All of this outrage over a tie. This is what you should be outraged over.

[Ruff]

Not sure what you are getting at.

One player (a franchise QB) who had ankle surgery, and one (leading receiver) who has had a gimpy angle since last weekend. Both targeted by the same opposing player in the same manner. You don't see a pattern there?

But what Spikes did is not uncommon on the football field. Perhaps that is why The Golden Calf of Bristol said, "I don't think that we did anything in that game that they didn't do." Perhaps that is why Ealey said that Spikes should not have been suspended.

What Spikes did might have been inexcusable, but it certainly is not the first time a player has attempted to deliberately injure someone in the heat of a game.

That is the nature of the dogpile in football. Players fight for leverage, they fight for the football. Cameras rarely catch the nastiness of the mass of humanity in a pile, so players tell the horror stories for themselves.

UCF receiver A.J. Guyton had his calf deliberately stomped.

Former Gators defensive lineman Clint McMillan nearly had his eyes gouged in a game against Eastern Michigan in 2004.

UCF defensive end Bruce Miller sheepishly admits he has thrown a few punches himself.

Walter Payton was known for pinching when he got caught in the middle of a pile. Titans center Kevin Mawae once told a story about a high school teammate using a shoelace to choke somebody in a pile. Then there are the stories of, ahem, unmentionables being squeezed.

It's actually commonplace in football.

Fine that female dog

Doubt they will.. But I hope the league will review both plays..

 

Goes after two guys with ankle injuries

What a piece of poo.

Looks like we might have a criminal in the NFL. Hopefully he beats his girlfriend 3 times and outta the league permanently.

 

 

And people wonder why they always scream racism....

He will be drooling and pry off himself in 15 years because he leads with his head and gets concussed every other week. Not the brightest player

Where are the Refs and their finger in the wind foul calls when u need them? They make foul calls that make no sense when it comes to certain teams, while ignoring blatant foul calls with other. SMH

This is what I have been trying to stress. This is clearly deliberate with intent on targeting them specifically knowing their previous injuries.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

needs to be suspended for multiple games

[micnificent28]

This is sports. Hurting anyone intentionally is just criminal. The NFL would not ban him for hurting someone intentionally but they sure would ban him if he beat up his girlfriend a couple times.

Who has ever went to jail for intentionally hurting someone in the NFL? And why does he have to beat his girlfriend?

[Datawire]

While we are at it, why not an intentional nut shot by Burfict.

 

[antame]

Wow. I hadn't seen that. That is really bad. He could easily have ended two NFL careers today. Looks like he let up on Cam and Olsen rolled out of it, but that needs to be addressed by league by immediately.

 

For all the fuss over the rules against good clean football hits these days, I always thought there was understanding between players not to take out a guy's legs like that. That's not cool.

[antame]

Guess for now we should all be grateful that Burfict sucks at ankle locks.
