His words on the air, are exactly the same as what I have said in this thread. The flag was warranted, to hit a QB in that situation is not the issue, the issue is targeting the knees of a player, especially a guy with surgical repaired knees. You'll defend this, and say but the NFL says, right and courts say O.J. Simpson didn't kill his wife. Technicality is the word for this, the NFL says oh yeah you can hit the QB on a read option play, but anyone with common sense says "you don't go low" it's dirty, and dangerous and deserved the flag. Look at the clip in this very thread of the DE who had a shot just like Suggs had, and didn't take it. Reason, not a dirty player, not looking for a penalty and not out to hurt someone.
The hit could have been chest high, and no one says a word, but your boy T-Sizzle has to dive low, unblocked. Even Steven A Smith, a giant Suggs fan, called the play dirty and unnecessary. There is no honor in playing like that, and as a guy who I think served in the military from previous statements, you seriously want to back this guy? Like I said 4 pages ago, I'm disappointed in both of you, hence why I used the words I choose to use. I called out Burfict for twisting Cam's ankle and the TE, and the nut punch, it's bush league and dirty, yet here you sit still defending a dude who could have hit him square in the chest, but took a shot at a surgically repaired knee instead? Seriously?
If you want to argue that it was a cheap, dirty hit, go ahead. That's your opinion, so I can't tell you that you're wrong. You told us it was a penalty, though, despite the NFL stating it was not, and called us "retards" for telling you that you were wrong.
That's just ridiculous. Almost as ridiculous as trying to compare a legal tackle to someone punching someone in the testicles or grabbing an ankle and twisting it after a play is over. Or comparing the NFL stating that a tackle they have video evidence of was legal to OJ Simpson being found not guilty because a jury did not have enough evidence to convict him.
