"What's he going to do? I imagine that Rodgers didn't come up smiling....so the kid stood up to fight,like it or not.....At least he aint no punk.
You would stand up too, right? It doesn't matter who is coming at you, right?
OMT, I predict this kid will let it go away with out pressing the issue....Miami can be a very dangerous place for somebody in his position if he cause prolems.......He's done enough already....He needs to just go away and let it die"
This may sound all cowardly and stuff, but I would back down. Honestly, a huge guy like Derrick, who is seriously pissed off, is not someone to be messing with. There is a difference between bravery and stupidity, and this kid crossed the line into stupidity. You don't have to be all "I'm sorry Mr. Rodgers, let me shine your shoes and here is 100 dollars for your troubles." You should say, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize that I had intruded, I'll be leaving now." or something of the sort.
I agree with you when you say you think he will let it go away. It would be in his best interest to let it go, and I'm sure he knows it......
