The full Goggans.
But who could have ever imagined that a small scuffle, occurring at the very beginning of 2018 between Stab magazine’s Ashton Goggans and BeachGrit’s Chas Smith on a podcast hosted by then single David Lee Scales, would have changed the course of sporting history?
Wild days.
As it was nearly five years ago, now, you may have forgotten the moment when the aforementioned Smith leapt across a reclaimed wooden coffee table at Goggans, who had been saying things he deemed uninformed into a microphone.
The two locked into a light embrace, which included some swaying, some high-pitched “hey man”s until broken up by Scales.
Childish and silly, Smith semi-regretted the encounter until receiving a call from the Orange County Sheriff Department informing him that Goggans was hoping to press assault charges. That he, himself, had called the law and attempted to really teach him a lesson by sending him to jail.
That put a right burr under Smith’s saddle and the rest, as they say, is history. A history, unfortunately, repeated days ago on the august gridiron when superstar wide receiver Davante Adams lightly shoved a sporting journalist after a tough loss to the Denver Broncos and was slapped with the law.
Raiders wide receiver Davante Adams has been charged with misdemeanor assault for shoving a credentialed media worker after Monday’s loss in Kansas City to the Chiefs.
Adams was cited for an “intentional, overt act” that inflicted “bodily injury,” according to court records released Wednesday.
The man shoved by Adams, identified by police as Ryan Zebley, suffered whiplash, a headache and a possible minor concussion from the incident, according to records. Zebley was working for ESPN’s Monday Night Football as a freelance photographer.
The charges were filed Wednesday morning in Municipal Court of Kansas City. Adams is due in court Nov. 10.
If convicted, Adams could face a jail term of up to six months or a fine of up to $1,000.
Goggansing, man.

You got me at “the full Goggins”. Otherwise never would have read it.
Reminded me of better times pre-Brady when you only used to flog a story like Goggins for a couple of weeks.
in a similar fashion as smith v goggins…except with a dialogue…
Just saved a bunch of money switching to Geico.
Punch Your Ticket Now!
Today, the WSL announced that the Cold Water Classic will make its return to Steamer Lane in Santa Cruz as a Qualifying Series 1,000 event November 15-19. As you might remember, the Cold Water Classic almost saw a return to the CT in 2020, but was canceled
due to pandemic concerns. This November, QS hopefuls will be joined by
top CT competitors such as Griffin Colapinto, Kolohe Andino, and Santa
Cruz local Nat Young, who is stoked to see the event return to his home
break, an event which he won at just 17.
“It’s pretty epic to have the Cold Water Classic back after all these
years,” said Young. “It’s been over ten years since I’ve done it and
it’s awesome to have it back since the event is such a big part of the
surf culture up here in Santa Cruz. It’s really good for the next
generation as well because it’s such an iconic event. You look back and
the whole cliff is just lined with people, and you can hear all of them
out there while you’re in the water. (The Lane) has the atmosphere of an
arena more than anywhere else in the world.”
if my mammaroires are correct, I Sense you’re in it?
Writing in 3rd person now?
Oh regularly!
Savage move using that pic without the stupid yellow hat. Bravo
I suppose the major differences here are that Adams is worth an astronomical amount of money which will allow this guy to profit handsomely off Adams mistake. I’m going to guess, and its just a guess, that there isn’t a huge pot of millions for Ballgag Goggans to tap into from the Smith family. Not to mention, you did jump across the table at the yellow penis tipped hat wearing clown first, setting the stage for your epic trade shown dance on film. This guy was just running by trying to do his job. He’s a douche as he clearly wasn’t hurt but oh well, sue away, its the new American idiot way.
I would take his ass to the cleaners.
Adams, Chas, or Ballgag Goggans?
Adam’s and ballgags.
