I agree with gostangs - the first hit was a hard hit but legit - the second was a cheap shot and should have been a personal foul (flagrant at that)

I guess I can agree with that. Actually I would have called it unsportsmanlike conduct since if you get a second one of those you are ejected. But the initial ΓÇ£going after the QBΓÇ¥ was a good move in my mind.

To be clear, this is the play I consider to be dirty and way over the line by #94.

The more I see it the more I think it is ok. The young man just stayed with his block. When the officials blew the whistle and came running in he stopped.

1) new rules are that you can can't just knock the crap out of the quarterback on an INT, especially when they aren't trying to make a play on the ball.
2) They both held him on the first take down. Flag.
3) The second take down is a cheap shot and it isn't even close to a block, it is a tackle.

That crap doesn't need to be in the game. I get it, old school, blah blah. But it is absurd.

The return man on the interception was progressing to the area. The block was warranted. The officials were looking right at them so apparently there was no holding nor was there any other foul. No flag thrown. Offensive lineman block line that in every play. Sometimes called, sometimes not.

I get it. New school. Blah, blah, blah. Participation trophy for all and let’s play flag football.

I agree. Tennis and golf. Ban all other sports.

Was hit in head from errand tee shot. Maybe CTE. So mrydel, reduce your list to Tennis only.
