I present to you the results of a play from tonight's Thursday night contest between Indianapolis and Tennessee...
So this apparently is the THIRD CONSECUTIVE PLAY the Colts have been at it with the Titans per a personal foul.
5:32 left in the second quarter, 14-3 Tennessee. 3rd and 2 for Tennessee on their 41.
Indy commits two penalties on the play. Not only do they commit defensive pass interference on an incomplete short pass, but also Roughing the Passer on Robert Mathis.
Next play. 1st and 10, Indy 44, Cassius Vaughn gets Unnecessary Roughness. That's another 15.
The play above is play 3. 1st and 10, Indy 29, and Erik Walden of the Colts gets ANOTHER 15 for ripping off the helmet of Delanie Walker and then headbutting him.
Walden IS NOT TOSSED -- again, even though this is the THIRD CONSECUTIVE PLAY that the Colts have been flagged for at least one major foul.
Walker punches Walden, in front of the officials. HE'S NOT TOSSED EITHER.
And will someone please explain to me why the officials do not have the ability to award points for Persistent Infringement of this nature. Again, THREE CONSECUTIVE ROUGHNESS FOULS. To me, that's automatic six points to the other team. Penalty Touchdown.
If you aren't willing to fine these criminal motherfuckers enough or suspend them to get the point across, YOU WILL HAVE INCIDENTS LIKE THIS, Mr. Goodell.
So, let's see:
$15,750 for Roughing the Passer on Mathis.
$7,875 (or more) for Vaughn
And then for Walden...
Walden damned well should be suspended for the headbutt. Jon Bostic got $21,000 for a headbutt in the preseason. Tack on the likes of $7,875 for ripping another player's helmet off (Paul Kruger, Week 2)...
I could easily see an aggravator making that about $50,000 or so.
And then $15K for the retaliation punch.
Yeah, Mr. Goodell. Player Safety... Riiiiiiiiiiiiight...
