Take a look at this one. The helmet makes first contact. I don't know how to do the fancy html video-in-posts like that....but the link should work all the same.

I hope Ryan Clark leaves the Superbowl on a stretcher. It would only be justice.
Tomlin clearly teaches this, Limas Sweed did this earlier in the game. The Hines Ward "headbutt" earlier in the year.
Didn't Rodney Harrison make a heck of career for himself making Hits like that? Hypocrites. I said before before when Ryan Clark cleaned up on Wes Welker only if we had a Safety that Hits like that.
Now, I KNOW you Pat's fans hate Pittsburgh, and ya know...the feelings are mutual from most Steeler fans. So I can live with that. I also know, that due to your hatred of the Steelers, you'll look for ANYTHING to ***** and whine about, which by the way is kinda pathetic. I also know that most Pat's fans, whether they would admit it or not, are jealous of the Steelers superior defense. So, I guess this thread makes perfect sense based on all of that. Suprisingly, there are a few of you on this thread who see things clearly, without clouded judgement, and KNOW the game of football. The hit was clean. There will be no punishment. So, you all can quit talking about that now. He attempted to lead with his right shoulder, although Willis kinda "turned into the hit", which resulted in the helmets colliding. Was it a "viscious" hit? Absolutely, but that's the game a football, and the defender's objective is to STOP the ball-carrier, not gently direct him to the ground.
With all that being said PatsFanInEagleLand....you are a DISGRACE to football fans everywhere, and really just a sad, pathetic human being. WISHING players to be carted off the field?! Really? It takes a certain level of ignorance just to THINK something like that, but a whole other level to POST it publicly. Unbelievable. I suppose we all should expect this from you, since your a Pats fan (who HATES all things Steelers) and living in "Eagle's land", which has the most ridiculous, hateful fans in the country. Stick to booing Santa dude. It's still pathetic, but at least you're not actually hoping for physical harm to athletes.
'Your' safety deliberately led with his helmet, went helmet-on-helmet with an opposing player, and caused the guy to be carted off the field. You can ballwash the guy all you want, but it doesn't change the fact that he's a dirty player. Acting as if it's about jealousy is just stupid.
Acting as if all of your whining about the Steeler's defense ISN'T about jealousy is just stupid. You know damn well if Clark were a Patriot, you'd be the first one saying the hit was clean (which it was). I'm not ball-washing by any means. In fact, I agree that the hit on Welker was ridiculous, and he deserved punishment. It was stupis and unnecessary. But, THIS hit wasn't the same. I mean, I get it. Pats fans are still sore about that Welker hit, so they wanna criminalize every hard hit he makes now. I can see that, from a fan's prospetive. But honestly, I initially thought the thread was kinda "funny", certainly NOT because McGahee got hurt, but because Pats fans are already crying about it. To me, it crossed the line when someone starts calling for Clark to be "carted off the field" in the Super Bowl. I would have gladly just lurked on this thread and took it for what it's worth, but when people say stupid stuff like PatsFanInEagleLand did, I think they need to be called out. So I did. I know I'll take some crap for it, and whatever....have at it. BUT, do you think remarks like his are a good representation of all of you, as Pats fans? I hope not.

The Welker hit has nothing to do with the hit last night. Last night, the replay clearly showed him go helmet to helmet. As for jealousy, why the hell would I be jealous of the Steelers? I'm a Patriots fan, which means that the team I cheer for has won 3 Super Bowls this decade, has been to 4 in that time, and would probably have been to, and won, another this season if Brady hadn't gone down.
As for his remarks, actually, I hope that Clark is suspended for the Super Bowl. That's what his actions merit.

McGahee was carted off the field because of a dirty hit, yeah I feel he deserves the same thing he dished out. Let the punishment fit the crime. It is obvious they are taught this by their coach, I hope he gets what is coming to him to, Barry Switzer, Jr is a thug and his players are dirty.
All this coming from the same fan base that specifically made a t-shirt celebrating Brady's knee injury. Classy folks you got down there in Steeltown.
If Clark was on the Patriots and laid that hit on a Steeler, you'd be complaining that he was dirty.
Rodney hears it all the time and I haven't seen him drill someone that hard ever.
clark led with the shoulder
it's clear as day lol
i mean look at it, he's leading with his shoulder, it's obvious
i think you're just letting your hatred for the guy cloud your sensibilities
