"Why in the Green Bay/Minnesota game Sunday night when Clay Matthews was rushing he was blocked by two people as he was rushing Brett Favre and he took off his helmet. Why wasn't this an unsportsmanlike penalty? Please answer this question."


Tool: Interesting play Roger. The helmet started coming off as he was being blocked. He then pushed it the rest of the way off because it appeared to block his vision. The interesting part is that it is not a foul. The rule book is specific when it states, it is sportsmanlike conduct for "removal of his helmet by a player during a celebration or during a confrontation with a game official or another player." What happened in the Green Bay game was not unsportsmanlike conduct but it was stupid in my opinion. Maybe this is Matthews' solution for not getting called for a helmet-to-helmet hit on a defenseless player.

They are still complaining here in MN about this play that Matthews should have received a flag. When given this proof, they still say he should have received a flag. It's like the Monty Python skit where they want to burn the witch.

I see the tool reference for Mike Pereira has re-emerged. He is still a tool, albeit a more effective tool. If the NFL is going to dramatically change rules to protect players. it's good to have a tool to explain them to us. So long as he's correct, which is more frequently of late, as far as I can tell. At the start, he was like Ed Hoculi without the guns, but he's gotten better.


And yes, Gruden should be muzzled. he is too often awful in his speaking style, surprisingly ignorant, and his voice grates.

Drives me nuts. I can't listen.

A tool yes, but I think his poor performance is mainly tied to the completely incomprehensible catch rules that even this year are still being re-interpreted. I think the craftsman is to blame for this tool's poor performance and if I find out Gruden (or his GMs) were on the competition committee, then we'll have another, meaner, anti-Gruden thread.

The rules seem to have gotten more vague as the game has gone on. In the typical human way - the more descriptive and detailed you try to be about rules, the more perambulation is possible.
