Let's take Saccopoo above, for example.

Do you think he may be letting his Chiefs' allegiance distort his view a bit?

I'll say this for you - you're about the only one here who admits the Teicher article doesn't say what the Teicher article doesn't say.

Too bad you don't have the courage of your convictions to say that directly to other Chiefs fans.

I see you have stopped trying to defend the call as correct. That's refreshing. Still, seizing on the minor point that people are calling it an apology when perhaps it's only an admission that they were wrong is silly.

Once again, you have lept to an unwarranted conclusion.

I have made NO such remission. I still say the call was right. I still say the Teicher article is completely unclear as to whether the league now says there should have been a penalty.

I HAVE allowed that IF the League has backed off, it could ONLY BE because they've decided it wasn't the neck area. Be that as it may, it was close enough to force the ref to make a judgement call. A smarter play would not do that.

The call was wrong and the NFL admitted it in their letter. If the call was right Page would be getting a fine. No fine no foul.

This is not correct. All Unnecessary Roughness penalties don't draw a fine - only flagrant ones. I posted the point a few posts up.

2008 NFL Fine Schedule

Flagrant Personal Foul
Suspension or fine; severity to be determined by degree of violation; the fine may be $10,000 or higher for first offense.

The call on the field was helmet to helmet. It was a BS call and that is why he is not getting a fine.
