Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf has been known for his trash talking on the field, but he has found a way to continue his taunting without drawing penalties. Metcalf revealed that he has been learning American Sign Language (ASL) in order to communicate with opponents without using his voice. He explained that he started taking ASL classes on his off days to avoid getting flagged for mouthing off. During a recent game against the Los Angeles Rams, Metcalf put his newfound skills to use after scoring a touchdown against cornerback Ahkello Witherspoon. He signed Witherspoon's jersey number and the phrase "my son" to taunt him. Although the Seahawks lost the game, Metcalf did not receive an unsportsmanlike penalty for his actions. This is not the first time the Seahawks have engaged in creative trash talking. Safety Jerrick Reed previously trolled an opponent by wearing a ski mask. Seahawks fans will now be eagerly awaiting to see if Metcalf continues his ASL trash talking when they face the San Francisco 49ers on Thanksgiving Day.
The Golden State Warriors faced a tough loss against the Phoenix Suns, but the game was overshadowed by the ejection of Chris Paul by referee Scott Foster. The incident occurred with just seconds remaining in the first half when Paul disputed a foul call and engaged in a heated exchange with Foster. Paul was ultimately given two technical fouls and ejected from the game. This is not the first clash between Paul and Foster, as they have a long-running feud that dates back several years. In a postgame interview, Paul hinted that the feud may be personal and related to an incident involving his son. Despite Paul's ejection, the Warriors made a comeback in the second half, led by their bench unit, but ultimately fell short with a final score of 123-115. The Warriors now have a record of 7-9 for the season. This incident raises questions about the relationship between players and referees and the impact it can have on the game. Will the league take any action to address the ongoing feud between Paul and Foster?
