I was watching Monday night football and had a flashback to last year against Cincy. Leon Washington of the Jets blew up Channing Crowder of Miami  on the EXACT SAME type of block that Hines had on Rivers. Blind side,peelback,shoulder to head area, decleater.

  Instead of a flag and the announcers talking about a "dirty" hit, they were praising it and talking about how much the two players hated each other because one went to Florida and one went to Florida St. Then watching all the sports shows Tue. morning not ONE had a problem with the block and most were praising it.

 So i guess its ok to make that kind of block if a) the LB you hit doesn't have a glass jaw b) you are sworn enemies with the guy you block  or c) your name isn't Hines Ward.

Keep playing the game the way you do 86 just pick on guys who can take the hit and declare all opposing LBs your sworn enemies.

    The following is just a taste of the BS Rob Dibble and his partner were spewing for all to see. Notice how their mood changes as we start pounding them into the ground.
