Mark Barron wins x amount of dollars from Greg Williams

Now I'm not saying there is fire but there is smoke(hand clapping) so I just have to ask the question is there a bounty to be paid?


In an attempt to make sure everyone gets it

This is a Joke!!!!!!!!! (Giant Smiley Emoticon)

 

The clapping was for the sack, not an injury. Players don't applaud injuries. I doubt they realized right away that he was injured. Injuries happen. Baron isn't a dirty player. Remember, we caused the same injury to Palmer. **** happens sometimes, it was nothing more than an accident

 

Did it ever cross your mind that maybe he was clapping because he just sacked the qb?

 

It reminded me of the Kimo tackle somewhat. But I haven't re-watched it or anything. I didn't like how the Rams players were claiming it was a turnover repeatedly to the refs, while Ben was very clearly lying on the floor in agony. But maybe they weren't looking.

 

I kid Shaner but the dirty player stuff doesn't mean squat. A lot of the guys in NO were stand up guys not looking to hurt anyone but did get caught up in the seemingly fun game with in the game. Get a big hit get some pocket change. I don't think Barron was looking to hurt Ben either but it is a way to laugh about something horrible.

 

Yes strummed it did, lighten up a bit folks it is humor .

 

I agree totally. I don't think it was malicious at all.

 

Maybe you should think about using a smiley the next time you attempt to make a really dumb joke

 

I'm gonna have to watch it again. It looked to me like he tripped and slid in to his knee with this shoulder and wrapped him up. I then just saw Ben laying on the ground holding his leg and didn't see all the ra ra stuff after the play.

 

Suspensions aren't handed out for isolated plays such as this one. If they were, Harrison would have been suspended numerous times for hitting guys to the head and causing injuries (two Browns players come to mind). What happened today was just a freak play. Hopefully Ben will miss a few weeks and be back to 100%, but there will be no suspension for this play and we both know that

 

I thought the hit looked like the one KVO put on Palmer too. I'll
betcha no one on the MB thought that was intentional and it wasn't. I think that was before it was a penalty and I agree that a penalty should have been called on the hit today, even if it wasn't intentional.

 

I'll take it under advisement

 

The hit was a foul but didn't seem malicious. Ben has always been kind of a matador hanging in the pocket the way he does. Very successful but risky.

 

BS

looked like he crawled across a desert to get to the legs

illegal BS if I ever

 

Barron gets nothing, because they still lost the game.

 

Baron didn't fall into Ben nor was he pushed - he was on the ground and crawled forward a few hand steps and either grabbed BB's knee or BB ran into him - wasn't clear at that point - but the Kimo rule doesn't have to have intent does it? Only contact with a QB below or at the knee.

 

I heard them trying to explain the rule on this and it sounded like it was written by some backroom, ambulance chasing, lawyer. It has something to do with the "passing posture" for them to call it. It's ridiculous.

 

I was passing some pasture....errr....posture.... a bit earlier. I think my word aligns better with the rule book on this matter though.

 

It just seems like they leave enough wiggle room for the refs to have "discretion" and all that. Someone should go and see if they always make sure Brady and Manning are in "passing posture" every time they get hit low.

 

I have never heard of a guy purposely planning it all out that he was going to fall to his knees 20 feet from the QB and then proceed to bear crawl the rest of the way there in order to take out a guy's leg. Your percentage of success would not be too high in most circumstances.

 

....but I'm telling you sheriff, that's exactly the way it happened!
