Fuck man.

That is just insane. Heartbreaking.

When is the last time a commission stepped in and changed anything? Where are they? Canada? Oh wait.

So that count for a TKO win for Cote on the pick ems?

Illegal Strikes to the Back of the Head-

The Committee has found a compromise between the Mohawk definition and the headphones definition. The Committee recommends a nape of the neck definition.

Basically, the group concluded that a strike that touches the ear is generally acceptable. Strikes are not permissible in the nape of the neck area up until the top of the ears. Above the ears, permissible strikes do not include the Mohawk area from the top of the ears up until the crown of the head. The crown of the head is found where the head begins to curve.

In other words, strikes behind the crown of the head and above the ears are not permissible within the Mohawk area. Strikes below the top of the ear are not permissible within the nape of the neck area.

Some of those punches did fall in the "illegal" area. Especially that last one. But Sak def rocked the shit out of Cote with those elbows before hand.

Just have a rematch.

GO RAVENS/GSP

Oh, I absolutely agree. I'm a Raiders fan, not a Steelers fan.

But I've followed Leftwich for alot of years now and much like Jeff George, am a fan of his for life. Dude has an ARM....but they're probably getting starched tomorrow night.

No wonder the refs never have a clue what's going on. 3 different rules for one illegal move.

When Garza scored that awesome flying triangle, it made me look for one the following Sunday afternoon in class.

Needless to say, I powerbombed myself onto the mat, amazing fail.

[Sakara=Excitement]

Absolutely heartbroken with that man...
