A lot is being said about Baltimore Ravens DT Haloti Ngata’s ear to ear grin after a 15-yard penalty for a personal foul in their game against Pittsburgh on Sunday, December 29th. But Ngata, the former Highland High school star and University of Oregon All-American drafted in the 1st round by the Ravens in 2006 has openly admitted that it was a reflex reaction to the personal foul.
"I was thinking that it was a stupid penalty, and I was just basically laughing at myself that I could do something that dumb.
"That's pretty much why I was laughing, because that was the only thing I could do."
Alright, who hasn’t reacted similarly when faced with that kind of situation? For those who know Haloti personally we all know that though he plays with a mean streak, he not a malicious guy and he had no evil intentions even though it is hard to keep a level head when you’re team is stinkin’ up the field.
Take heart Haloti, I’m sure that by the time you’re working on your tan in Honolulu at your very first Pro Bowl, it will all be forgotten. At least by everyone outside of Pittsburgh.
