I don't watch much NFL but caught some of the game last night. Is Rolle #26? If so, not surprised, I was thinking he was close on late hit and taunting if that exist at that level.

The best part of the article is that the player tried to make some accusation of the official not understanding the situation because he had never played football.

"Don't call me a boy on the field during a game because I said, 'You've never played football before.' "

Then later the article goes on to say "Head linesman Phil McKinnely, a former player for three NFL teams during the 1970s and '80s. McKinnely, who played collegiately at UCLA, is black, as is Rolle."

McKinnely also played in the USFL.

Another typical player-move: not knowing anything about people, and figuring that anyone who's an official only officiates because they couldn't play.

The best part of this was watching the Patriots kick off from the the Ravens' 35 yard line after those 2 unsportsmanlike penalties at the end.
