So with these rules it is only allowed to hit people in the torso when he is holding the ball and ready. The bull shite they just called in the Florida game when the O lineman goes for a D lineman and the D lineman flattens him, thus getting called for a personal foul is called week after week. What has football become? Also Florida can't even celebrate a game winning field goal by jumping up and down due to the possibility of getting an excessive celebration call, FOR JUMPING UP AND DOWN.

So to sum it up, we can't be too happy, too sad, or too violent in football anymore. Refs just own the game, and frick it up week after week.

Football isn't a contact sport. It's a collision sport. Dancing is a contact sport.

Worst part about that penalty call was the OL ran up to him and tried to knock him over, and the Arky DL player didn't even try to hit him. He just stood up and the dude flew off.

Gladwell's new article will make you think twice about being so cavalier about it.

BOOM! And yeah, I play a contact sport that has laws in place which exist purely for safety reasons, so frick off to you guys who think that injuries are cool.

thats an excellent question. im not an arky fan but you shouldve seen my friends and i cursing at the tv. those were some terrible calls. refs are controlling games way too much, its sad really. every time their is a long pass i think they will throw a flag for P.I.
