After the game, he was full or rage and anger. It was not a pretty sight. He was stuffing his shirt in his pants and it didn't seem like he just needed a place to put it. Granted, he was pumped up after a big game but he truly looked like an amateur who was just granted a leave of absence from the local jail. It was that bad.
