Error 404: Title not found.

Apparently Flacco wanted others (or was going to himself) to tackle Ginn Jr if he broke free down the Ravens sidelines in the Super Bowl. It's not like they could award the touchdown on a penalty, but how fucked up would this have been to see?
From what I understand of the rulebook, yes they could have awarded the touchdown if the referees believed he was unobstructed to the end zone, declared the game over, and handed the win to SF. If not, the commissioner would have the authority to reverse the game's outcome under Rule 17 Section 2, which covers extraordinarily unfair actions, in addition to suspending and fining Flacco, and taking draft position actions against the Ravens. It would have been the most fucked up ending to a football game, let alone a Super Bowl, in the history of football. |

Any team that would do something like that on that stage would earn my eternal hatred.
I'm sure AP was doing enough pain killers at the end of the season to make Jason Taylor cringe.

I just read that, and while it is most likely they would have done just that it still would have been awesome to see. Just seeing the person who ended up as the MVP running on the field, without a helmet, to pull a Terry Tate on a mother fucker who broke free. Anyways, Video is found here, I prefer PFT's transcript over Deadspin's, so here's the quote: For the painkillers -Jason Taylor would only be able to cringe if he wasn't still in a lull from his own habit  |

I... Yep. I can't ever root for that motherfucker again. I already thought he was a complete water head, but what a fucking douche. I love that even his teammates were a bit  over the thought of it. God, what a complete fucking cockgobbler. |

I only had two reasons for rooting for Baltimore over San Fransisco in this game: Jim "The Berserker" Harbaugh is annoying and the desire for Randy Moss to never get a ring.
That outweighed my dislike of Ray Lewis.
Having a douche bag for a coach and another at wide receiver out weighs being involved in a double murder???  |
