Last week I swear the ref had the flag out and was in the act of throwing it before any contact was even made. I applaud the aggressive play and hope those hankies don't put a stop to it.

Agreed 100%. Last week, or the week before, I remember a ref grabbing his flag before the QB hit the ground and threw it as fast and hard as he could.

I think it was the 2-handed push on Will Smith.

Goddell has to do something. I know the players demanded a safer NFL but I think the pedulum has swung way too far in the other direction.

College football is a more manly game than the NFL. I never thought I'd see that day.
