Dave Portnoy roasts 'bum' Georgia player over comical collision with official during Sugar Bowl

One University of Georgia football player was caught in an embarrassing moment after he interfered with an official during a play in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Early in the second quarter, in the first play of Georgia's third drive against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Bulldogs quarterback Gunner Stockton completed a pass to wideout Arian Smith for a massive gain of 67 yards.
However, the play was erased due to a collision on the sidelines between side judge JB Garza and Georgia redshirt sophomore cornerback Parker Jones. As Garza ran up the sideline to follow the play, he ran into Jones - who wasn't able to get out of the way.
The result of that was a flag for sideline interference that ended up turning from a ball on the Notre Dame 11 to the Notre Dame 26. Georgia had to settle for a field goal on the drive as ESPN cameras caught Jones standing as far back from the field as possible.

Jones (far left) collided with side judge JB Garza and was got a sideline interference penalty. The penalty on Jones (39) partially walked back a massive play and Georgia settled for 3 points.
A clip of the incident was shared by Barstool Sports president Dave Portnoy who captioned the video with, 'This f**king guy' plus two laughing emojis. 'Tough time to be Parker Jones on the internet,' remarked ESPN's Pat McAfee. CBS Sports' Tom Fornelli joked, 'Lot of people making fun of Parker Jones, but as far as I'm concerned, he's living the dream of 95% of sports fans I see on here: Laying the wood to an official.'.
