Playing the Field: Danny Amendola spikes a football into a guy’s face

Danny Amendola hates old people.



Rams receiver/fantasy football PPR monster Danny Amendola took his opportunity at celebrating a touchdown yesterday a little too aggressively. After Amendola’s score, he spiked the ball in the back of the end zone … where it promptly bounced into a guy’s face and broke his glasses. Oops.

We’d laugh if the guy hadn’t been injured.

OK, fine. We laughed anyway. We’re awful, awful people.

At least it wasn’t Rob Gronkowski spiking the ball. The usher’s face might have exploded. The play is reminiscent of when Giants linebacker Michael Boley threw a ball right into a guy’s face on the sideline last season.

And since we’re contractually obligated to show all streakers that appear on a football Sunday, please watch the following video of an idiot in Toronto rushing onto the field at the Bills-Seahawks game yesterday.

Poor effort all around. First, he strips down, but only to his underwear? And then he gets tackled that easily? Weak, buddy.
