Cary Williams shoving the ref

It will be very interesting to see the media comments, if any, surrounding Williams' blatant shove and the subsequent blind-eye... didn't even get a personal foul flag (there was one thrown, but on a different player and not by that ref). I don't even recall hearing it mentioned by the announcers after the fact. We all understand that the league isn't really interested in removing stars from the game on the biggest stages, but I was shocked at the total lack of reaction.

I just remember the poo that Cam received and how big of an issue was made when he touched Boger. It just shows that the media does have a agenda. They turned a blind eye to that push by Williams. I was rooting for the Ravens and was like Oh Poo he just got ejected. I guess the refs can be overwhelmed at the Superbowl just like players.

After all the flags (and a couple of hats) that were thrown in that fight, the fact that Williams wasn't sent to the locker room was only one of the things that I was amazed by. I was forced to wonder if they tell the refs that ejection is only to be used in the most blatant of cases.

That was pretty blatant.

Lots of things that might have drawn flags in other games didn't last night. It'd help to know if he said anything to the ref and if so, what (like say "watch out"). Regardless, he'll probably get fined.

Speculation that the Ravens might not be able to keep Williams next season, by the way. I'd definitely hope Gettleman checks him out.

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
