More than one NFL commentator mentioned that they were surprised that he acted in that way because he is considered one of the nicest guys in the NFL (not my words, theirs). There is acting in an unbecoming way when you are frustrated or angry and then there is putting your hands on someone in an aggressive way when frustrated or angry.

Well, if this were true, why didn't he go back to the guy, check to see that he's ok, and, if still on the ground help him up. Besides the obvious that was already pointed out, that this apology was on social media instead of reaching out to him directly, bs, fine the crap out of him and suspend him. Reminiscent of Matt Stafford. Stafford didn’t push the person, of course, but he showed similar indifference. Not cool on either part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy was completely oblivious and collided with Adams (who was walking in a straight line into the tunnel). Still, as you said, that's a really bad reaction from Adams. Probably worth a game suspension and definitely worth a big fine Yea like after games especially one that emotionally charged and the Raiders having lost every game one score and gut punch style Adams is probably at his wits end. I actually believe his apology as I can get over reacting after all of this, I just don't know a middle ground between fine v suspension that sends a message. I don't think the NFL does half game suspensions like some leagues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Things are different in a sports arena whether you agree or disagree. He should be suspended at least one game and fined heavily by the NFL. That's where the punishment should be handed down. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cray51 Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Adams should face a game or two. The league does not want the look of players/coaches losing their cool and becoming immature. Adams made a mistake, and he acknowledged it. That does not mean he is absolved of it. Give him a game or two, a decent fine, and show the rest of the league that you cannot lose your cool, superstar or not. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airseven Posted October 11, 2022 Share Posted October 11, 2022 Not criminal. He should be fined severely by the league and a significant (private) gesture made to the guy that went down. If the guy chooses to sue or press charges, well then the silliness can play out apart from the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assault in the Third Degree A person is guilty of assault in the third degree if he: attempts to physically injure another person or recklessly causes physical injury to another negligently causes bodily injury to another with a deadly weapon purposely threatens another person, causing that person to feel afraid that he is about to suffer serious physical injury recklessly engages in conduct that creates a grave risk of death or serious physical injury to another person intentionally engages in physical contact with another that the victim finds offensive or provocative, with knowledge that the victim will find it offensive or provocative, or knowingly engages in offensive or provocative contact with an incapacitated person. (Mo. Ann. Stat. § 565.070.) What Constitutes "Recklessness?" A reckless act is one that is committed, not necessarily with intent to harm another, but without regard for the outcome. Pushing someone out of the way in a crowd so that you can get through, without intending to injure the person, could be an assault if the person falls and is injured. (Mo. Ann.

Adams just looks like a jerk, and it’s a bad look for the league that some guy making probably $25 bucks an hour is getting knocked around by a padded, helmeted athlete for no reason.
