Re: The Brady Kick
Don't mean to pile on, but what the heck --
I understand that Brady and the Pats offense wanted to run a very hurried up offense, and I guess if you let the officials know beforehand that you want the ball spotted as quickly as possible that they should try and honor that request. And it looked like the officials DID do a good job of spotting the ball quickly for NE, to the point where I saw a couple of times where an official almost fell on his ass dashing to the LOS, putting the ball down and trying to fly out of the way to let NE do their thing.
Again, I have no problem with that, it's good tactics by NE IMHO.
BUT (Beau's big butt), why weren't the officials providing the same set-up/spot of the ball for the Ravens? I can recall several times where Rice, Pierce and a few other guys were standing near where they were tackled, wanted to get the ball to the official(s) to spot it, and they were looking...and loooking. and loooooking....and no official in sight! Seemed kinda weird, especially one time where Rice got up after one carry and started spinning around in search of anyone to spot the ball.

Re: The Brady Kick
How about Brady falling to the turf like a pussy when he brushed against that ref's elbow? That was almost as bad as Sanchez's "butt fumble"!

Re: The Brady Kick
And don't forget the magical time clock. You remember, right? It was 2:05, they ran a play that took more than 3 seconds, yet after the player went out of bounds, there were still 2 seconds left before the 2 minute warning. How is THAT possible? Coach Harbaugh sure wanted to know. What a truly magical place it is up there in razor stadium, Foxborough Mass.

Re: The Brady Kick
I was watching the game with two Patriots fans and another Ravens fan. One of the Patriots fans is a good friend and is a roommate (he actually stuck to his word and has already changed part of his name to "Joseph Flacco" on FB, per our bet.) But the other one I didn't know. I made his life HELL after Brady's kick. I wanted him to feel fucking BAD that he roots for a cheap-shotting punk bitch.
Go make some more Uggs commercials, cheater. Then help take down that embarrassing billboard your fans paid for in New England.My Ravens Blog: Brittany Rants About Football

Re: The Brady Kick
I think they should leave the billboard up, and reset the clock to 2/3/2013.

Re: The Brady Kick
I said in the game thread that this play was inexcusable. Ive.never seen such a blatant attempt to injury a player. Simms and nance should be ashamed for saying he was protecting himself. The slide is intended to be protection which is why reed was jumping OVER him. That was blatant intent to harm with spikes out and aiming for his knee. He should be fined and suspended if the NFL is seriously about play safety.

Re: The Brady Kick
Brady is undoubtedly one of the all time greats, but that slide tackle was borderline ejection worthy- there is a reason they call those challenges 'leg breakers' in soccer. If Reed has his leg planted at the point of impact, it's sayonara.
You almost have to wonder if Reed was being targeted- they certainly had no qualms about nailing him on the fair catch (the lack of flag thrown there is another issue for another day...).
