This was all "pre-game" so I assume bat was in the locker room at game time. I have no problem with a player swinging a bat on the sidelines and I think it would be setting crazy precedent to punish a player for making verbal threats on the field (if any were even made), which I assume happens nearly every week without league punishment. There's nothing to see here.I must have missed the part of football that uses a bat. And Schefter says "and were motioning with them towards Odell Beckham Jr. while making comments to him, per a league source. ". Which, admittedly is vague but is followed up by saying he felt threatened. And that there is video. So I suppose we will find out.
For the record, I think both he and Norman are douchebags.
Of course, given Goodell's nuanced understanding for how to bring about culture change, penchant for reacting to media narratives and desire to restore parity at all times, he'll probably have Norman executed by Ted Wells after the SB.
