Happy Thanksgiving Sausages,
I hope you're all having nice buildup to Turkey Day. Our blog tends to take a look at the lighter side of sports and this story continues that trend. We have all seen athletes have altercations with coaches (looking at you Latrell) and less often with officials/umpires. But I stumbled upon a story across the pond where an amateur footballer was so incensed by the mere threat of a red card that he stormed off the pitch, hopped into his Ranger Rover (a big boy) and tried to run down the ref in his ride. This is so bizarre I had to do a double-take to make sure it was true. Imagine if an MLB player with a volatile temper got called out on strikes due to a questionable strike zone. Would he hop in his H3 and try to kill the umpire? or even pull a Robert DeNiro in The Fan?
Have a look at the complete story here: Footballer goes Mental
24 weeks in prison is a good deal of time in the Iron Bar Hotel but that referee's peace of mind is gone like LeBron from Cleveland (too soon?). Anywho, thats about it for today. I hope you all have a very Sausage Thanksgiving.
Cheers,
- KA
