There is no one individual who could absorbed that kind of punishment, and rise to his feet the way LION82 did last night, and that includes Paris Jackson...

He knew anything less than how he reacted to that hit might change the momentum in the game… that's what kind of fortitude the guy is made of.

What may be even more amazing than his boucing back to his feet again while Lofton lay on the ground, is that during the whole episode he never let go of the ball!!!

This is where the expression "clutch" was born.

Look it up in the dictionary and you will find a picture of Jason Claremont.

Clermont is a warrior. You want him in the foxhole with you when you battle your enemies. :rockin:

Yah, his helmet popped off and you could just see him sending a message to every single person (both benches and all the fans) that hit was NOTHING.

Clermont stated in the post game TV interview that he had to get up quickly to steal some of the thunder from Loftus for his hit.

Not long after he'd done it just minutes before, too!

My reaction upon seeing that play rhymed with "clucking blossom!"

Unfortunately my camera will only take four shots in quick succession, so this is the last of the sequence that I got...

Thanks! Just wish I coulda caught him jumping back up too, but my camera takes a good 15s once the 4-shot buffer is full, to write it back to the card. Plus once JC jumped up, so did everyone in front of me...

Dave and Wally both.

Wally looks like he is ready to run onto the field if needs be.
