Packers’ Josh Jacobs says hands-behind-back TD celebration was not mocking recent arrest

  • Green Bay RB claims gesture was an ode to gospel song

  • Jacobs pleaded no contest to battery charges last month

Green Bay Packers running back Josh Jacobs says he was paying homage to a gospel song rather than making light of his recent arrest when he briefly had his hands behind his back while celebrating a touchdown Thursday night.

This was Jacobs’s second game of the season after coming off the commissioner’s exempt list. He was placed on that list after charges were filed against him in August stemming from a May altercation with his then-girlfriend during which she said he threw her to the ground.

South Africa all out and set Australia 288 to win decider: third men’s cricket Test, day four – as it happened

Ryan Rickelton and Wiaan Mulder made fine centuries as South Africa fought back to set up a fascinating final day

Rickelton gets a ball from Lyon that is not exactly short, but the batter gets back and leans away to make the length and the width he wants, cuts behind point for four. One good partnership and this could very much be South Africa’s day.

“Morning Geoff. Fire up the CRUCIAL FIRST SESSION machine, this really will decide the match. I’m wondering, do you think South Africa missed a trick with only one frontline spinner here? Given the turn and it only getting more exaggerated through the game, Lyon is backed up by Connolly and Renshaw? Coetzee hasn’t really fired - yet - so you wonder what Maharaj could’ve done here...”
