It takes a certain kind of jerk wad to do that sweep the leg business.
Big SCREW YOU TO DIRTY JULIUS THOMAS!!!

I seriously can't get over this and how bad it really was. Very upsetting if there is no suspension and a huge fine. Let's what Goddell and the NFL do on this if they are rally trying to "protect the players"!
That was the chump girly ice skater whacking someone else's knee, ESPN probably won't do a story on it though.
ESPN just showed it again on their halftime show. I think they've given it a decent amount of coverage. They don't seem to be soft pedaling it either.

Good. It needs to be addressed and noted that NFL will not tolerate it for player safety
Yep I agree with you 100% I saw a lot of Donkey fans last night saying "that's football"
I disagree, that is NOT football, there is no place in any sport where you get to intentionally INJURE someone. The guy dove at his knee, he was trying to injure him. Even in MMA guys have that code, "I want to hurt my opponent NOT injure him."
I despise dirty players, if one of our players did this I would have the exact same reaction, that is why I have no respect for the Bronco fans who are defending this punk.
Agree. Was also just reading the fine for a chop block is the same as you get for taunting. Ridiculous.
I know it's football but I feel bad for CC. Disrespected every year, no pro bowls, doesn't truck Manning and instead plays nice, then gets taken out by a dirty play.

Both Golic and Cris Carter this morning said it was NOT a dirty play and not premeditated. It was a penalty they both agreed, they said Clady screwed it up he was supposed to "fade" and instead tried to engage. They both said Thomas was merely chipping, as proof after he got up off his cowardly butt he went out in the pattern, proving he was chipping not trying to injure CC.
I don't think he tried to injure the knee, I do think it's not a coincidence that the 3rd play from scrimmage after halftime was a play where they cut CC who'd been so terrific in the first half. I think they decided to try another approach to slow him down and in the process, injured him.

Maybe, maybe not--but it sure looked like he dove for the knee. My anger may be exacerbated by the Fox interview where he said it was simply a mis-communication. He seemed trite and condescending and that just further pi$$es me off.

Too much good stuff
Not a good idea at all, too much potential for funny business. Hypothetically, let's say Veldheer injures a 3rd string guy on the 49ers with a questionable block. Harbaugh could easily end Veldheer's season and improve his team's chances within the division just by continually putting that 3rd stringer on the injury report even if he's healthy enough to play.
I think an offending player should be ejected from the game and potentialy suspended by the league for a set amount of games.

I do think there needs to be an element that says if you injure a player doing something against the rules, there's a bigger impact. Fine and suspension instead of just fine. Even if it's just one game, that's incentive for teams to tell their guys to be careful.
I mean I don't care if Clady was supposed to back off or not, Thomas dove right at his knee, from the side, he knew damn well there was a risk he might injure CC.
