What to watch for while reviewing:
First thing Matt Ryan does after the hit is he put both of his hands up asking for a flag.
Drew Brees laid on the ground with 2 saints on top of him after the Brooks hit. Which was obviously much more intense and physical than Hicks' hit on Matt Ryan.

Perhaps if Matt Ryan were more tough, and hadnt inquired for a flag before even standing up, he would have gotten the flag he deserved? Drew was told to "get tough" because a flag was thrown on his hit. Completely unjustified.

I fully expect Bruschi to run his mouth about Ryan's lack of toughness for LITERALLY asking for the flag, where drew brees did no such thing. Drew went out of his way to say that he felt it was not a malicious hit but expected a penalty. Just like Matt Ryan, no? Where you at Tedi? Misplaced hate to the max.

And I also fully expect Ray Lewis to gripe about this passionately just as he did for Brooks. and offer to pay half of Hicks' fine since he is also a defensive player doing everything he can to do his job the right way.

The hits were not the same, brooks clothes lined Brees and hicks did more of a facemask grab then transitioned to pulling him down by his shoulders, it wassnt a intense hit but i do agree he should of been flaged for facemask

Speaking of Brooks hit, where is the Bounty investigation? Ray Lewis says he'll pay Brooks fine? If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck...........

BTW can a player get fined if a flag was not thrown?
