Former Jacksonville Jaguars kicker
Josh Lambo has alleged in comments to
the Tampa Bay Times that Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer kicked him during a warmup in the week leading up to their preseason finale against the Dallas Cowboys, adding to the cascade of reputational damage incurred by Meyer in his first NFL season.
"I'm in a lunge position. Left leg forward, right leg back," Lambo told the Times. "... Urban Meyer, while I'm in that stretch position, comes up to me and says, 'Hey dips---, make your f---ing kicks!' And kicks me in the leg."
"It certainly wasn't as hard as he could've done it, but it certainly wasn't a love tap," Lambo added. "Truthfully, I'd register it as a five (out of 10). Which in the workplace, I don't care if it's football or not, the boss can't strike an employee. And for a second, I couldn't believe it actually happened. Pardon my vulgarity, I said, 'Don't you ever f---ing kick me again!' And his response was, 'I'm the head ball Coach, I'll kick you whenever the f--- I want.' ".
