HUH?!? I never attacked Wilfork last season as I think that is another example of how rough of a game football is. And my "specious at-best understanding of the rulebook" being a "sophistic and cowardly approach" is laughable! I guess the last 10 years of my life I've spent being a high...

A lineman missing a block and tripping the player that beat him is illegal - it's in the rule book. A DL that overruns the play and hits the QB in the head is illegal - it's in the rule book. If a sideline pass is underthrown and a defender is between a player and the ball then the...

Because in the officials eyes he is not a QB, he is a ball carrier. Same reason you can tackle a running back or receiver at the knees if they have the ball. If you wanna push for a change to the rule that is one thing but to equate one thing to the other is quite a stretch. By the way...

What about a receiver who has sold himself up to go over the middle for a ball thrown a little high? Should we make it illegal for a safety to come over and lay out this receiver because he is vulnerable? Football is a violent game w/ injuries and any one of those players is only one play away...

OK. So we'll go w/ your option. He could fight his was all the way up and then try to get at the QB. Seems to me that this would take longer than his route (especially w/ a 240 lb man on your back) and the objective is to get to the QB to knock him down as quickly as you can. And my...

So if I can understand the overwhelming sentiment on this board it is that if a player gets knocked to the ground he should give up as the only way he will make a play is if he hits the person w/ the ball below the knees - and this can cause injury? OK, I guess this is a different game of...

I'm starting to wonder if some of you have ever played football before. He should give up because he was knocked to the ground?!? In the real football world, if you get knocked on your arse you continue the play. Even more, you get your butt to the football and make whatever play you can on...

Re: OT: Mike Bell DEN RB/FB Released He was released because there were other options at RB that were better and he didn't want to be a fullback. Shanahan moved him to fullback and he made no secret he was not happy about the move. He then got a chance at RB again when Travis Henry went...

Nobody knows whether the Pats used the tapes during games or not except for Belichick and maybe a couple others but Schlereth believes they did and I thought he made some good arguments on the issue. Personally, I don't think they used them during games but rather dissected the tapes after...

He's actually never started opposite Champ. Darrent Williams (same draft class as Foxworth) started opposite Champ until he was murdered. Then we went and traded for Dre Bly instead of letting Foxworth get his shot - which really pissed me off. He's played standout as our nickel back and did...

EXACTLY! It's Cartman we are talking about here. He also cut his hair into a comb-over and called himself Cartmenez. Should we get UMAS and Mecha into this so they can complain about the depiction of hispanics in this episode? It's South Park for goodness sakes. Don't take it so seriously...

Come on now. Stan's dad has had some great moments (some even to rival Cartman). How about when he gets a DUI? Or when the boys have to play baseball all summer long while Stan's dad fights dads from other towns? Those are classics!

Good! Can we please let this thing die already!!! I'm not even a Pats fan and I cannot stand that this thing has taken away from the league and the accomplishments of this team. Some people had the Steelers of the 70's they always talks about, somehad the 49ers of the 80's and I had the...

I'll give you the first one (1 foot versus 2) but these are professionals and it should be harder. I have played tackle football from peewees to college and now officiate high school and college. It is NOT 'easy' to carry a person out of bounds although it is possible. But just because...

Too all those who don't like the new force out rule, you realize that they are just bringing the game back to the way it was don't you? This is the way the game is played in high school and college (there is no force out, you are either in or you are not). And you cannot carry a player out as...

Didn't say the average fan didn't know, just that they don't care...

Yep. But all you guys making it out to be about looks crack me up! I highly doubt the average NFL fan even cares who Brady is dating, how he dresses/looks or anything else remotely connected to this. Too funny!!!:rofl:

Being a Broncos fan I've had the honor of laughing at this guy the last few years. I'm actually disappointed he will not be w/ the Chiefs next year. Trust me, you do not want him on your team. He has some talent but is often out of position and unreliable. He does not seem to pick up schemes...

Re: Ugh Faulk Arrested (Yes Kevin) Thank god none or Travis Henry would never suit up and McFadden wouldn't be eligible to play til '09. My point is that what happened to him is much ado about nothing and I can guarantee you that he will not be suspended any games for this either. If...

Re: Ugh Faulk Arrested (Yes Kevin) So I'm taking from your post that it is more harmful to society to smoke a couple j's at a concert than to father kids out of wedlock?
