He should have been thrown out of the game.  All the personal fouls the Cards had called on them and the Steelers get away with that one.  Ridiculous.

What personal foul? He was blocking

He had already blocked him.  There's a difference between blocking and being overly aggressive and using unnecessary violence.

You block til the whistle blows, if you notice he waits til the dude tries to get up then puts him back down, if you wanted him to be nice then go watch soccer

Isn't the controversy over the fact that he punches him while he has him down, before he gets back up?

He was in no way in a blocking position. He was also clipping while the dude was on the ground.

The only thing he did wrong was hold the guy on the ground for that short time but pushing him down there is fine and it was not a clip

Shoving someone getting up from the ground is not sportsmanlike conduct.

That's what I've seen. Rugby is a more athletic game, where each person needs to be faster and such, but there aren't the hard hits like in football. They'd both get knocked out.

Rugby players do a lot more of the running and jumping, but NFL guys hit hard. I don't know if you realize it, but two guys weighing 200+ pounds sprinting into each other is not a nice collision. Yes they do that in rugby, but each person slows down a little you can bet.

@proleg, we play rugby here. My schools rugby team went really far this year too.

A broken toe is less significant in hard skates than it is in cleats on turf. Running and skating are two very different things.

Hockey players are much tougher thatn football players, there is a whole market for equipment to hide injuries like boken hands/feet/ribs ect because not only will the hockey players still play with those injuries the other players will go after those injuries if they know they exist. SO yeah I think it takes a tough guy to gou out and play a vary physical game while they are hurt but I think it takes an even tougher guy to do that knowing that he is a target if the other team finds out he is hurt. Plus in football you get in trouble for pushing too hard in hockey you can punch a guy in the face and many times walk away with a warning

And how many people have died playing baseball? if we go by that then baseball is the most dangerous sport we have, but if you go by the violence allowed in the game then hockey is the most violent, in football if 2 guys talk trash to eachother they get penalized yet at a hockey game I have seen an all out brawl that took the refs 5 minutes to break up without a single penalty being called, and if you want to fight another player it is allowed as long as the other guy is willing and they let you fight until you hit the ground or it gets boring then you go sit down for 5 minutes and come back into the game. Hell most of the teams use fighting as a tactic to inspire the rest of their team

When was the last time a football player had his neck cut open by another player? And at least hockey allows people to celebrate after scoring.

They have to allow it... it happens so rarely.

I'm sure there are a bunch more time of hockey and football, and even one soccer player breaking their necks, but did you read the link of mine. It wasn't the neck breaking, it was the fact that the guy grabbed the other player, punched him, and proceeded to do so, while breaking his neck along the way.

Hockey players are much tougher thatn football players, there is a whole market for equipment to hide injuries like boken hands/feet/ribs ect because not only will the hockey players still play with those injuries the other players will go after those injuries if they know they exist. SO yeah I think it takes a tough guy to gou out and play a vary physical game while they are hurt but I think it takes an even tougher guy to do that knowing that he is a target if the other team finds out he is hurt. Plus in football you get in trouble for pushing too hard in hockey you can punch a guy in the face and many times walk away with a warning


Here's the bottom line...

How many people have died playing hockey?  Not counting the ones that broke through the ice on pick up games.
How many people have died playing American Football?

Look it up.  I think you'll find that football is five times as dangerous as hockey.
And how many people have died playing baseball? if we go by that then baseball is the most dangerous sport we have, but if you go by the violence allowed in the game then hockey is the most violent, in football if 2 guys talk trash to eachother they get penalized yet at a hockey game I have seen an all out brawl that took the refs 5 minutes to break up without a single penalty being called, and if you want to fight another player it is allowed as long as the other guy is willing and they let you fight until you hit the ground or it gets boring then you go sit down for 5 minutes and come back into the game. Hell most of the teams use fighting as a tactic to inspire the rest of their team

So everyone else missed the hockey rules change? They started enforcing penalties more heavily to discourage fights.

It's a penalty because they lose the man... since they play their first string people first, they're playing a second string vs the other team's first string.  That is a penalty.

Hockey is ten times the sport that "American Football" is.  Hockey players play with their jaws wired shut and broken hands, feet, all kinds of ailments.  "American Football" players sprain their toe and they are out for the weeks.
I hate "American Football", but you hardly understand if you think the extent of there injuries is so limited. Unless you are purposely exaggerating to make a point that Hockey is better, which would backfire by disproving you.

I'm on my way home now. 45 minutes out.

I have just never seen a hockey player leave the game for turf toe.
Yet i have seen football players play with broken hands, fingers and such. I have yet to see a hockey player effectively play with a broken hand. Your argument is WEAK! Also... you are not pretty.

Mike Modano the year they won the Stanley Cup played with a broken hand.
Modano is from Michigan. Of course HE is a real man.

Also, upon a bit of research... he had a plus minus of 0. That is awful. 81 points is decent... and in the playoffs, he was a non factor. Go Hull.

Except rugby requires the players to think on their feet for the entire game whereas in handegg they have those little breaks every 5 minutes so they can get others to think for them. So actually, I'd think it was the other way round.

Rugby is a game of individual tactics, and skill. Football is a game of group tactics and the ability to do your task. Think Roman army vs. Tribal warriors.

thats a good summary of it

Hell... i bet the Lions could smoke any rugby team in a street fight.
Dann,

In an actual street fight; most big guys are generally easier to take out, due to their over-reliance on being 'intimidating".

You'd be amazed at how high-piched the scream is when a well placed side-kick "backwards" the guys lead knee.

Oops, there goes that promising career.

FYI; I'm only 5' 3" and under 140 lbs and yes: I warned this fool that; I would be forced to defend myself if he insisted on attempted battery. 

Real-world violence is not pretty.

If size truthfully didn't matter, boxers wouldn't have weight classes, neither would wrestlers. Size is a pretty relevant factor in any fight, because it gives one guy a lot more strength.

In this context, Strength is a power to mass ratio modified by relative velocity, momentum and torque to which efficacy is mostly governed by application and accuracy of placement.

In context of a "street fight":
A single straight punch to the face may break your nose, while a rear spinning, ulnar-side, hammer blow to the body can put a floating rib into a lung or burst a kidney. 

In my posted example: he stepped foreward to swing at me with his fist whilest I merely leaned obliquely back and away, transferring momentum from torso to leg and delivered compund force via my foot directly to his already over-strssed knee.
His attempted blow missed me by at least a 2' margin and I was already completely out of the way as he came crashing down under his own weight and momentum. 

So; while very personal, this was not a "foul" and really had little to do with the NFL. ;)

Ain't practically applied physics grand?  8)

BTW: Should I be "officially" sanctioned for fighting above my weight-class? ;D

 
Title: Re: Worst personal foul of the NFL season?
Post by: Raist on February 08, 2009, 03:31:13 PM
Fighting above your weight class is allowed. And breaking someones knee who leads with a huge reach in punch is hardly a fair fight. He is way too dependent on his size.

You can't represent an entire division of people by the way people who don't know how to fight fight.

Have you seen the Ninjitsu fight science episode?  The guy's hammer blow applied more force than a major league baseball player's bat swing.  Fucking impressive.

Yeah. I was being snarky on that point.

You can't represent an entire division of people by the way people who don't know how to fight fight.

Good catch. I should have qualified with "In my experience, most big guys, etc", as I have seen some who are very savvy.

BTW: lest y'all think otherwise, I am generally a pacifist and will always seek an amenable solution to any tense situation, unless and until provoked beyond the bounds of diplomacy by the other party.

Also, I felt remorseful then and now. Both parties were drunk and I reacted on instinct way too fast to deliver a less nasty blow. For all I know, he may have been crippled for Life. :'(

On a positive note:That incident did help me swear off of tequila and being a Marine.

I agree on the taste factor, but, those bears may prefer moose or elk and will also likely cull many of the human hunters too and "voila": more venison for us again. I love the "balance" of nature.

In that case; form a neutral allienc with both sides to keep the Bambi steaks coming. I'm envious of your supply  either way as the only local game are bighorn and I think they are protected as a State critter.
