I like Colin Cowherd's take on this stuff: If you see it call it, but don't call something that didn't happen.


Give the benefit of the doubt to the players unless it is obvious.


The refs are way to aggressive on calls, IMO.

That is probably why the letter was issued - the Chiefs' inquiry to the NFL also probably said the same thing. Maybe that's the words the ref actually used, which would be wrong. I still think it was a proper personal foul even if he got the wording wrong.

When the NFL makes a new rule, they train the officials by going over videos of when to apply the penalty. They don't concentrate on the wording. I'm sure the ref thought the play looked like plays the league taught him were penalties now.

That's really a baseless assumption

Why is it baseless?

"Not a helmet to helmet hit" is the only detail Teicher mentions. Why is it baseless to conclude that's what the inquiry was about?

Whitlock cant play any card BUT the race card. He sure as hell can play the "knowledge about anything" card.

Hes as useless as Paris Hilton explaining physics.

Paris isn't good at explaining physics, she is better at applying physics:


When "it" comes up, she must go down.....

It's baseless because you have no idea if the letter from the NFL was clarifying the language or simply saying the call was wrong period, and should not have been made. You're saying words like "probably" based on nothing. Therefore it's baseless.

The Ngata call was okay - hands to the head.

The call against Suggs was a joke. It was incidental contact.

Okay. So where does this whole "apology" nonsense come from then?

Nothing.

Therefore it's baseless.

They wouldn't have issued an apology if they were clarifying the language.

Why can't there be a 5-yard running-into-the-Brady call and a 15-yard roughing-the-Brady call?

Rule Change No. 3: Unnecessary roughness has been expanded to include shots to a defenseless receiver's head.
The amendment states, a penalty will be called "If the initial force of the contact by a defender's helmet, forearm, or shoulder is to the head or neck area of a defenseless receiver who is catching or attempting to catch a pass."

He hit him in the chest with his shoulder. It was a bad call. They sent a letter saying the unnecessary roughness call was a mistake. I just can't imagine what you would need to convince you. At this point you MUST just be trolling.
