with a last name like spikes, you don't need a nikname.......'spikes' says it all
Huh? It was on the INT return.
we need a nickname for Spikes...
Waiting for Wilfork to be fined on the absolute pummeling of that Bills WR that put him dazed into the locker room
The key word here is "launch", and that's clearly what Spikes did. He led with his his head and "launched". I'm one of the leaders in compaining about the whoooosssification of football, BUT THAT's a play that needed to be called. You can't use the top of your helmet as a weapon and you can't launch at another players head. Its not only the rule its not good football. (just as Brandon Merriweather)
Care to show me the rule? The launching rule protects "defenseless receivers" and hits to the head only protect the QB in the pocket. So unless there was a rule change I missed, he technically didn't do anything wrong.

Rule 12, Section 2, Article 8:
(i) if a player illegally launches into a defenseless opponent. It is an illegal launch if a playyer (1) leaves both feet prior to contact to spring forward and upward into his opponent, and (2) uses any part of his helmet (including the top/crown and forehead/"hairline" parts) to initiate forcible contact against any part of his opponent's body.

He could only be deemed defenseless if defenseless inbcludes not paying attention.Chandler can't be defenseless anymore. It's an INT, he's the defender now.

I've just taken to calling him The Thumper. The two thumps on Spiller and Jackson creating two forced fumble recoveries for the Patriots reinforced that notion for me.we need a nickname for Spikes...
