re: NSIAP: ESPN Description of The Hit

Y'all damn well know that if the situation were reversed and Kaepernick had been hit, fumbled ... but then instead, for that same hit ... a Saints player had been flagged then fined then Saints lost game ... you'd be furious. And to say otherwise is just dishonest.

I would be furious, but I'd be mad at our player for screwing up an otherwise great play. If he didn't know it was a penalty, then I'd be made at the coaching staff.

Brees was standing still. He didn't see it coming. He didn't duck down at the last second. Brooks had a clear shot for him and he went high. That's on him, and whatever resulted from it, intentional or not. I don't have any sympathy for him, although I didn't think the fine was necessary.
