Anyone who thinks otherwise is just an antagonist looking to get a rise.

Woodson hit Brady clean, ball came out, Raiders recovered.

Phone call was made, Kraft started writing a check and the commish signed off on it.

The NFL hated Al Davis and they still try to kick him even when he’s gone.

RIP Mr. Davis, you were one of the greats.

During that play, Tom Brady was on the sideline already off the field, resolved to the fact that the tuck rule game was over and they were not advancing.

Fast forward to 10 years later and all the rules that have been created to have the refs insert themselves into the game…And what has happened?

Take that same play and Cindy Brady fumbles…Now…Cindy Brady throws all kind of tantrums on the field, yelling about tuck rule, demanding his way….and then the Refs giving it to him and CBX defends the undefensible.

Thank you Tom Brady, thank you Walt Coleman, and thank you whoever paid for that.

Oh and it’s funny how Ravens fans will try so hard to dis Brady but defend a scumbag like Suggs. You know the guy the beat his soon to be wife and threatened to pour bleach on her and there child.

Oh please..

I am not defending Suggs off the field any more than I would defend Cindy Brady. Lets not diffuse the issue to something you think you can win…The issue is the integrity of the NFL. The issue is can you just sit down on Sunday and not worry about what the Refs are going to do to help Cindy Brady this week. This is not about Suggs, what you think of Suggs, or what I think of Suggs. This is about having the NFL be the game that everybody can enjoy on Sunday and debate on Monday, without being reminded of things like Las Vegas.

That’s what Raiders fans have been demanding for more than a decade -

Even though everyone agrees it was correctly applied, and the competition committee has kept it on the books for another 12 years, Raiders fans are still convinced that the Patriots “cheated” because the officials called the rule as it was intended to be called.

The objective truth is it was an incomplete pass and the call was correct.

Why the competition committee wants this change is baffling, because the Tuck Rule exists for a reason.

This will be like the illegal chuck rule that Brady and Bellichek used to win a Superbowl against the Rams. Patriots were doing that all the way down the field. So they changed the rule to be illegal contact, so the Patriots couldn’t get away with that again. Hmmm..How did that work out?

Okay..somebody look up..

Question: Which QB has had the most 3rd down by illegal contact penalty the last ten years?

Answer: Tom Brady

Question: Which team has been the least penalized for illegal contact downfield?

Answer: New England Patriots

Just to be clear, it is still a fumble if you drop the ball after running into your lineman’s butt, right?

Hilarious, steelerben, I couldn’t stop laughing!

But on the rule itself: It was 12 years ago folks, if you haven’t gotten over it yet, I guess you never will. So live in perpetual rage, if you want, but the Patriots and their fans (like me) live in the present. Thanks Wes, now let’s turn the page and reload for next season.

The NFL decided to protect Tom Brady’s legacy.

Twenty Years from now, if the Tuck rule were still in place, all fans would say..Tuck Rule, that was a fumble, where did that come from? Then CBX would have to say..that was called when Tom Brady fumbled in the Raider playoff game.

Ooops…we can’t have that. Lets get rid of it now so nobody remembers how Tom stole his first Superbowl.

Ok we got it you have a stiffy for the Pats and Brady. Quit crying you can’t change it and your whining like a child….sssshhh go polish your Lombardi and quit crying.

What bothers me the most about all of this is that the league never even considered revising the rule until after Al Davis died.

Change came a year too late. Shame on you, NFL.
