excuse me Jim Quirk Can tackle Nick Barnettby the neck at that i really don't care if he was trying to break up a fight and the Commissioner fines him for eight grand but if the player uses a foul language against the official it's 75,000 grand what's wrong with this picture c'mon the problem we have here is that the league is giving te officials too much leeway here is another problem the player get too much scrutny towards the officals but the officals don't get much scrutny against the playerin aother words no matter what the player says NFL offices are not going to back him up it's that simple.
