Imagine the media's uproar if Brady or another Patriot was caught saying something like that...

I don't blame him; he knew that even if someone from the sidelines jumped into the field of play to make the tackle, the refs wouldn't have flagged him.

I seriously doubt Flacco would have done that.

For a variety of reasons. It would have made a farce of the game. That's the big one.

But the rule also says the refs could just award him a TD.

Can you imagine one of these bozos jumping out of the sidelines to make a tackle, and refs award the Niners an automatic TD with no time left on the clock???? Holy *****...

That's a different story. But the mere words coming out of Flacco's mouth.... Had Brady got caught suggesting something like that, everybody and their mother would jump with the cheating *****.

There is actually an NFL rule that allows refs to give to give a team points if they feel a team would have scored but didn't because of some outside reason like getting tackled by a non-player.

With the way that game was called, i have no doubt that ginn would have been flagged 15 yards for roughing the passer, had flacco attempted to tackle him on the punt return.

Think he might have been joking a bit. But it would have been funny to watch.
I actually wondered what the call would be if something like that happened.

As true as this is, I still LOLed when I heard Flacco. Don't think it's a big deal.

If Brady would have won the Super Bowl, the only ones complaining would have been the haters. Just like it is now for Flacco and the Ravens' hater.
