NGT: Damontae Kazee hit on Newton

cant stand Newton but no one deserves that.

I thought I’d read about an openly gay player in the NFL.

I think he should get a fine, but no suspension at this point.

Dumb ass.

Deserves a suspension IMO.

One game, unpaid.

I wouldn’t have a problem with two games, unpaid.

but this was a no-brainer. There is no defending that. Bullshit.

didn’t even buy Cam dinner first.

sliding. I'd go with a fine and a 4 game suspension. That is bullshit. Imagine if it happened to Eli.

come from an old-school, hard ass coach in Rocky Long from San Diego State. They aren't afraid of contact, that's for sure.

More like Demented Kamikazee!

and he should have gotten discipline for that one.

The "leading with helmet" penalty appears to have had a very short life. There was only one called league-wide in Week 1.

In its usual half-assed way, the NFL only conceived of the "leading with helmet" rule as protecting tacklers from themselves: a reflex reaction to the Ryan Shazier paralysis.

Just as much of the rationale should have been to prevent those on the receiving end of a helmet being used as a weapon.

If Kazee had been fined/disciplined for the preseason hit on Lee, today's play probably doesn't happen.

he then lowered his head more before contact. I know game speed makes it hard to react/change your momentum. But this almost looked intentional.

At the very least, he made no effort to avoid head-to-head contact. He didn't have much time to react, but it looked like he basically just didn't.

that’s the first time it’s looked like Bettcher dialed up a call that worked like a charm
