There’s always “that guy.”Everybody knows the type — the one who likes to rain on the parade and be the center of attention.Be it through some outlandish act, ridiculous statement or an unending thirst to be recognized, “that guy” is going to make sure everyone is talking about him. It’s an epidemic that’s spread to just about everyone at some point or another.And on Thursday night, Oregon senior running back LeGarrette Blount was “that guy.”After Blount’s then-No. 16 Ducks got manhandled by then-No. 14 Boise State, Blount committed one of the most unsportsmanlike acts of a weekend whose purpose was to promote sportsmanship.This week as part of a special sportsmanship initiative the NCAA and American Football Coaches Association asked teams to participate in a special pregame handshake in addition to the traditional postgame handshakes shared between teams.But during the postgame handshakes, Blount was taunted by Boise State sophomore defensive lineman Byron Hout. Instead of responding reasonably and shaking off Hout’s childish antics, the Oregon senior reacted in the worst possible manner, and threw the punch heard ‘round the college football world.’Blount connected with a swift right hand to the Boise State player’s chin and laid Hout on the bright blue turf of Bronco Stadium.Not cool, LeGarrette. Not cool at all.But Blount was just getting started.Immediately after the punch, Blount backed away rapidly, bucking his arms and talking trash to the Boise State team, seemingly asking, “Is there no one else?” like Brad Pitt as Achilles to the Trojan armies in the 2004 film “Troy.”In Blount’s mind, there were others who wanted to challenge him because he then shoved one of his teammates, sophomore receiver Garrett Embry, and hit him in the facemask before having to be restrained by several other teammates.Blount then slammed his helmet down and threw a king-sized tantrum on his way back to the locker room pouting and yelling as if someone told him he couldn’t get an action figure on the toy aisle.And just when the scene appeared over, Blount decided to thug harder.The 6-foot-2-inch 240 pounder made a charge for the bleachers after a few particularly overzealous Bronco fans shouted some expletives in his direction.Luckily, stadium security, assistant coaches and Blount’s teammates neutralized the situation before the sports world witnessed another “Malice at the Palace” type brawl that could have ensued if a large man got his hands on some much smaller fans.For all of his general thuggery and punkish behavior, Blount was suspended for the remainder of the season, ending his college football career on a way former Ohio State coach Woody Hayes ended his — remembered for one moment when his temper got the better of him and he made a huge mistake.Blount realized the severity of his mistakes, but it was too little too late. On Saturday, he phoned Hout and Boise State coach Chris Petersen to apologize for his actions.It was the typical “that guy” move. Make a huge mess and wait to see if it blows over, and when it doesn’t, apologize.At least he manned up to his actions, but the legend of LeGarrette Blount had already been written.No one will remember Blount as the 1,002-yard rusher from Oregon’s 2008 squad or the running back with first-day draft potential.They’ll remember him as “that guy” who threw one of the lamest sucker punches in college football history and became “undraftable” after rushing for -5 yards in his senior debut on national television — a punch line to jokes for the foreseeable future.  – – – -Contact Johanathan Brooks at [email protected]
