Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
Despite admissions from at least two New York Giants players saying they targeted 49ers punt returner Kyle WIlliams for vicious hits because of his history of concussions, the NFL declared Tuesday that the team did nothing wrong. From NFL spokesman Greg Aiello:
"Players are held accountable for their actions on the field. There were no illegal hits to the head or neck area against Kyle Williams on Sunday,'' Aiello said. "There was no conduct by the Giants of any kind that would suggest an effort to injure Kyle Williams in any way.''
So Aiello says the Giants didn't try to hurt Williams, while the Giants boasted they did. Who to believe?

The game needs to be replayed with different officials
That is all there is too it. I hope and pray that the San Francisco 49ers sue the living daylights out of the NFL and get a date at Lambeau with the Packers.
I'm a proud fan of the Minnesota Twins and Dallas Cowboys!

based on what?
Legal hits? Who exactly is going to sue? What grounds would they have? What would beating the packers next year prove about this year?
