You are a homer.

If this were Harrison you would be calling for 5 games.

BINGO!!!! Hadn't seen anyone acknowlege this before. I watched the replay several times today. BOTH players lead with their helmet and made helmet to helmet contact.

The punishment doesn't fit the crime in this matter. It should have been much more severe for BOTH..........

like I said before, the punishment for a first time offender when compared to a guy who has been fined and suspended countless times should not be the same

I posted the video on page one near the bottom. Rhodes helmet didnt hit Boldin, his shoulder did.

OK let me make myself more clear. That is a 3 - 5 game and a $100,000 hit. I don't care if it was John Lynch, or Troy Brown.

They were all over us for showing no mercy last year, "running up scores." Has it been mentioned that both of these hits were a bit overkill with 27 seconds left and a 21 point lead? I doubt it.

that is over board, Harrison at his worst never got anything close to that and he has some real malicious shots when he was a Charger. You can not suspend a player for 1/3 of a season for one stupid play and on top of that take nearly his entire salary. For example you would penalize smith more then a player who broke the league substance abuse policy

Why are the cards throwing it with 27 seconds left down 21? I dont want my team to stop playing.

You can observe what happened but you cannot observe intent.

The suspension was for what he did, not what he intended to do.

Technically, since this is a PATS fan site, he isn't a homer.

I'm a homer. He'd be a homer if he went to a Jets board to discuss his team. Here he is just a troll.
