EJ in the Superbowl

After all, this is about your games right?

Nobody's saying that you can't stick up for your buddies. I just disagree that's all. I'm over it.

In baseball, there are times in post season where I haven't ejected when I probably would have in the regular season. Trust me, I get it. I guess my main point is that had he ejected him, nobody on here would've said that the guy didn't deserved to get sent to the showers.

With all due respect, who cares about baseball in this discussion? This is not baseball as the rules for fights are totally different than what happens in an NFL game. Players can leave the bullpen when a fight takes place. Players in the NFL cannot leave the bench. That is why you see a basic pushing and shoving match during this sitaution and you saw hardly anyone even come to the field that was on the sideline. And in baseball they choose not to eject people at the clip they do in the post season. And once again, who said anything about what someone deserves?

I think the only reason there wasn't an EJ here is that it was the Super Bowl. There have been other instances just like this where a player shoves an official out of the way and gets tossed, Justin Smith from the 49ers for one (and he deserved it).

Any game of mine and he is gone, and yes Rut, I know I'm not calling in the Super Bowl.

And there have been other instances where similar contact did not result in an ejection. This was not a situation where individuals were complaining just about a call, this was a situation where players were locked together. What someone deserves is not the same at all levels. If that was the case then when NFL shows a coach go crazy on the sidelines then they would be ejected as they are in HS football. And in college and certainly the NFL the usage of language is very different and what is acceptable is considered very different. Let us not act like this is a totally new concept we are discussing here.

Football is a game involving extreme personal contact between players age 6 through 60. Would it make any sense to apply basic rules exactly the same across all the various levels?

The majority of disqualifications I've seen, with the exception of a deliberate "cheap shot" are not produced by that initial action, but are the result of subsequent actions or reactions or built upon previous actions or reactions.

AJ - are you aware we are talking about a player putting two hands on an official and shoving him away?

How are they my buddies? There was no ejection and you and others are comparing things to pro sports that have no significants. I have seen several fights in pro sports and officials handle those situations drastically differently than they do in amateur sports. So explain why was there absolutely no ejection that took place? I is not about disagreement, just answer why this was handled differently?
