He runs up to the NO player, taps him on the shoulder and just throws "haymakers" at the guy's head. How stupid can you be? I never understood the concept of hitting a guy wearing a helmet. It's gonna hurt your hands way more than it hurts the other guys head or face. Helmets were designed to absorb a lot more force than a punch. I wouldn't be surprised if Wims wakes up today with two broken hands and a suspension from the NFL. What an idiot!

There was a report that the Saint's CB stole Mims' mouth guard on the prior drive and  wouldn't give it back. So the first motion Mims made was to take the CB's mouth guard and when he couldn't, he just got so fed up at being picked on that he just lost it. Not saying any of that condones what happened. But it wasn't just an "out of the blue" I wanna fight you thing.

Why didn't he just go to the sidelines and get another mouth guard? I wouldn't want it after an opponent had it. God knows what he did to it and with Covid 19 going around, I would just throw it away anyway. Hitting someone in the hardened helmet with your bare hands is gonna hurt Wims a lot more than it hurt his opponent. Whether or not he just "lost it," it was a dumb response. Wait until the game is over, his helmet is off and then "clock him!"
