Make a GIF of the backside angle of that hit, where the referee would have seen. It looks like Brooks tackles Brees by grabbing him under the chin. Call would have been the same for any other QB in the league, no matter if at home or away

Uh, yeah. That's Illegal

And maybe the officials were for the New Orleans Saints a little bit more than the 49ers.

FWIW (and I'm a Niners fan), the end of the hit is cut off in the gif above. In that last bit of the hit, Brooks doesn't help himself by yanking at Brees's chin.

As a saints fan, it was a good call. But as a football fan, that call sucks in general. But hey niners fans, remember all the shit that went your way back in the Montana/Rice years? Welcome to hell!

He's not joking. Dunno why everyone here thinks he is. Everyone SHOULD watch American football if you watch any sport. Honestly, it has the most in-depth strategies and tactics of any sport out there. If you don't understand that, you don't understand enough football. I wouldn't say you're a "loser". Just…

Really? Really? A bunch of NFL players sitting around sharing their feelings? Why stop there? Why not have them teach each other to knit while they're at it? Just put on skirts and blouses and sit around in a big circle knitting sweaters and baking cupcakes and watching soap operas. Yeah, just send 'em on over to my…

If you saw this and thought "oh this is racist" and not "the monkey is different", than you sir, are the racist.

it must be true, no one can afford a watch that nice!

Pearl Jam sucks and has always sucked. Good on OKC.

Yep.

Just like everyone else he can pretend to be a real football player through the miracles of Google Glass.

What's with all that shaky footage of some guy's waistband?

It's funny to see you inveterate users of rednecks, by which you fully intend racial disrespect, whine about the use of redskins.

Nobody who has any ethical fibre is remotely involved with the "journalism" industry anymore. They were ran off years ago when it wasn't profitable to be reasonable, sane, and responsible.

It kills me to see European Americans acting offended at the name Redskin. Jesus you people are so superior to Indians that you must take up their plight because they are just not smart enough to raise a grievance themselves.

It wasn't reasoning, it was conjecture. I say this in defense of the guy.

leave it to Stallworth to celebrate something being struck down.

Stallworth then actively demonstrated his support for gay marriage by running over a married heterosexual man with his car.

Rhodes then says flatly, "I am not gay."
