Alright everybody. It's time to stop. You can lead a horse to water, etc, etc. The one thing on display here is video evidence - clear as a bell video evidence - and this guy says it never happened.

LOL

This dude either doesn't get it or can't. Either way it's a waste of time.

Even Chris Collinsworth said in the video that he wasn't launching. Launching is when a player leaves both of his feet, and Dunta never did that. I suggest reading up on the rules before you spout off and make yourself look ignorant.

It's funny, you're arguing something that the NFL deemed illegal and Dunta was and has been fined numerous times for... But keep quoting Chris Collinsworth and calling others ignorant

Show me Dunta launching, or the NFL saying that he launched. I'll wait.

Did you not watch the video or read the article? You're more ignorant than I first thought!

Not once did Dunta leave both his feet while making either tackle. Do you want me to draw you a picture?

NFL deemed the hits Dunta was fined for "illegal" Who cares if they were "launching"...

And 2 players were knocked out of the game against the Saints; Favre who already had a hurt ankle prior to the game and came back a series later...

And Kurt Warner, who tried to tackle a defender who intercepted the ball and McCray blocked him...

That's the only 2 from the playoffs in '09 to this year, what's your point?

Well, we've already shown you the video.

Here are articles from CBS Sports and ESPN referencing launching

NFL fines Dunta Robinson $40K for Maclin hit - CBSSports.com
NFL fines Dunta Robinson of Atlanta Falcons $40K for hit on Jeremy Maclin - ESPN

Here's an article from the LA times in which Hall of Fame Safety Ronny Lott said he was bothered by the way Robinson used the top of his helmet.

Sam Farmer on the NFL: Atlanta's Dunta Robinson takes a hit to the wallet - Los Angeles Times

In this article D. Orlando Ledbetter, long time Falcons beat writer, described the hit this way.

"With 6:12 left in the third quarter of Sunday night's game, Robinson leveled Maclin by lowering his head and leading with his helmet. Robinson also launched with both feet when leaving the ground."

Atlanta Falcons team report: Dunta Robinson fined $40K - NFL - Sporting News

Not only did he say "launched" he specifically said "with both feet when leaving the ground"

Here's a USA Today poll that shows 59% of respondents thought the $40k fine was not enough and that Robinson should have been suspended as well.

Vote: After seeking 'kill shot' was fine to Falcons' Robinson warranted?

That's just the mainstream press. Many of the bloggers were much harsher.

Hope that helps.

You're saying those hits were legal and you think HE looks ignorant?

That's funny.

That's funny.
