Quote:While I agree with you, I think we all-too-easily forget how old (i.e. young) some of these guys are. I'm twice Jalen's age and you catch me in the wrong state of mind the "right" way and I'm going to try to take your head off also. It's human nature, especially when everything around you is a trainwreck. Frustration builds up and all that anger has to go somewhere...

 

Is it right? Nah...but I am not going to dare sit here and say I don't get it.

 

This is the way I saw it too. It reminded me of Jared Odrick's blowup in San Diego. When you consider how bad the game was going and when the fight happened, it is completely understandable he was just too angry and frustrated to do nothing about his emotions. I learned this stuff in a psychology class years ago. It is called vulnerability. When you are already having a bad day, you are vulnerable to doing something that upsets other people. That is not to say Jalen Ramsey did the right thing, of course. There are much better - or less severe, if you want to call it that - ways to vent anger and frustration. I am just saying that's how people are, regardless of uncontrollable factors such as age.
