That really all depends on what the circumstances were, and whether your Referee wanted to hang his hat, and maybe his career, on proving to all those in attendance how much of a hard case he could be.

Dealing with a mouse problem by fitting mouse traps with nuclear warheads, will absolutely get rid of mice, but the resulting collateral damage may be judged to be somewhat excessive and even counterproductive.

I'm not saying, I would do it, and we didn't do it. It was closing in on five minutes and they weren't out of the locker room. Opposing coach was getting real irriatated.

I guess my real question is where is that line?
