Always good to see a Colts fan get severely demolished. Cartwright is that you? I smelled tuna and knew you were right around the corner, you sandbaggin' son of a ***** you.

Hmmm, apparently you failed to consider that maybe the fact that you don't watch much of any football has something to do with why you don't often see a certain call being made?

Yet you and you alone, with all those football games that you don't watch, are the sole voice of reason?

Good rule. Now the enforcement of it will be tough and will most likely draw some controversy during the season.
Muhammad Ali was arguably the greatest fighter ever and any fighter that tried to mimic his style of leaning back to avoid punches would get his head caved in.

Technically, Ali got his head caved in too. It just took a few years to see the effects.

Leading with your? What does that even mean. Man might as well change the name of the NFL to Sarcastic Ball. Just hug and compliment each other while the no good pos upstairs whipes his ass with 100 dollar bills.

, especially the facemask. If Hands To The Face is good for the goose,
it should be good for the gander too.
Now you really are pussifying the game. When Corey Dillon was here, I was always looking forward to seeing him heel of palm punching some defender.

One of the best stiff armers ever.

If Jim Brown played 18 years instead of nine, he would have too.

Obviously, you aren't from that era.
