I absolutely do not understand this one. Pereira left out the fact that CLARK WAS HEAD-HUNTING on that play. The ball wasn't there and everyone knew it. That's why they threw the damn flag. Geez, we've seen fines for much lesser hits than that.

What's truly sad is that Pereira actually seems to believe the BS that comes out of his mouth.

So, apparently, illegal hits become legal ones when it's a Patriot who's on the receiving end?

Does that BS artist still do a segment on NFLN ? I quit watching after he defended the horrible PI call against Samuel vs. Lelie in the Denver playoff game back in 2005.

I have said that before no surpises...it was not a Illegal Hit! I just hope one of our a Safety's could hit like Ryan Clark. The moral of a that none fine is the hit look pretty brutal in slow motion but not in real time or lets say with the naked eye. It was Excellent hit...i wish Ryan Clark had laid one on that Wus Ben Watson!

on one hand, it was an unneeded hit...........on the other hand, he probably knows the rule book better than any of you

if rodney harrison did that to marvin harrison, y'all would be cheering it

OK, so the hit itself might not have been illegal according to the league. But the circumstances surrounding it are what bother me: It's clear that Clark's intention was to lay out Welker and not make a play on the ball. Isn't that a fine-able offense?
