I guess we just have different definitions of "dirty" play.

I remember Madden talking about a similar hit. He said it's a legal hit, he just doesn't understand why. If you love football, it seems like you'd want to protect the players as well as possible so the level of competition is at it's best. Knees just aren't meant to be hit like that, and it sucks to have to lose great players for silly reasons like that.
If I was a player, I'd rather try to beat the Pats WITH Brady than to have people say "well, if Tom was healthy they wouldn't have won!"

It's like winning a golf tournament right now. Yes it's nice, but with no Tiger, it seems like a little less of an achievement.

Injuries are part of the game, but it would be nice to reduce them, too.

Accidents happen. Carson's may have been an accident but that hit yesterday was on purpose.

And with THAT pass and completion, I wanna be the FIRST to say. FUCK Favre.

BTW, I don't think the hit was dirty at all. It reminded me a lot of the play that took out Carson Palmer in the playoffs against Pittsburgh a couple of years ago. You're on your knees, but still trying to get to the QB any way you can.

I guess so. U don't accidentally hit a player in the knee or the head.

First of all you talking like a true Brady homer. Yes he is a great qb but he is a spoiled brat. Look at the games last year when calls went against his offense he could be seen yelling at the refs like he owns the damn football field. Remember after spygate came out, the coach and the players which includes brady made it a point to show everybody in the league up by running up the score on teams and talking trash about it. Then he had nothing to say when the giants handed him his ass in the super bowl. And he laughed when plaxico burress said they would win the game 21-17 and he felt he disrespected the mighty patriots by saying he predicted we would only score 17. Well he was half right because the patsies only got 14. Hell i'm not jealous of brady, i got big ben as my qb and he has a super bowl ring and he is sure to win another before it's all said and done. Oh and yes the league will go on this season without brady and it would have also if favre chose to stay retired.

Can't stand Farve.....never good.

I don't see the big deal with any team running up the score. What are you suppose to do, just sit back and not make plays? Whatever! Sorry if the other team sucks, not our fault!

It took they asses long enough to score but he threaded the needle on that TD pass.

Ahh it's too bad they couldn't run up the score in the super bowl. I guessed the patsies sucked in that game. Well i'm cured. They won't be running up the score this season and i can't wait until pittsburgh punches them in the mouth later on this season in foxboro.

Y'all are being a little harsh on Brett.Yeah, he handled this whole situation like a spoiled b!tch. Is he on the level of Montana, Marino or Elway? No, but he was a great player and future HOFamer.
