re: SI.com Photos of the Week (LSU pic)

I'm still trying to figure out what is so difficult for everyone to understand on the play in question. This is pretty simple. The play was dead due to the false start, so the facemask never happened.

Then, everyone wants to change the scenario and talk about ripping helmets off and throw them in the stands or other really egregious acts. At that point, the officials can make a judgment call and call a personal foul. In this case, they assessed that the face mask did not warrant such (correctly so).

I've had my disagreements with Arrakis also, but in this case, he has been pretty clear about stating the rules, yet everyone still wants to argue.
