re: 49ers LB Brooks: Maybe the refs were "for the Saints"

I actually don't like the call , or at least the rule, but that's the rule now and the Saints have gotten just as screwed on the same type of call. If the Saints are gonna get screwed on a call just like that, then that call has to be made.

I don't like the rule where if you touch a QB near the face it's a flag. I don't like the crap where if the ball carrier lowers himself into you making you hit his head when you wouldn't have it's a flag.

This was neither. This was was vicious high hit on an unsuspecting QB who had no time to react and adjust his body to cause the hit to be higher than it was aimed. And as some have said, this is the type of hit that would have been flagged decades ago for clotheslining Drew, not a new product of the "pussifying of the NFL" in the last few years.

It's annoying to have all the talking heads talk as if this was a game-winning penalty that came from a pinky touching Drew's helmet or something. Brooks had a clear shot and could have hit him lower but instead decided to try and killshot him. Deserved the flag and whatever fines he has coming.
