The parity in this league is astounding. No favoritism at all here. Way to go NFL on ruining the game!
A hand gets up in a quarterback's face and leaves him with a bloody, broken nose. No flag is thrown. It wasn't under a pile or anything, it was right in front of everybody. You're confused you say?
bvious: How could this happen at the very time the league is severely cracking down on penalties you wonder?
Then I'll tell you it was only Ben Roethlisberger. Now you feel better? You are allowed to cold-cock ben on the field of play and not get a penalty or fine. Remember that rule? It was passed the game before when a linebacker cold-cocked him and no penalty was called. Refs might have missed it. Good thing it wasn't James Harrison making the hit to Ben. O - I forgot he's not allowed to hit any more. They would fine him. In fact they have shown they will fine him again and again until he "learns how to hit".
It's a good thing they started flagging flagrant damaging hits in 2010(used to be called unnecessary roughing or something like that) just in the nick of time for Heath Miller. Boy, think of how he could have become the poster child for malicious hits if they wouldn't come down on hits like that so hard. Way to go NFL! Really sent a message this year. The National Football League really made a difference and sent a
valuable message this year.
* Editor's note: Anybody know what that message was? If you could help me get it, I'm not quite getting it.
Not to mention two helmet-to-helmet hits to Heinz Ward over the past 4 games. Wow I love this game :jerkoff: It really epitomizes the meaning of "sportsmanship".
