And, newslfash, going at or below the knees is a penalty now. You may not have heard, but they instituted this new rule about it a little while ago...

Ray Lewis might wish the rules were teh same as when he came into the league in '97 or whatever. I wish that too sometimes, but all the players can do is play by the rules.

The thing is he grazed Brady. It was a ridiculous call.

yeah, that's the issue. Dungy said the same thing last night. Not quite sure how the rule was written, but if it's any hit at or below the knees, as is likely, then what do you expect?

The helmet slaps in yesterday's Pats/Ravens game, by both players, were pretty damn soft. Neither one was a wind up and knock 'em out type of head shot.

I execpt the refs to properly protect the QB, which they didn't do yesterday at all. It's still football. Brady gets paid a bunch...and it's hazard pay.
