Dangerous hit - Jaguars & Texans

In the past two days...

...we have had the Michigan State/Ohio fight;
The University of Houston/ Brigham Young University fight;
and now this....

Considering a lot of the issues pro sports and particularily football have had in the past few years does anyone NOT see a pattern here?

Expect more of this kind of thing.

Love it!

Sports is entertainment!
 
He must have learned that in juvvy or Bronx house of detention.

The flag was flying before Lawrence hit the ground and his teammate came to give his opinion almost as fast. Clearly bush league.

Yes, but I will not say more!
 
We have another pre-Madonna Wide out on the Steelers (again) who did his best to get kicked out of the Bengals game yesterday. It's pretty easy to understand why they act like morons on the field when you consider they wear their tested IQ scores on the back of their shirts. Now that the college players are getting paid (I still haven't figured out the formula for that) we'll see more "me me me me" during the games. A "Professional" sports player should be suspended for the rest of the season for flipping off the crowd.

Edit for clarity: He didn’t flip the crowd; he made his fingers as a pistol as he was shooting the crowd. Even in football they try to curtail street actors.

Glad they won!

Tomlin gave him the word

George Pickens' Steelers antics are driving Mike Tomlin mad

The clothesline hit is dangerous. I remember reading some guy in one of the professional wrestling leagues got paralyzed from a clothesline hit. It's snapped his neck.

That's when professional wrestling isn't fake.
 
Children getting paid millions. Fine him 10 million and a one season suspension.

Yes, professional athletes make a lot of money, but as Patrick Ewen so eloquently explained it....

"People complain that pro athletes make a lot of money; but what they don’t understand is that we need a lot of money because we spend a lot of money."

Patrick Ewing

It's probably good that professional athletes aren't paid according to their IQ. Some would be doing quite well, but I'm afraid there would be a good percentage of them on the poverty rolls.:)

Clothesline hit knocks out Trevor Lawrence

https://youtu.be/t4JoJKVhtsM?si=2OJlHP-h3ld_rBb4

As a Clemson graduate and LONG time fan, I’ve seen many, many Trevor Lawrence games. I think he’s a good kid and does things the right way, unlike another former Clemson QB in the league. He’s definitely not playing like I thought he would when he was drafted #1, and frustrates me to no end sometimes, but no one deserves a hit like that. If I’m not mistaken, he has recently come back from injury, and as we now know, concussions are the injury that keeps on giving, now and in the future, for some players. Prayers for his quick and complete recovery.🙏

I suspect a 3-game suspension and a huge fine...

A 3 game suspension is a huge fine. Millions, depending on the contract. A good chance the suspension could be for the remainder of the season! The league will want to send a very strong message.

He apologized and claims it wasn't intentional. Could be. I froze the video several times and it looks like they were only 6 feet apart when Lawrence began to slide at the same time Al-Shaair began his dive.

But still, against the rules. You let it go and it'll happen all the time.
 
From Jon Runyan NFL VP of policy and rules administration after levying a three game suspension this morning.

"Your lack of sportsmanship and respect for the game of football and all those who play, coach, and enjoy watching it, is troubling and does not reflect the core values of the NFL," Runyan wrote. "Your continued disregard for NFL playing rules puts the health and safety of both you and your opponents in jeopardy and will not be tolerated."
 
Leading with the forearm like that should be an instant exclusion offense, regardless of the circumstances. Even so, I take issue with some of the stuff in that video.

First, when you watch that hit full speed, I have to call BS on the commentators who say the defender had time to pull out of a hit. I see roughing the passer calls all the time where the defender has no chance to pull out of the hit because they are already airborne or falling on the QB. Human reaction time and physics are what they are, and cannot be changed. American Football is a rough sport, and people are going to get hurt.

I call BS on them again for saying Lawrence is clearly in the sliding posture. Sure, easy to see from the side of the pitch with multiple camera angles. From the defender's perspective? I'm not so convinced, and again it comes down to the time taken for the defender to see, process, decide what to do, and his muscles to act on that decision.
