Lesson here is kick your opponent in the nuts. That way you only get a 15 yard penalty.
Thank you.merging threads
1) The action was absolutely flagrant. Again, this is where the interpretations manual and the interpretations given by the officiating department in meetings, conference calls, publications, scrimmages, etc. are key to know. A punch like that at the face is deemed flagrant, no ifs, buts, or ands about it. There is no other way to rule it. A punch such as that is always going to be ruled flagrant if seen clearly.
Apparently you are wrong. Did you watch the Lions game against the Saints? The Lions' Rookie receiver Titus Young threw a punch to the head of the Saints defender while the ref was standing right between the two of them, facing Young and watching the entire action. What result? Obviously he was ejected because it was absolutely flagrant especially in light of "interpretations manual and the interpretations given by the officiating department in meetings, conference calls, publications, scrimmages, etc. are key to know. A punch like that at the face is deemed flagrant, no ifs, buts, or ands about it. There is no other way to rule it. A punch such as that is always going to be ruled flagrant if seen clearly."
Oh wait, no he wasn't -- though he did draw the fifteen yarder. These decisions are judgment calls and do not call for mandatory disqualifications.
I believe the ejection was correct and warranted as Lee did punch. It really relevant always if there is a closed fist or open hand, it is still considered a punch. It was to the head. That is expressly prohibited.
Well someone is being a smartass, but again wrong.
He didn't use a fist, there wasn't multiple punches thrown either. Lee had a fist on one of this punches and did multiple strikes. Huge difference per the interpretations used.
