It's fair to say he didn't stop him enough, but Woods did absolutely stop him in his tracks and topple him backwards early on in the game. For all the good it did in the end...
I need to pick up someone at the airport at 7, so I'm having a buddy pvr the game. We institute a phone ban that is punishable by beatings til we catch up live.
Not to mention they played together in 2014. I figure they are buds and it goes both ways. Same as Bear Woods talking about smacking Messam around; they played together in Montreal and want to outdo their former teammate buddy. Harmless.
I must have missed Lemon's trash talk. For what it's worth I have no issue with trash talk on or off the field. It just enhances the drama and gives games storylines.
I'd be surprised if Nichols didn't talk **** and pump his teammates up in a similar fashion. Still, how about turning to the camera in hist post-game interview and calling out "Shawn Lemon didn't get a sack! Haha!" Dude, you still got sacked 6 times...
