What do you think Spikes was attempting to do?

My opinion? I think he was trying to put a hand in there to poke him in the eye. I don't think he was trying to rip his eyeballs out or anything... but even a small poke can mess up your vision for hours... certainly long enough to impact the game. And that is inexcusable in my opinion.
I just think it is crazy, given the nature of football and what we all know happens on the field, to try to make statements like "Oh we don't know what he was doing... maybe he was trying to wipe spit (LOL?! REALLY? Come on now...) on him.
Spikes is a linebacker. He gets poked, kicked, hit in the groin, spit on, etc all game. I'm positive he does it back. That is football... but it isn't the good part of it (in my opinion.) I don't think we should gloss over it and say "That is ok... EVERYONE does it." Even though they do, they shouldn't.
