Injury report per John Clayton

[Preacher]

Never wish injury on a player. Never set out to injure a player. But you can be dang sure if a player is a weak point, no matter for what reason, you go out and put the smack down on him. IF you have a LB with a very sore shoulder, you tee-off on that LB, send the runs his way with the FB seeking him out for a hard clean shot. Call runs that are specifically designated for Ward to crack back on Rolle and Suggs.

It is much harder to play when you are afraid to get hit. That isn't dirty, it is just part of the game. But no. You NEVER set out to actually INJURE the player.

I don't want anyone to get injured, however, I'm not complaining if they are. That's part of the game and why the NFL is great. Good teams persevere.

I could care less if it was a legal hit or not, and that's not the point. The Rat turd thugs specifically targetted Ward and Mendenhall, they were vocal about it, which IS AGAINST NFL RULES, and then they went out and purposefully tried to injure botyh players, fufilling half their mission.

If it was a clean classy team and there was no "bounty", I'd have no problem with it, but it's the Rat Thugs, they called their shot, and they delivered.

What is even more egregious is that the players in question are Suggs and Lewis. Enough has been said about the coward and killer Ray Lewis, but on that particular play, he gloated, then boasted later that Mendy was "done". Zero class. Suggs is a real piece of work, too. Here's a pic of this upstanding citizen (He's the fine young man on the left)...



The hilarity ensues when the Rats fans come to their players defense. It's like the Germans supporting Hitler...

oh how i would love to see Hines nail Suggs on his girly shoulder.

GO STEELERS!

Ya I never wish injury upon anyone *cough* tom brady * cough. Haha , no but serious I never condone dirty play. But if the play is clean and the person gets hurt there really is no fault. It is more of an accident. And if the person is injured before he gets in the game the probability of a more serious injury will rise.

I am not saying steelers players have not played dirty. Any one remember Porter taking Heap out of the game a few years ago on a kneel down or a spiked play. Heap was trying to get off the feild , they had to run one more dead play, porter noticed he was injured and knocked him on his ass. So dont act like we are all goody goody too.

This is football . Deal with it !
