About the Ravens' loss to the Bills the other night, the less said, the better, but let me pass along a little free medical advice to people who think it might be a good idea to reach out of the seating area and shove a football player, or smack one on the helmet:
Don't do that, if you ever want to come back and see another game.
A 17-year-old boy decided to try that during the third quarter Sunday night, giving DeAndre Hopkins a little helmet punch and then trying the same on Lamar Jackson, who gave him a free two-handed chest compression.
The youth was ejected by stadium security and has been banned indefinitely by the NFL, but at least he was able to go home a little early and finish up his essay for English 11 the next morning. It was called "Live and Learn."
Fans see players do this sort of thing to each other, but there is no invitation for Hoi Polloi to come down and join in the smacking. You pay to see a football game, watch a football game, no more, no less.
Son, in the immortal words of Red Forman, don't be a dumbass.
