football question...

when I watched the 49ers qb run to the sideline and lose his helmet it was almost like the defenders let up on him so they didnt blast him in the skull, is there an unwritten (or written) rule that says to keep it 'gentle' when a player loses their helmet so noone gets overly injured? Common sense says yes but its still a tough man's sport //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

i was a loser in high school and never played any sports because i decided my grades didnt matter, so when it comes to the insider part of the game i am out of the loop //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

my wife hates my obsession with sports though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

when Haynesworth stepped on that dudes head with no helmet I guess that was a good sign that you keep your hands (and feet?) off the dude who has no head protection... he got alot of flack and i bet he had a bounty on his fat head lol

well, if you can't stop it they shouldn't throw a flag. but if you can let up and dont thats unsportsmanlike

It's for saftey of the players & especially QB. The NFL is VERY protective of their QB's! The defender didn't want to hurt Hill, and he clearly didn't want one of those over-inflated fines the NFL likes to hand out.

yeah i figured some common sense would come in to play.
