Yeah... the Pro Bowl is a vacation and a walk through practice where no one is expected to try too hard or especially not get hurt. But the rest of the league isn't going to be the Pro Bowl because these guys are all competitive. Having said that, I'm glad this guy, Damontae Kazee, has been suspended for rest of season. That was uncalled for. "Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." -- Justice Janice Rogers Brown "The United States government is the largest criminal enterprise on earth." -rduckwor | |||

It was absolutely called for...what kind of defensive back is going to let that mutt float across the middle and catch the ball. That's insulting to the defender. Clearly you guys are correct, though...the league did suspend him for the rest of the season. The Pro Bowl hasn't always been flag football...it used to just use special rules that limited contact. | |||

Tom Brady is correct obviously but that doesn't mean that QB's won't throw bad passes that leave the receiver wildly defenseless. I used to love watching Ronnie Lott and the Raiders stickem guy (?) demolish those receivers. At the time I didn't realize how dangerous and life altering those hits were. The rules are in place for the QB who throws that ball anyways, because it is very self serving to throw that ball instead of taking the sack or throwing it away. Brady is also the poster child for benefitting from said rules, I say that as a Brady fan. He is the GOAT. Having rules that protect players from avoidable injuries and not just relying on the QB not throwing the pass is probably a reasonable middle ground. Maybe I am wrong. I see the idea that the league is soft, it certainly is "softer" than the old days. It is especially so with QB's. Protecting some guy from an unnecessary vicious hit that are dangerous can't/shouldn't be be a bad idea. Maybe they aren't getting it quite right, but they have to protect these guys as well as they can within the confines of a rough sport. Banned for the year? Anybody seen the body of work hit wise that the NFL was working under? I don't follow the Steelers so that might be the first play I have ever seen that guy in. How bad were the other ones? | |||

If you'll refer to my follow-on post at 8:33pm, you'll see I also noted the desire of the defense to cause a fumble...but still... SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>>  | |||

I was going to post about Draymond Green. He is a despicable person, he STOMPED on Domantas Sabonis. He is a repeat offender and should be banned for life but he keeps getting away with many things The list goes on and on, he seems to like to punch and kick other players in the testacles. It’s deliberate. . | |||

I guess I don't understand the rule. I watched that game, and saw the hit and the ejection. It was a hard hit, no doubt, but it didn't look like helmet to helmet, or what is traditionally considered a defenseless receiver (up in the air, full extension, gets hammered, etc.). My initial thought was that it was a hard, but legal, shoulder hit to the mid-body. At this point, I don't understand what the standard is for legal, vs. illegal, hit.

Not what I saw. Shoulder hit to the face, looking at the X video on the first page of this thread. SIGforum: For all your needs! Imagine our influence if every gun owner in America was an NRA member! Click the box>>> | |||

That would make a difference. "I vowed to myself to fight against evil more completely and more wholeheartedly than I ever did before. . . .

Just from that video, it doesn't look particularly malicious. But if he has an established pattern of dirty hits, I could see it being a different story. | |||

Update: I just watched the full speed video on the MSN website, and from that depiction it looks really bad. | |||

Plus everything I have read from the NFL quite clearly states the punishment is HARSH because he has a history of similar illegal hits. That is why I asked if any Steeler fans could speak to his previous history. I honestly have never heard of the guy til this. He didn't get banned for this hit, this was the final straw. Everyone should go watch the Draymond Green stuff. It is over the top crazy. Like nuts on top of a fruitcake crazy. | |||

You’re talking about Jack Tatum who paralyzed Darryl Stingly. With all the NFL is trying to do to avoid future CTE in players it’s pretty obvious an illegal hit. Any hit to the head just like hockey is a no go anymore. I love hard hits but hits to the head are completely unnecessary. They aren’t getting rid of hard hits at all. You can hit someone as hard as you want as long as you don’t go for the head. | |||

No the Raiders stickem guy was the guy who got stickem banned from the league. You made me look him up. Lol. Lester Hayes. That dude would have so much gunk on his hands it was comical. And he delivered huge hits. Jack Tatum did paralyze Stingly but that wasn’t who I was talking about. It was wild back then. I agree with the head shot stuff you said. I also think the rules on being defenseless make sense too. I get it rankles the “purists” but nobody needs to die/paralyzed for a game. | |||

If I hadn’t read this thread, in particular this comment I would not have heard anything about a Super Bowl ban. Did I miss a thread? -------- After the game, the King and the pawn go into the same box. | |||

I haven't yet announced it officially. The NFL despises us. Most of the players despise us. People are insane when it comes to this event, but the truth is that it's not important, really, and I don't want this forum used to celebrate the obscenity and madness of it all. | |||

I meant Lester Hayes was the guy who got stickem banned. Which is why the rule was referred to as the Lester Hayes rule, not the Fred Biletnikoff rule. lol. As teammates I am pretty sure Biletnikoff taught Hayes how to use it, he just took it to a crazy extreme. | |||
