NFL justice

I am not trying to be a smart ars. But, what is there to not understand? Play 1 is against the rules. play 2 is within the rules. I got a speed ticket for 55 in a 45. Aweek later I drove through the same spot and the limit was now posted as 55. I fought the ticket, lost, paid it. The judge said something like, "Well Mr. Speedy, on 01/06/2010 the limit was 45 which is when you received your reward. On 01/13/2010 the rules changed and from then forward you would not be rewarded with a speed ticket for 55 mph on that section of the road.. Have a great day sir."

Some times common sense prevails over the written law. It’s important to understand the reason for the rule. Why is the blindside block rule in existence? To prevent the vicious injury causing hits to occur. Not to punish a reasonable block by an o-lineman. He didn’t have a ten yard run and unload on the guy or chop his knees or give him a massive head shot. In a critical point in a playoff game, really?

When I saw the play live I thought Clowny was trying to intentionally hurt the QB, I thought that is why we put in these rules to keep that from happening. And you can see he clearly lowers his head and hits the other player in the head. Is that not Targeting?

That was the exact argument that they used about "common sense vs written rules" when the Texans player flipped the ball in the endzone to the official without calling for a fair catch or taking a knee. Announcers said " common sense has to prevail" they took the points off the board for Buffalo. Sometimes the officials can literally make the game unwatchable

But that is what upsets me about pro sports. That is like traveling in pro basketball, OMG they let them have three to four steps before a dunk that is traveling!!
