It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Except the Seahawks have been caught multiple times, and the last time Pete Carroll basically thumbed his nose at the league office, and came out saying that the fine he paid was worth the infraction.
This will probably get merged, but, for once, I can say that this is not the Seahawks "getting held to a higher standard."
This is actually the Seahawks' third violation of the OTA rules since 2012.
There's no comparison between putting a few ounces less air in a ball (if it happened) and risking the health and safety of your own players repeatedly. So, I don't think Seattle joins our company.
So, conflating two players accidentally colliding during practice into "excessive on-field contact" isn't the same as mis-representing the facts of the pressure inside a football?
Sure seems to me that, in both cases, the NFL is lying out its ass about what happened.
Look, if the rule says "zero contact" you better make very sure there's no contact going on. BB and the Pats don't have a problem following this rule and you know the league would love to throw the book at them for something else.
The rule says No excessive contact. And two players accidentally colliding into one another happens. If you think it doesn't happen then there is no help for you.
