Before you accuse me of crying over losing w/the Saints....I hit a prop on Sproles so I think I lost $90 total...no big deal.
This defenseless stuff is completely fcn stupid and pointless if they allow defenders like Donte Whitner (vs Pierre Thomas) to lower their head and spear other players instead of doing it how they were taught. I played thru high school and every kid is taught to SEE WHAT YOU HIT AND DON'T DROP YOUR HEAD INTO YOUR OPPONENT BUT DRIVE THRU THEM WITH YOUR CHEST AND WRAP UP. This is for the hitters safety almost as much as the guy getting hit. What Whitner did wasn't as obvious as James Harrison but he still dropped his head and drove his helmut into Thomas's helmut. Its dangerous and it should be flagged. Instead they're more worried about 3 fingernails going across a QBs helmut after he's already thrown a ball.
