The Brady hit was questionable but I'm still not completely sold on it being dirty. He was sent on a safety blitz up the B-Gap and had to get to the quarterback before the bomb. He was on the ground and did what he had to do. Maybe he had dirty intentions but there's no way it's clear. It's not like what Wilfork did to Losman where it was clear that he intentionally stretched out and aimed for the knee. The Welker and Gronk situations were clearly not his fault.
EDIT: Just to make it clear that I'm not picking on Wilfork, it's also not like the Suggs attempt in 2009.
With the way this guy yaps, are we going to be naive enough to think that important Patriots' players just get hurt around him, no fault of his own, and that is pure coincidence...Come on, now.

Bernard Pollard and major injuries occurring on his tackles are purely coincidental, then?
We're all just piling on poor Bernard; he is actually, as Curly Howard used to say, a victim of circumstances.
I almost never wish for a player to get injured, but I would love to see Pollard carted off the field some day, have the cart make a too quick turn, and watch him fall off the cart as well. Slapstick at it's finest.....
There was nothing dirty about his tackle on Gronk.
Really? I beg to differ, take a good look at it, you will see Pollard twist and turn on Gronks ankle after Gronk was on the ground.
Having said that, I don't have an issue with what he said about Goodell

The Brady injury was the only one that you could even call dirty. He didn't touch Welker and happened to come down awkwardly on Gronk's ankle after having to hold on for dear life. Just because the injury really, really upset you doesn't mean it was dirty.

You should re-watch that injury with a pair of bifocals, my friend.

Brady was winding up for a bomb to Moss, and Pollard tried to make a play.
Call me crazy...but if Kevin Faulk doesn't get suspended for weed, he's in the backfield on this play making one of his many dependable blocks to protect TB12

I never did say the injury was because of the extra little twist, I just said that if you look at it, you'll see him give it a good twist before he lets go. That is intent to injure , I'm sure Pollard put another notch in his jock strap for that tackle.

I am going on record now. Anyone ending his career get 5 cents. Anyone killing him gets 10 cents.
(Hey, overly legalistic jerks, I'm obviously joking to make a point - do not waste time prosecuting me.)

I hate the guy for so many reasons. But only the hit on Brady was even questionable, and I'm not sure I really have a problem with it as far as being "dirty."
I agree. Those were all legal, clean hits. (Except Welker who was not even hit.)
If a guy gets bit by a rattle snake once, it is bad luck. Three times it is bad luck times 3 and maybe there is something else going on. I'm not saying he is dirty.

I will cry at Pollard's funeral as I pay out the ten cents.

Disagree - the hit on Gronk was dirty. He couldn't tackle him with his arms so he swung his body around to land on Gronk's achilles area. And the hit on Brady was definitely dirty.
