Casey Hampton uses Wilfork's 'slap in the face' in reference to getting tagged

[Rob0729]

While it is true what you mentioned, it is also a little misleading. Big Ben will hold, hold, hold, hold, release and splat, thud, boom, and get pummeled. Brady usually does the quick release and still manages to get hit, tho not registered as a sack.

Yes and no, Ben does like to hold onto the ball a lot, but he also is so big and mobile that he avoids a lot of sacks too. So he might get some sacks because he holds onto the ball too long, but he probably has some throws that he got off that would have gotten a pocket passer like Brady killed.

99% of the entire universe would take a $7M slap in the face, but I'm glad these 'professional' athletes are letting the fans know just how disrespectful it is to make only $7M. How many of their fans are going to even sniff a total of $7M in the next 4-5 decades of working?

Exactly

If they could survive a full season, Brady and Manning would get sacked about 80 times.

The flip side is if Big Ben could be good with a good line? he is the master of the broken play.

And you better start eating 4 McDs Big Macs a day as well

Back in college we were watching a Packer game and Holmgren pulled Gilbert Brown out after a play. One of the guys said, "Hey why'd they pull Gilbert?" And one of the other guys said, "They're gonna have him eat a pepperoni pizza and send him back in."
