Demario Douglas

Watch he'll miss the next Four games.

True

Another thing that bugged me is that they used the clothesline hit as a highlight coming back from commercial. Not a good look. At all.

That pissed me off, too.

And the commentators were awful. It's not a good game, but at least try to focus on the game.

And the awful Italian stereotype stuff.....oof.

Italians seem to be one of the few groups that can still be mocked or reduced to stereotypes with zero repercussions.

That was a forearm shiver to the face. That was the dirtiest hit I have seen in years, and not a word was said about it. And when it was reported that Douglas was out with a head injury the dipshit in the booth went back to blowing the Giants. That was really ****ed up,

Was crazy that the announcers didn’t even say anything about it after it happened and everyone went on as the thing was normal. Announcers, players on both teams, etc.

Peppers and Demario were pretty vocal with their displeasure after the game...and during it.

Well, I mean. DeVito and his family were doing it so...

Vilma should never be allowed near another Patriots game.

IT IS NOT RIGHT AS ITALIANS DON'T ***** ABOUT IT.

 

[Ivan]

"Section 2, Article 14(c) : "All players are prohibited from striking, swinging at or clubbing the head, neck or face of an opponent with the wrist(s), arm(s), elbow(s) or hand(s)"

So there's that.

And then Ted Johnson saying it's legal to do that....a former player

Ted gave his brain in service to the Patriots.

 

[1960Pats]

Take what Ted says with a huge grain of salt, he has had his share of concussions..

I was thinking the same thing. He probably experienced every example of those violations from both sides. It might be why he doesn't see a problem with it.

Football really is a game for awfully tough and talented men and the problem I see now is that it's become dirtier.

I love a good joke no matter who it hits. I once had a friend tell me a joke that hit both halves of my ancestry at once and I still smile when I think about it.

Gave out a few as well

Not sure about dirtier, but I’ve definitely noticed, starting in the college ranks, tackling has become abysmal. Going high then body slamming due to horrible techniques. Terrible leverages, accompanied with late whistles, are going to cause injuries.

Peppers becoming the new Rodney

The hit looked dirty as hell. He could have gotten seriously hurt. I was disappointed that none of his teammates got up and into that defenders face.

As a former linebacker I’m definitely not surprised that Vilma had nothing to say,

 

[captain stone]

Dude got tackled with WWF move

Stan the (loaded) Lariat Hansen - who should've been champion for at least a few months while Sammartino recovered - would've approved of that hit...
So too would've Rodney Harrison.

Yep, especially after the ball had gone out-of-bounds... Then the other 10 Pats players should've focused their attention on Cam Brown.

It's really just a single group under which most Italians fall. Go to any comedy club and it's amazing how comedians are scared ****less of making fun of anything or anyone that doesn't belong to that group.
