There isn't the same media coverage on Wallace 72 for the Steelers, and a penalty was called but suspension for him as well? That's a lineman launching himself helmet to helmet on a db after the play is over.


Wallace should be fined and/or suspended, but he's not on the Madden cover either so of course not as much coverage

I know the press has a "herd" mentality. OBJ's actions will be discussed ad nauseam, and Wallace's ignored. Even though Wallace's action was just as dangerous if not more than OBJ's.

I happened to be watching that game because my son is a big Denver fan, and I don't know if NFL rules would have permitted ejecting Wallace, but if the NFL doesn't want to be seen as complete hypocrites, he certainly should have been.

And if the press wasn't a bunch of lemmings they would be discussing it too since there is supposed to be a big push by the NFL to enforce rules to prevent broken necks/head injuries and on that play in the Bronco game could seen both so a flag didn't seem to go far enough to me to show they are serious about preventing these particular injuries.
