Well Jeff you weren't there either, were you? It is speculation on both sides of the issue, as you have no idea what was said or not said as well. On the surface, it does have to do with who threw the punch, because in a civilized society, we don't always have to react to baiting by going fist-city automatically. In football, for example, it is usually the player that retaliates physically to a verbal taunt who gets the flag, right. It is the same here. A.J. may have said disparaging remarks about Barrett's mama, but Barrett is ultimately responsible for his actions.
