it's time to make the NFL two-hand touch. no, wait, that might be too violent. let's just go for flag football. that hit on boldin, while very violent, was also very legal. naturally, when two bodies collide at that speed, their heads are going to snap forward, causing helmet-to-helmet contact. smith did not lead with his helmet. the officials on the field, watching it at full speed, made the correct (no) call. i can only assume that roger goodell never set foot on a football field, other than for a coin toss. it's a violent game played by violent men. that's what makes it so exciting. you start fining guys for hits like that... you may as well shut down the league.
ok, i'm off my soapbox. i was just absolutely disgusted when i read that he was fined and suspended. that is so gutless.
