While Sapp's hit on Clifton wasn't nice, it was within the context of the game. However, where does this stop? I've seen "unsuspecting" players around the ball get absolutely ROCKED before. Should this be taken out? Had they not been hit, though be it from a broad side, they would have most likely made a tackle or at least changed the course of the play.

I don't know if I agree with it, though it's intentions are well. Rarely is anyone seriously injured from these hits, and if you make players afraid to hit someone I think it can do nothing but make the game deteriorate.
