It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Did I miss the memo that said that the new head hunter rule was only meant for the pre-season? I've seen about a dozen examples that weren't called. The worst was in the Jets@Lions game when a Jete player speared Stafford with the top of his helmet to the QB's chest.
Random? No, not random.I saw a few myself that were pretty obvious but no flag. But you know they're going to call during some random Sunday.

to hell with this rule..what about the air pressure!!!! HUH????????????????? WHEN??? When are they going to check the air pressure in the footballs??? "Article 46!!!! You vill do vat I say and you vill love it!!! I am Uberfuhrer von Gestapo Hiutlerdell and you vill OBEY!!!"
when is somebody in the government going to institute an investigation and get this overt piece of slime behind bars where he belongs???
You want Bob Kraft in prison?Don't forget the corrupt 32. They need to be in prison with that dipshit.
Prison is a stretch but one can very easily make the argument that Kraft is very much to blame for the state that the NFL finds itself in today. He’s been one of Goodell’s biggest vocal supporters which means that he’s had significant sway in all of this behind the scenes (since Goodell is really just a puppet of the owners).You want Bob Kraft in prison?
"Just a puppet"? R. Stokoe Goodell has ample autonomy, make no mistake about that. He is responsible for hatching all sorts of highly questionable initiatives while clearly taking advantage of petty rivalries between owners or factions of owners. The owners are far from united in directing him or blessed with the individual power to micro-manage the commissioner's whims. Where they can make a difference is in who they ultimately choose for that job, and they've ill-advisedly kept him in place when they need someone who sees his/her mission as protecting and maintaining the game's integrity vs. tinkering with it at every opportunity.Prison is a stretch but one can very easily make the argument that Kraft is very much to blame for the state that the NFL finds itself in today.

The owners have significant, if not all the input behind decisions like these. He’s just their shield for when it backfires in the court of public opinion. If that weren’t so, they wouldn’t have backed up the Brinks truck for him when the time came to re-up."Just a puppet"? R. Stokoe Goodell has ample autonomy, make no mistake about that.
