Two things:

1) Great call to overturn that. I was so pissed on Sunday when they threw that flag. Good thing it was late in the game and the Giants basically had it wrapped up.

2) Next time you link to a video with Joe Buck broadcasting, please warn me so that I can mute it quicker. I had to suffer through 2.5 seconds of Buck before pounding the mute button.

Goodell does the right thing, and rescinds the fine. He hadn’t even seen the play until yesterday…

If that tackle becomes a penalty I am going to stop watching pro football altogether.

I agree 100%

Of course, my NFL team is the Saints so I’m really looking for any excuse to abandon pro football.

not that there’s anything wrong with that.

It took me a long time to figure it out too.

Joke. Joke. Joke.

I was incensed at the penalty during the game (even Aikman was incredulous) and even more so with the fine. It was a clean hit; I thought that ‘full weight’ rule only involved a QB being piled on when he was already down.

My question is, if there’s no penalty called on the play, is there even a fine?

I liked it happy. Or as you are apparently called, “gay street”

Thank you tallguy. I find that the more obvious the sarcasm, the lesser the chance is of people noticing it.

That is absolutely ridiculous. I am ashamed for the league that they are fining him, that it even came to that. If that tackle becomes a penalty I am going to stop watching pro football altogether.
