Keith Jardine suspended for shoving official:

Not only did he suffer his fifth straight loss at Saturday night’s Shark Fights 13, Jardine was also indefinitely suspended by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation for "sportsmanship."

"He's standing there ... he's being grabbed, he turns around in instinct and pushes the guy back, thinking its an over aggressive fan, but it happens to be (a Texas official).

"He's very apologetic to that. (But) the only part that the commission saw was Keith pushing the commission guy."

Aha. I noticed that incident when I watched the fights, and I was wondering if anything would come out of it. I think some kind of punishment is necessary, he clearly shouldn’t have done that.

I had to watch it once for Bas comments and then had to watch it again for Don’s comments. What a joke of a team they had that night.

Shut up, Tito.

Not sure how Jardine can say he thought it was just some crazy fan.

Keith doesn’t shove the guy right away. After the ref grabs his shirt, Keith turns around, looks at him for a second or two, and I think some words are exchanged, and then Keith shoves him.

That’s exactly what I saw. The guy put his hands on Jardine’s shirt and Keith smacked his hand away. Then he glared at him for a second or two before pushing him. Clear as day.

Forget it Donny, you're out of your element.

Yeah

and this is the same Texas Athletic Commission that just liscensed Antonio Mragarito to fight in the state.

Margarito!!!?!?!?

It still blows my mind.

He “didn’t know” they were wrapping his hands with plaster of paris?

Even if he didn’t, which is so unbelievable, surely he would have noticed in the late rounds when they hardened into cement. The fact that this guys is fighting anywhere, let alone Pacquiao, is such a joke.

For all the chirping Pacquiao’s fans do about Mayweather being afraid to fight him (rightfully so), their boy shouldn’t be taking this fight before giving Marquez another shot.

It was the migraine

If I had a migraine and someone tugged on my shirt I might shove them too :)

When some wild-eyed, eight-foot-tall maniac grabs your neck, taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall, and he looks you crooked in the eye and he asks you if ya paid your dues, you just stare that big sucker right back in the eye, and you remember what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like that: "Have ya paid your dues, Jack?" "Yessir, the check is in the mail." - Jack Burton

Hm. When I read the description, it sounded like the commission was way out of line. Watching the video, though, Jardine definitely didn’t need to shove him there.

That said, I don’t think it’s suspension-worthy either.

Looks like shortly after

they kissed and made up so yeah, no suspension needed.

Yeah, it’s hard to tell, but that’s the impression I got as well.

Yeah, once he realised who the guy was he gave him a pat on the shoulder. Seemed to be kind of a ‘hey, sorry’ response.

Agreed 100%

The quote about pushing the guy out of instinct is obviously BS, but maybe he did think it was a fan…I don’t know, Jardine has always seemed like a chill guy, but he looked the dude right in the face before he shoved him.

by beeran on Sep 14, 2010 4:31 PM EDT up reply actions  

It looked like it may have been an honest mistake…

by penxv on Sep 14, 2010 4:56 PM EDT reply actions  

No way he thought that was a fan. Still don’t know what was going through his head. Shouldn’t be suspended though, apology enough in this case.

The official grabbed his body and was saying "take off your shirt"

I shoved the last random guy who did that to me too. He should have introduced himself before just feeling up on him. That’s just weird

Jardine got off easy

In Texas people have gotten the electric chair for WAY less.

by ufc4 on Sep 15, 2010 12:06 AM EDT reply actions  

Watch closely. That commission member tried to "tweak" his nipple

He probably thought Jardine would think it was funny. Apparently not.
