Hey, if Cap Rooney and Tyler Cherubini hadn't gone down, we never would have had Willie Beamon. Though I think Cherubini just sucked, didn't he?

And the NFL goes to great (in my mind, ridiculous) lengths to protect their QB's.
Considering the investments they (and their TV partners) have in them, I think they're great lengths, but I don't think they're ridiculous.

It sounds like Carey would have caused a lot less confusion if he just called it 'unnecessary roughness' like it clearly should have been.
Oh, completely agree there, and considering how meticulous Carey usually is, I'm at a loss to explain that one. UNR is one of the first things you learn when you're a kid watching football.
