It's not cheating if the refs don't call it.
This post and the example that went with it is are just further proof that Roughing The Passer is the most biased call. Brees and Nowleans were the feel good story that year, Favre was the arrogant prima donna traitor of all arrogant prima donna traitors. The league knew they wouldn't sell nearly as much merchandise if an asshole won the SB, so they looked the other way when New Orleans defense raped him. The Saints didn't get to do that to Pey Pey the next game , but if they had played a random Browns or Chiefs QB the refs wouldve more or less said "Rape On!!!"
The league only wants to protect the likable QB's that sell the most merchandise, they couldn't care less about the safety of the nobodies and assholes, and that's bullshit
