Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 4543329, member: 668"] No doubt, as many things in life, where there is any wiggle room for interpretation, one with interpret something as they see fit. In regards to the former and as "Consig" noted, it's 100% irrelevant in this instance, this was far from your garden variety type charge being argued. Rules change, moreover, the general climate in today's game, especially in relation to blows to the face that can lead to serious injury, etc. Incidental/inadvertent contact or not (it's hard to argue that Mintz didn't have to lead with the high elbow in the manner in which he chose to do so) they/refs far more times than not, will rule in favor of the one who took the unnecessary/unwarranted blow to the face. They want things of this nature out of today's game. No different that the way in which the NFL (even college) has gone full tilt to protect the QB's. [/QUOTE]
