Targeting Rules are Bull Shit...

    it's in vogue now to crack down on head injuries. I like the targeting calls if they are justified, eg., a receiver is at times "defenseless" as is a QB. It has to be FLAGRANT, though. The problem I have is that some players are thrown out, but they were only going for a hard hit.

    You can't flag every helmet to helmet hit because they happen on every play. You wouldn't even be able to field a punt return team if every helmet to helmet hit was a penalty. Saying "helmet to helmet" hit is a danger is a sign you never played organized football -- that's half of the contact right there.

    What about the helmet to helmet contact between the linemen that occurs on every single play?

    This guy is the reason why REAL God gave us HarveyRoad. Time to let Harv off his leash and trim the fat.

    What makes you think HarveyRoad wants to come back? Roaming the streets in east Auburn for an extended period is a compelling alternative to discussing Husky "football"

    Check his twitter for two seconds and you'd see he wants to come back.

    Why does Harv follow Phish like a 13 year old girl follows Justin Bieber? Seems pretty gay to me.

    Because jam bands make his peepee tingle like MonaLisaOverdrive on Ginafarm.

    Direct fatality averages in football

    Number/year Period
    18.6 1931-1970
    9.5 1971–1990
    4.2 1991-2007

    Like so many other things, the fucktards are creating a crisis where none exists.

    Brain damage from concussions is the new death. The solution if head-hunting penalties cramp your style and football enjoyment........ would be to get rid of lightweight alloy helmets and facemasks. Believe it or not, I played a season of freshman high school football without facemasks. It was our very first year of tackle football and although it was great fun as expected, most learned valuable leasons from broken or bruised noses, especially the very bloody ones, about proper methods for tackling and blocking.
