It's now or never for Goodell ...

Or Mike Wallace doing something stupid should result in a penalty or getting cut. You just can't win in the long run without some sort of discipline of execution.

Champions are champions not because they do anything extraordinary but because they do the ordinary things better than anyone else.

There isn't a penalty for a helmet to helmet hit on a runner, which he clearly was.

Right, but, there is a penalty for leading with your head... which he did.

We've already been through that with Harrison, unfortunately.

The difference is that Harrison learned and is controlled now. Burfict is not reigned in by Lewis. Even their own players have said this.

Anyone thinking the hit on Ben was clean, look at this:

There was a Tweet floating around this morning, can't readily find it now unfortunately. Basically unnamed Bengals players are saying to reporters that Burfict and Jones have been out of control all season. Nothing was done to corral their actions by the coaching staff. Player indicated that many in the locker room were predicting that either or both of the pair would cost the team a game at some point with their undisciplined behavior.

If Deebo hit Green like Brown just got hit, I would be pissed. It was a dirty play. Bottom line. The consequences of that type of hit are too extreme to be ignored. Shazier's hit, while a bit borderline because NO ONE understands the rules anymore, was legal - Bernard had returned to being a runner, so no helmet to helmet penalties.

Bottom line, I thought this happened to AB - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nPlN...c#action=share

NOTE - I realize that Tatum was not a dirty player like Burfict.

The only rule that comes close to what you're talking about is the "crown of the helmet" rule put in place a few years ago and IMO that didn't apply here.

In hindsight, I think we got away with one there. But it says something about the confusing NFL rules on runners and receivers when the broadcast's guest referee failed to point it out.
