What is the worst rule in all of sports, in your opinion?

[Backwards Masking]

Roughing The Passer, because it's called differently for every QB depending on what team they play for, their salary, public perception, likability and (most disturbing) their marketing power.

What's roughing the passer for Pey Pey is not what's roughing the passer for any random Chiefs or Browns QB. Pey Pey gets a hand graze on the shoulder pad the same instant the ball leaves his hand it's 15 yards and automatic first. Random Chiefs or Browns QB can get hit 3 seconds after the play helmet to helmet and have to leave for a series and it's a great defensive play.

Alright I'm exaggerating a bit but I'm not that far off either.

I disagree.

The shady bounty shit in New Orleans is exactly why QB protections are in place. The Saints cheated by taking cheap shots at QBs. They succeeded in knocking Kurt Warner and Brett Favre out of critical playoff games. Quite possible they won the Minnesota game by cheating, because Favre didn't return for the critical last series of the game.

It's the Tonya Harding effect. QBs are critical to a game, and the last thing you want is for a team to be incentivized to cheat by taking cheap shots that knock a QB out of a game. Most defensive players will take a fine and a 15 yard penalty if it means knocking a QB out of a game.

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
