I appreciate your retort. He "olayed" the play clean and simple in the Colts game. He was reluctant to hit. If you see it different then you would be wrong then, wouldn't you?
No. I've already said that you are wrong and that Sanders didn't "OLAY" the play. You just have has this fascinating hatred of the guy ever since you started posting on the board. Every time you flap your trap about him, everyone knows you don't know what you are talking about.
O.K. lets look at your next theory. A Colt FG in that drive just tied the game and the Pats are still in a position of worse case scenario, OT. You are saying that BB allowed Adai to score to get the ball back, now down by four with a minute to play?
With Brady as the QB? Why not. If Belichick has the faith in the offense, which he did.
Sanders wasn't moving side to side. He was running straight on to Adai and then Sanders just side stepped him!
Keep telling yourself that. Maybe in some alternate reality it might be true. But not in this world.
In a huge game like the SB you don't at least try to back up your team mate instead of standing there staring aimlessly? Don't you fly to the ball and get into the hit? The idea was to break the pass up, not take a PI. He gets a finger on the ball and maybe the result is different. Gang tackle and fly to the ball are part of the game. A field spectator is not. The rule states that as soon as the WR touches the ball you can knock the hell out of him. How many people agree with me that even a half a hit knocks the ball out of Tyrees hands? I bet you even agree with that. I have seen the replay too. ....many times!......So this was Assantes' fault?
Yes, Asante (can't you even get the guy's name right?) fault. He blew the coverage to begin with idiot. Its how Tyree was open in front of Harrison. Its why Harrison had to attempt the great play that he did. As for your other stupidity, Sanders wasn't "just standing there WATCHING". You can't tell what he was doing from a still picture. Also, NO, you don't gang tackle a guy who is in the air the way Tyree was. Had Sanders done so, it have been an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty. And the rule says you cannot hit a defenseless player, regardless of whether he has the ball.
And, considering the hit that Rodney laid on him, its pure speculation that any other hit would have done ANYTHING. I don't care what you claim to have seen. You've proven time and again that your BIAS against Sanders makes you incapable of making a rational determination of what his actions are.
I realize you are one on the stars on the board and I do not want to tick you off, but there are other valid opinions out there. No disrespect. I might not always be right (i am in this case). It doesn't make a difference what you and I think anyway, does it?
No, in this case you are wrong. As you always have been about Sanders. You've been told so by numerous other people besides me. Your opinion is worthless because of your bias against Sanders. The bias you made long before the plays in question. So, how about just keeping your opinion on sanders to yourself since its as tired as a broken record. I wasn't the first person to call you out on this in this thread. And you need to realize that you are the one who made your opinion worthless on Sanders. Not anyone else.
Yep.... been a season ticket holder and have sat in my share of ice puddles up to my knees. I have actually played too.
We do this forum for pleasure. Lighten up there Francis.
I hope your guy Sanders has a spectacular season. Then you can "told-you-so" me all you want.

Flag football doesn't count. Neither does buying season tickets to the local pop warner team's games.
Sanders isn't "my guy." But when you continuously post your irrational and biased opinions about him to the point of absurdity, I feel that I do need to remind you that its not just been me who has told you how wrong you are about Sanders. Plenty of others have also.
