Not to derail the OT, but posting a pic of a man and his daughter and calling her a prostitute is going too far

Deadspin is a self-proclaimed hipster pit of arrogant nonsense, and the comments section is the cesspool in that pit.

When I get my hip replaced, will that make me a hipster?

I love how everyone is so quick to judge without any knowledge of what the player might have said.

True but just going off the knowledge we glean from the video. For me, I did not see taunting acts. He may have said something taunting and if so, good enough. But I will agree with the commentator that I do not believe that Davis could have seen that or heard it better from the 28ft line than the lead did right next to the play.

The second one was obvious to me. He pointed at his opponent.

It's hard to see he pointed from any of the angles and from where the calling official was coming from, I don't believe he could see a point. I think you're reaching on this one. There was no "obvious" pointing. A quick arm towards him which can be interpreted in any way but to call it from where the official came from and the lead, who was staring right at the play, called nothing.

Regardless, even if he did point, what was said or done for the first one? Deadspin does a lot wrong but don't blame this one on them.
