In a therapeutic way, I'm trying to shift all the anger and frustration away from Morgan, Danny Smith, Finnegan, Goodell, Rams, etc,
As for the kneel-down controversy, for the most part I keep hearing the lone, silly argument against it, "Well, YOU wouldn't like it if another team did that to you !"
Would you ?
Would you scream injustice if a team bolted through your kneel-down, in attempt to possibly strip the ball ? And would you support the Skins doing so ?
I watched an ESPN commentary on it the other night, and practically the only opinion they had on that show, was from Schlereth, the bitter old man. He went on a 10-minute rant, full of harsh insults - and being an O-lineman, you can pretty much guess whose side he took.
My view ?
What's the point in even running the play, if you're going to expect the defense to be forced to concede defeat ? Fans pay to see multi-million dollar professional athletes perform, not watch "automatic plays" with "predictable results" where the offense is allowed to wuss out, and say, "Please don't hit me ! Please don't hit me !"
