Ryan Clark...
 
Same guy who laid the dirty hit on Welker a few weeks ago puts the same type of hit on Willis McGahee in today's AFC Championship game. I'm sure you all saw it...so I don't need to explain it. Only difference is that McGahee had the ball. He still hasn't gotten up.

Don't tell me he didn't lead with his helmet. The helmet to helmet was the first thing to make contact. I hope McGahee's ok.

I find it hard to believe it was a clean hit and is anyone else sick of Jim Nantz?

Same here. Good luck Willis.

We can fantasize that Goodall will actually take action this time. Clark ducking his head at least saved himself from a broken neck by twisting sideways for the hit.

Ryan Clark needs to be suspended. That was CLEARLY a head hunting move by Clark. Nantz is an idiot for saying that Clark didn't lead with the helmet.. He sure as hell did.

BTW, I did notice a league official in a trench coat down on the field while McGahee was being worked on.

I saw it and the Welker hit was the first thing that jumped into my head. The hit on McGahee was the 3rd helmet to helmet hit I saw a Steeler lay on a Raven tonight. Everytime the Raven needed help off the field.

I'm sorry but it makes no sense to me that you will protect a QB from a hand to the helmet but won't fine players like Clark for repeated hits like the one he laid on McGahee tonight. :mad:

That was a very vicious hit and I would say it was dirty. They just showed the hit again in slow-mo and you can clearly see Clark tuck his arms into his body, lowering his head and lunging at McGahee.

I will be rooting HARD for the Cardinals to beat the living **** out of these bully steelers.

Clark should be suspended indefinitely if Goddell had any balls.

Looked dirty to me.

He also led with his helmet on a low hit on Mcgahee's knee earlier in the game. He is a dirty player, plain and simple. On the hit where Mcgahee got hurt, there was no attempt to tackle, no wrapping up the player, just a hit where he left his feet and launched himself with his helmet.
