At the end of the day, it's still football and football is a violent contact sport. Shit happens sometimes.

There is no intent required in the rule. Doesn't matter what he was trying to do that's what he did. I'm actually pretty amazed at how many people here will defend what he did when the list of people in the Chiefs organization that feel it was unnecessary includes Big Reg himself. He was about as close to the line as he could get with his displeasure of the "pick up"
