Other than bias, it is mind boggling that anyone would call that guy dirty. Didn't lead with his head, gronk brings his head down. Call it a penalty by rule, but the idea that it was dirty is limited to those who like their balls deflated.

Other than the fact that defensive players generally go out to hit the opposing player as hard as they can, with the unintended possibility of ending their career, it's mind boggling how many people just can't let go of the past.
It will never change...you have a team that has a winning record on multiple seasons and there will be many who will stop at nothing to try and discredit those successes. The only shocking thing was to what extent they went to "try and find" evidence to "prove" their claims. (I they've found more compelling evidence regarding the existence of BIGFOOT, but hey maybe HE plays for the Pats too?)

It did not look malicious but it was a helmet to helmet hit - concussion resulting. Penalty was fair. Sometimes unnecessary roughness is just physics.

^^^ Not this. This is the unnecessary shot we are used to as Pat's fans from the everybody -v- the Patriots crowd. |
