In fact, I'm pretty sure he probably thought he heard me insult his mother, and to watch out because I was coming for him and the rest of his family after the regional.

It was a gross misunderstanding, and no doubt we will laugh long and hard about this for years to come.

I don't know if there were comments targeted at Karthik about his reaction after this incident, but again, I implore you guys to calm down and understand the context in which all this occurred. If those comments were directed at me and my reaction regarding hitting the lexan, I'm fine with that. That was pretty tasteless, and it won't happen again.
Thank you for posting this. I saw this "shove" into Karthik and I could not believe what I saw from a team that I look up to. Thanks for the explanation.
