Some of you are acting like he walked up to a stranger on the street and sucker punched him in the face. This is professional sports, these are extremely competitive athletes, Barrett hates losing, and AJP is the biggest smack-talker in the game. As to whether AJP said anything after the slide, or whether he was partially culpable in what happened, doesn't matter. If you're really bent on it, I'd be willing to bet that the issue with AJP started before that play. Barrett was in the wrong here, but let's get over acting like he's a street-thug or a common criminal. This was clearly an emotionally driven event, not an premeditated attack on an innocent bystander. Barrett was wrong, he's going to be punished, then he's going to put it behind him, drive on, and continue to play. I can't believe the attitudes some of you are displaying over this, you'd think you never saw a fight in a game before. It's not that big of a deal.
