This?




Ridiculous.

Bumping porter.

It should only be a fine.  

I hope this offseason they sort out the hitting thing.   Only hits leading with the head should be called.   And all these should be reviewable.  

Also found it interesting that blandino said the Bryant catch wasn't a catch.

It may be reduced.  My guess is two games.  He's a repeat offender not just of hit during play but also of stuff AFTER the play.  That's why it wasn't just a fine.

Could you link where Blandino said it wasn't a catch?  I've checked his twitter feed and haven't seen the officiating video yet.

He was there.  That's why I curious that Lucy saw this and no one else has.

Would love to hear an explanation as to why the Shawn Williams hit was a foul. It is what it is, I think that all parties need to put it behind them and stop this kind of embarrassment from happening again.

I also fully expect these "hit to the head" plays to become reviewable in the future.

The only explanation I heard that makes any sense was that Shazier didn't leave his feet.  That's all I got.

I wish they were reviewed.  A lot of bang-bang get called that are not.

EDIT:

Found another thread about Blandino.  He didn't say it "wasn't a catch".

He said it may have not been a catch but there wasn't enough evidence to overturn the call.

I quoted the article in the other thread here.
