Yeah, against the Bills. Big fuggin deal. He should have gotten a more severe suspension. And I didn't see a fine attached, or will that be announced later?

The Bills just beat the leaders of the AFC East

They should suspend Clifton Smith for being a dumb-ass as well

Flagg
Yes, it was Chad Clifton and that spawned a MEGA THREAD on MaddenMania (before my banning) that started like this

Then it started getting creative
 
Here's some details of the league's response.

League suspends Dante Wesley for one game

Posted by Mike Florio on October 19, 2009 5:50 PM ET
Eschewing the system of progressive discipline that typically applies to players who violate in-game safety rules, the NFL has suspended Panthers safety Dante Wesley for one game, without pay, based on his blow to the head and neck of Tampa Bay punt returner Clifton Smith during Sunday's game between the two teams.

Wesley left his feet and launched himself at Smith while Smith was waiting to catch a punt.

Wesley was penalized and ejected from the game.

Wrote NFL V.P. of football operations Ray Anderson in a letter to Wesley: "The playing rules (Rule 10, Section 1, Article 1) specifically provide that a member of the kicking team is prohibited from interfering with a receiver attempting to catch an airborne kick. The prohibited contact in this case went well beyond simply interfering with the receiver. Instead, by striking your defenseless opponent in the head and neck area, you committed an unnecessary and unnecessarily dangerous act that is specifically prohibited by the rules. . . .

"Your actions are of particular concern in light of the emphasis that our office has placed on developing and enforcing rules designed to protect players from injury, including head and neck injuries. The safety of our players is paramount to all of us in the NFL."

Wesley will miss Sunday's game against the Bills due to what the league has termed a "flagrant violation" of player safety rules.

He lead with his shoulder on a hit in the Smith's chest...other than being early and launching...I don't see why this is so controversial.

Pats-blue: Miss Cat, as a member of the World Zionist Illuminati Banking and Brain Melding Conspiracy (she is 9/16ths Jewish), will see you at the next meeting. :coffee:

BTW, re Ras's OP, it was an incredibly cheap shot. I hope he gets a long ban.
 
Did I hear correctly, that all he got was a one-game suspension? WTF?

I swear that's what I heard on ESPN this morning, but it was before coffee, so...
