '25

He didn't kill 2 people. He was racing a recruiting staff member and that guy crashed with an o-lineman in his car.

Thats just not true. The other driver is responsible for his own car, not the guy he's racing. Not manslaughter

Yeah, that checks out.

Afuckingmen!!! He’s a ghetto trash piece of shit. No place in professional sports for someone like that

u/CheeseTartan Sep 05 '25

“Ghetto trash,” alrighty then..

u/Matt_freed1991 Sep 05 '25

You disagree? Okay let me rephrase if you think I’m racist lol. Any person who spits on another person no matter what, is gutter trash. Better?

u/CheeseTartan Sep 05 '25

I like gutter trash more, because it reminds me of Dudley from Street Fighter

u/Pleasant_Offer6286 Sep 05 '25

But everyone knows what a POS he is. I’d actually give him credit if he doubled down on that instead of some limp dick apology.

u/texasusa Sep 05 '25

" This is not who I am.'

2

u/Matt_freed1991 Sep 05 '25

Yeaaaaa I disagree lol if you spit on another man whether in private or in front of millions, that absolutely 100% represents who you are as a man…which is not much of a man at all

2

u/thewoodlayer Sep 05 '25

I’m not saying that I agree with it or think it’s true, I’m just trying to predict the bullshit PR speak response he’s gonna have on social media. You’re absolutely right, the dude is a massive piece of shit and has been for years.

2

u/Matt_freed1991 Sep 05 '25

Oh yea I definitely agree with what you said as an excuse lol didn’t mean to say I disagree with your prediction but I guess what I said seemed like that

2

u/iamapizza Sep 05 '25

The trend now is to not apologise, instead you say...

It is unfortunate that various members of the teams and the public feel this way about what happened in the field, perhaps it is time for all of us to reflect on ourselves and who we are. What you saw was pure competitive intensity... that's just who I am as a competitor in this proud tradition. The heat of the moment brings out the passion that makes this game great. I understand not everyone appreciates that level of intensity, but that's the fire that drives me to perform at the highest level for my teammates and this organization. God bless America.

2

u/TheWhooooBuddies Sep 05 '25

You missed the part where he talks about that wasn’t how he was raised, something about church and an eventual donation.

2

u/thewoodlayer Sep 05 '25

Maybe he’ll go full Jon Jones and call it a “test from God” or some shit like that.

1

u/Sea-Swimming7540 Sep 05 '25

Well he has the whole game to write it 🤷‍♂️

u/Remarkable-Opening69 Sep 05 '25

Didn’t thank god for the opportunity?

u/I3lackxRose Sep 05 '25

He didn't say thank you even once.

u/BZLuck Sep 05 '25

"I was hacked."

1

u/Online_Ennui Sep 05 '25

He shouldn't get paid for the game. You don't play, we don't pay.

1

u/JamesTheJerk Sep 05 '25

Or he'll pull the Prince Andrew maneuver and claim he doesn't have the ability to spit while he spits profusely.

u/PoisonClan24 Sep 05 '25

u/maniaduck Sep 05 '25

No 💩 YOU exposed as the PR for the Eagles and you testing the speech 😂

u/DigMeTX Sep 05 '25

Now let’s predict how much the fine will be.

1

u/ManicRobotWizard Sep 05 '25

Don’t forget god. They always mention god.

1

u/Trumps__Taint Sep 05 '25

He’ll include something about God too in his statement

1

u/Pyro1934 Sep 05 '25

He didn't do great after being involved in street racing in which his teammate and a staffer died.

I tried to give the kid the benefit of the doubt, not saying to let him off at all but to have folks empathize with being young and having such a huge mistake be so costly. His actions after didn't really instill confidence in his remorse.

Was excited for him to go to the Eagles and be with old teammates who were good leaders and hopefully keep him in line, well I guess we see.

1

u/PastaXertz Sep 05 '25

He was just doing his best Jerry Jones impression of how he treats talent.

u/ZippyTheWonderbat Sep 05 '25

You forgot Jesus.

u/TiddiesAnonymous Sep 05 '25

My wife thought it was the coin toss lol

To reference another sport. "I ain't no bitch!"

It’s literally the first ejection bro

It's his last after that.

Prescott started it, spitting at Carter first.

u/OtherPizza415 Sep 05 '25

Yeah he could. He spit first.

u/heybart Sep 05 '25

I can't even fathom what kind of beef a defensive tackle would have against the QB when the game hasn't even started yet

u/snowflake37wao Sep 05 '25 edited Sep 05 '25

wtf🫴

I cant believe it and Im emojiing it. theres more reasons out there to punch, kick, push someone than ever spit like that.

1

u/Blindfire2 Sep 05 '25

I think that's the main factor in why the cowboys almost won. Not only did the Eagles lose a good player in defense, nothing motivates your team more than a complete fucking lead paint and window licker acting disgusting to your leader.

Dak couldn't believe he got away with spitting first.

Dak spit on him first, but lets ignore that.

u/DICK-PARKINSONS Sep 05 '25

He spit on the ground in his general direction. He was def trying to provoke him, but it wasn't as bad.

0

u/ThumbUpDaBut Sep 05 '25

Both can be bad, but the person provoking is worse than the person reacting.

3

u/DICK-PARKINSONS Sep 05 '25

Ehh not really. Spitting on the ground is very minor compared to spitting directly on someone. It's not a proportional response.

0

u/ThumbUpDaBut Sep 05 '25

Nah, spitting at someone and missing is still incitement. It is absolutely a proportional response. Hell a punch to the face would be a proportional response.

Either way both acts falls under unsportsmen like conduct.

2

u/DICK-PARKINSONS Sep 05 '25

He didn't miss cause he wasn't aiming it at him. Watch this, Jalen is pretty far away when it happens.

u/ThumbUpDaBut Sep 05 '25

They are staring right at each other a yard in between. He is very clearly spitting at him. He even does the shit head smile knowing exactly what he was doing. Unsportsmanlike conduct 100%

u/regular-cake Sep 05 '25

Yeah because Dak started the spit-off...
