Yeah, there's always a few choir-boys that ruin it for the rest of 'em,  .
Football, to me, is by nature a nasty game and I question if the NFL can really regulate it this way. Regardless of how careful you play, questionable contact is gonna' happen. You don't play a contact sport at half-speed thinking about 'not hurting' your opponent ... that's how you get hurt yourself.
Honestly, I think they're gonna' have to come up with some kind of database in order to keep track of an individual/all player's infractions and establish a more consistent way of handing out fines/suspensions then they've demonstrated thus far.
It is a slippery slope the NFL has embarked on, my friends ... but I do totally disagree with the blatant/intentional/targeted stuff when it happens.
