re: The hit on TM7 after the td in the endzone

Moron. The play is over after the goal line is crossed. It's called a late hit. It's a personal foul. It should be called and would have been had the players switched jerseys. Tell me you understand now...or, you're telling me all I need to know if you don't.

You're pretty fricking ignorant.

Because I don't agree that a late hit should have been called?

To many candy arse penalties are called in football and that would have been a candy arse call. Gotta let em play.

A late hit is a penalty. Not one to be called at the discretion of the referee because by some subjective measurement someone 'deserved' it. You can argue that because momentum brought the hit on and not malice that it didn't warrant a flag, but to say it wasn't a penalty because someone deserved it is fricking ignorant.

They both fall under pussification of football IMO. How many times do running backs get hit in the endzone after they cross the goal line? Suppose TM7 had walked into the endzone and got hit a foot over the goal line? How about when people get hit a foot out of bounds when they're still running and don't get called? Calling penalties in football is largely subjective and depends on what the man holding the flag sees or thinks he sees. You can call holding on every single play. There are certain things that just don't need to be called. Had the roles been reversed, and LSU got called for that, 80% of the rant would have been in an uproar.

I think they're related because they fall under the category that there are certain things in football that you have to pay for. Had I been that guy, I would have hit him. And so would you. And so would anybody else who plays football.

Grammar edit

I think you guys are misreading my opinion here.

I'm not arguing that it was a late hit that shouldn't have been called.

It's TM7's fault that he got hit. He slowed down and got hit in the back because of it and he deserved it. What happened on that play should never be called a late hit even if he hadn't pulled up and the guy had just caught him outright. Had he kept running than it wouldn't have happened unless the guy ran him down in the back of the endzone. That would have been a late hit and would have been called.

What I'm saying is he deserved to get hit for pulling up on the 5. He just happened to get hit on/a little past the goal line and I'm glad it wasn't called. Maybe he will finish the play next time rather than risk a fumble on the 1 after a great return. Had I been the referee, I wouldn't have called that nor would I ever call that. And I'm a tiger fan. That should not have been a penalty and was a good call.

Another BS call in the saints game BTW...

Oh So True!

It was a late hit man, now leave it alone.
