Fined only 30K for this, while he ended the dude's season? That should have drawn a suspension to say the least.

Jared Allen's hit ends Lance Louis' season - NFC North Blog - ESPN

Ross Tucker was talking about this hit this morning on Sirius and made, what I thought, were two good points:

1) suspension/fines have to be based on intent/action, not on what the opponent's condition is, because a legal hit can often have be just as damaging- he expressed it more clearly

2) Jared Allen may not really have ever had the new rules clearly explained - certainly they wouldn't have drilled the new rules in, simply because his position group rarely deals with that specific style occurrence. How many times do defensive lines practice INT return drills?

The intent here is to hurt. The launching of his body at the opponent's head. The forearm and extension upon impact. Not knowing or understanding the rules is no excuse at all. He hits people all the time. Had he done that to a QB, he knows he would have gotten at suspension for it.

'Honey Badger' Tyrann Mathieu to enter NFL draft - ESPN

Hey, look here. Another future idiot trying to get into the NFL. I'll be surprised if he gets drafted at all.

I won't. He's a great player, just made a mistake. Let's not act like he is Pac-Man. Before his suspension he was a legit late 1st early 2nd round pick. If he is there in round 3 or 4 which I believe he will be I pull that trigger.

1) ok ,I'll by into that.

2) BS,every practice there is an interdeption he should be doing it.The intent was to cause injury,there was no need to" Launch"into the man.
