'Old-school' Bruce Arians doesn't regret slapping Andrew Adams | Pro Football Talk | NBC Sports

Youtube Commenter

If he was a player doing it to a QB it’s a flag. So in todays league yes that’s not good . I wouldn’t want a coach smacking my kid in the head .

    @Micah Johnson Boxing I am surprised at how many people think slapping at someone’s face is ok. It’s an act of disrespect and I am sure they would have a different perspective if it was them.

    Micah Johnson Boxing

    @LightsPopcornAction People don’t like players, they’re young and have lots of money so people feel okay with it. Grown ups shouldn’t be hit.

    John Galt

    Then good luck to your child’s future in flag dancing club.

    Deeactive

    Me and the coach would meet in the parking lot. My son plays football don’t put your hands on my son. I didn’t let coaches or teachers talk to me like that either your job is to coach which means teaching game. Keep your hands to yourself.

    LightsPopcornAction

    @Deeactive Agree, also it is one thing that BA acted rash in the moment but for him to not apologize and act like it was ok is what gets me.

Robert

Making NOTHING out of NOTHING!

    Thug Nasty

    Exactly

    Micah Johnson Boxing

    It’s abuse.

    Thug Nasty

    @Micah Johnson Boxing and you pee sitting down

Mehmet Yigit

If you don’t wanna listen, you gonna feel the consequences as a player

    Micah Johnson Boxing

    Player should have hit coach.

The issue isn’t that he smacked him on the head, every one knows adams didn’t even feel it with the helmet on. The issue is it’s bad optics especially after AB just walked out and accused you of forcing him to play injured.

Someone that’s a football fan knows it’s a non story but when it’s the NFL and you have 20+ million people watching you’re going to have a large group of people who don’t know that and see a coach that appears to be unhinged.

    Wesley Bundy

    That’s a good analysis! I think it’s no big deal but I am an ex player

craig dzikowski

I and every other kid 35+ experienced far worse in little league

    Little league🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    Billy Summers

    Wow, you guys are so tough

    S 93

    @Billy Summers my point

Joshua Porter

Only person making this a big deal is florio

    anssi heiskala

    jep

    Sam Herbert

    @Justice Democrat getting blasted in the jaw is a little different than a slap on the helmet.

    Micah Johnson Boxing

    @Sam Herbert Naw a hit is a hit. A lot of guys want to act tough.

    a

    @Justice Democrat Adams was trying to pull opposing players off of a pile which you can’t do.

RogerTampaBay

im way more worried about coach hurting himself on the players helmet.

    Cee Bee

    Bruce Arians could have a Heart attack

Geoff Foster

Was it right? Ask the victim. If he picks Arians up and drops him on his head – probably not. If he’s enjoying a pint of beer with him after the game – I guess so.

    Cee Bee

    What about if the victim turns around and picks the old dude up and drops him or punches him? Does he get a pass?

    Geoff Foster

    @Cee Bee Ask the victim.

William Figueroa

Picturing Chris putting Chucky on top of the fridge 😂😂😂

denigster

this is the kind of stuff why no one takes florio serious – what is he talking about

    Justice Democrat

    Why are you watching?

    Ronnie Farnsworth

    He’s a “Woke” NBC Lawyer !!! Lol

Francois S

It wasn’t necessary. Stuff happens all game. If this is OK beat everyone who makes a mistake!

A 700MAN

Bruce is a liar…Now we see why Antonio snapped 😂😂

    Nicholas Morton

    They don’t want to bring that up!!

Sierra Beebe

Come on how old is Bruce? That little swat was nothing it’s called tough love he had a helmet and shoulder pads he’s your leader we’ve gotten to soft as a society

    Micah Johnson Boxing

    Letting a man hit you is soft.

    Micah Johnson Boxing

    @Curtis D No, it’s about what you believe in.

J P

Dude after a TD the players on the same team hit each other way harder.

    D S

    So hits of celebration are the same as what happen here? Keep telling yourself that so you will eventually truly believe it.

    J P

    @Corvus 2 many of the comments are calling this a form of abuse, and that term is used to refer to violence. My comment was to address that this wasn’t abuse; rather more of overstepping of another’s personal space

Wesley Bundy

High school football coaches would grab us by the face mask —/ screaming in your face! But that was the 90‘s!!!
It happened to me and my teammates

    Larry Mac

    My JV coach picked up a Scout Team kid and tossed him like a bale of hay back in 94’. He got up, walked into the locker room and never played football again. An ultimate WTF moment…

James Casey

just drop tackle football all together and put flags on their hips, then remove the scoreboard and endzone. Because that is where this is headed

Chris Snape

Good coaches shouldn’t be hitting their players, but this was not that bad, but don’t do it

Butta Grind

Coach should have been fined 100k period. Coach had no business on the field (1). Def has no business swiping @ an athletes helmet regardless to if it was impactful or not. Falls under conduct not conducive to league image

T Q

How does a man become a man without getting slapped around once in awhile. I would have no discipline if this wasn’t done to me. Woke world we live in these days.

Julia Willy

That old man is going to get clocked if he keeps this up. You can’t be knocking players on the head in a game.
