Chris Obekpa Kicking Jamil Wilson?

[MUDPT]

For those of us with a DVR, go back and take a look at the Obekpa foul on Wilson with 3:25 left in the game.  It's the play where Jamil ran down the lane, was fouled and ended up out of bounds along the baseline. Otule runs over to help Jamil up and that's when Obekpa appears to get tangled up with Otule. It also possibly appears Obekpa kicks Jamil in between his shoulder blades. Obekpa also had no reason to be even near Wilson or Otule and was not "forced" down there with Otule as it seemed.

I was at the game yesterday and re-watched it today and saw this.  Just wondering if anyone else saw it as well.

Fixed for my Irish spelling. Thanks.

when it happened we talked about it and I said: "It doesn't look like he tried to stomp on Wilson... but it doesn't look like he tried too hard to avoid stepping on him either"

Honestly? I think it was just a heat of the moment thing where guys were tangled and was almost entirely an accident. I could be wrong though.

i watched it a few times when it happened because the announcers were making a comment about wilson being in the wrong...couldn't tell if obekpa kicked him or not, but he certainly had no reason to walk up on him like that.

Yeah, saw that and agree.  He looked like he kicked him.

Is O'Tule Irish?

Is O'Tule Irish?

Sure is.  O'bekpa too.  Every year around this time.

Must be related to the O'Bama clan from County Kerry.

Best part is that the idiot announcers made it sound as if Wilson (on the ground) was trying to start something.

Best part is that the edit announcers made it sound as if Wilson (on the ground) was trying to start something.

That would be pronounced as "Mike Patrick"

Now, don't you be putting O'Bama on Kerry!

I heard that also--they were not even paying attention to the action, see a scuffle and then jump on J Will who was on the ground at the time.  I think MP said something along the lines of J Will looking for trouble.  Man those guys are bad.
