The most boneheaded SF play of the game

"I didn't hit him with my hand or my helmet," Brooks told reporters, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "I basically bear-hugged him. That's just how football is played. I think this s--- is bull----. Football, the way they call stuff these days, it's watered down. It ain't real no more."

Brees, on the other hand, believes the call was correct.

"All I remember is just getting clothes-lined in the chin, and as I'm on the ground I'm saying, 'That's got to be a flag,''' Brees said.

Brooks isn’t the only person who feels that way, but the rules governing hits on quarterbacks aren’t going to go anywhere.

My take - it was a clear clothesline swing and the moving gif's and other images do not do it justice until you see it in its entirety. Last I checked the clothesline move was illegal in the NFL. The call was correct.

Do I agree with him that the NFL is becoming a panzy league? YES
Was the right call made? YES - he did it.

It's up to coaches and Brooks to teach and learn the rules. End of story.
