It looked to me like Peppers was aware of the possibility of a block-in-the-back penalty and wanted to create some more space between Ogletree and the defender, so that he could occupy that space and block the guy legally. But he just shoved him to the ground instead lol

“Andy Dalton threw an interception with 12 seconds to go.” That hit me like a old song you forgot about but still bumps, shit was nostalgic. Never change Crimson Cannon never change.

Miami THOUGHT they had their tanking game down. Giants are playing a whole other sport!

That right there is some advanced tanking.

The Patriots will do this at some point this season, Harbough will bitch about it, and it’ll be banned. 

The unsportsmanlike thing is the Colts accepting the penalty.

The fact there's not rules against these types of plays makes me wonder why more coaches don't constantly get creative, I'd watch more football if I knew it would surprise me

“Waaaaaaaaaaah! I’m a cuck pissbaby and can’t emotionally handle the slight inconvenience of someone having a different opinion than me!!!!”

I think any penalty can be declined. I mean if the Colts got a Touchdown on the play, wouldn’t accepting the penalty be counter-productive?

You do realize that a civil suit will not result in prison time right?

They have to throw the flag, but the Colts don’t have to be big enough dicks to accept it.

I get that the officials look super harsh and lame here, but the decision to throw or not throw the flag isn’t really up to them. The rule isn’t “no helmet removal except when you’re really upset about something.”

Well, it also isn’t very sportsmanlike to befoul the contest by selfishly injuring yourself.

Good lord. At what point would Deadspin consider creating a tag “NOT INJURIES” for football-related stories?

That’s just WSU continuing a long, storied tradition.

“Antonio needs help”

Perhaps Mike Leach can focus more on preserving 32 point leads rather than what the California legislature does.

What is the name on the back of #31's jersey in the last highlight. It isn’t Buttstuffer is it? Does UCLA play in the XFL?
