It was just late, started to pull up but still hit him. Not a penalty from a roughness standpoint, but an easy call in today’s NFL

That’s what I remember from this supposedly forgotten game.

He was a member of my church when I pastored in OP

Not obscure, but Mark Kelso is my real life friend

In the CFL, he was was twice traded/let go as the reigning MVP ... why would a team let the league MVP go? Probably because he wasn’t worth dealing with at times.

Francis Scott “Off” Key

I was there too ... in the parking lot because Dad wanted to leave ... only hear the cheers and “Here's the replay on the scoreboard” and we watched it from the north lot on that amber lit beauty!

Just wondering if that's been done ... and if not, they should make it happen! not a sombrero, but just styled the way his was

Neon would definitely know what to look for regarding players being afraid to hit ...

The charges have been increased to a class 1 misdemeanor ... each count is a max of 1 year in jail now.

Deflate gate was dumb, but I said at that time that the deflating of balls was probably more likely to be the distraction than the real infraction.

Calling for a fair catch and then blocking is, by definition, a penalty. It doesn’t matter if it is a rough hit or not. It is an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty, not unnecessary roughness.

Should have used him when we play the Browns so he can muff the punt inside the 5 again ...

It reminded of my throwing motion when I tore my rotator cuff ...

Talib and Peters look like they want no part in tackling ANYONE!

Said the same thing ... I hope I’m wrong

Once the QB leaves the pocket ... you can mug receivers downfield.

LAMP warning ... my friend was a nurse on duty and was part of the team that took Theismann's xrays ... and her future husband played with Jim Kelly at East Brady HS.

https://www.sbnation.com/2018/9/6/17773282/nfl-helmet-rule-explained-rulebook-penalty-replay Quote from article "Patriots coach Bill Belichick said the team has never coached players to tackle with the crown of their helmet because it’s ineffective, and that the rule change won’t affect the way the New England coaching staff handles its business." Right ... but this wasn't tackling, this was part of the intimidation process https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/09/06/new-nfl-helmet-lowering-rule-changes-explained Quote from article "Plays subject to ejection include when a player has an "unobstructed path" to his opponent or "contact was clearly avoidable," but the player chose to lower his head and use his helmet." Blocking a player after a fair catch, immediately being "Unsportsmanlike Conduct" (not unnecessary roughness as PatsFanNH likes to keep saying incorrectly) would seem to be the perfect example of the wording of the rule from the SI article ... unobstructed path & contact was clearly unavoidable. Yes, PatsFanNH, he was called for one penalty. He should have been called for both (to include unnecessary roughness) and immediately ejected because of the obvious way in which his actions followed precisely how the rule was written.

Inside our own five ... I was sitting in the tunnel end zone when he did that in front of me. The only consolation for seeing that game was going to be the bonus football of OT. Parrish stole our last bit of joy that day when he muffed that punt that he should have never touched.

On the other hand (and other rule), there were several non-calls on "lowering the helmet" that could/should have been called last night (mainly on the Steelers). If there was a place to eject someone ... LB Bostic could/should have been for his helmet hit on Fitz when Fitz slid early on. He was flagged for a late hit, but IIRC there was no mention of lowering the helmet. Late hit + helmet targetting head should equal ejection. Pittsburgh doesn't win last night without the plays that Bostic made later on. NFL can't figure out a lot of its new rules.

I'd root for a meteor to level the stadium, but I live about five miles north of it in Hollywood, FL ... A meteor might take me out too

A little Air Jordan-esque

I don’t think that sincerely means what you think it means ...

I agree that he was very good, but definitely not under-rated as the OP asked.
