    How that man became a billionaire is beyond me. Everything else he touches turns to utter shit.

    Plus he wasn't that bad at the family business either.

    Vols suck, Phins suck, so good news, I don't need to follow football that much. So now the fantasy league I'm in, that I let autopick because I was getting the house ready for Dorrian, is killing everyone. Back to keeping track of this shit again.

    I knew the first three games defense for the Packers was a mirage.

    That wasn’t pass interference?

    Defense for the Packers still a joke.

    That was some cheap shit from Barnett

    So the guy can just go through the WR to make a play? Ok.

    The whistle didn't blow, he's playing to the whistle. It's what they are taught to do.

    Get pissed that they don't kill the play quick enough.

    No, I like Derek, but that was cheap as hell. He sprinted to drill a player already held by two guys, launched himself and lowered his head to give a helmet to helmet shot. That was pretty weak.

    Yep, and that was vintage Barnett. Has been playing that way since high school. No mercy, no quit until the whistle blows.

    It was absolutely unnecessary.

    The game of football is unnecessary. It was spur of the moment for a guy who’s always played that way.

    I suppose he could have paused and worked with ball carrier to negotiate his taking a knee without violence, but probably just didn’t occur to him in that split second.

    The game of football may be unnecessary. And within that unnecessary game, there may be unnecessary hits.

    Like last night.

    Ive talked to a couple former pros about stuff like that and in summary, we have no idea of the size, speed, energy and mindset it takes to play at that level and speed with so many big athletes around. Hut is the start and the whistle is the end. Sometimes in between gets nasty and bleeds over. Slow down one time before the whistle and find yourself benched.
    Refs need to blow more plays dead, faster and clean up the late hits on stagnant ballcatriers and piles.

    Not dirty. Unfortunate he got hurt, but he's fighting for yards and whistle wasn't blown. This stuff happens in a collision game.

    I’ll add that I don’t think the play is any kind of referendum on the player he is, the person he is, or the work he’s put in to get where he is. I certainly don’t think he intended for his opponent to be stretchered off the field either. It was pretty clear he was upset about it too.

    But still, despite all that, it was unnecessary.
