Your very insightful....the speed of the pro game is what makes it so hard to officiate. Also remember when the Patriots played the Rams? Billickek had his corners and safties maul the Ram recivers and they got away with it too. He knew the refs would look the other way. And your right about players knowing how to "Stretch" the rules. The Hogs of Redskin glory used to hold like they were dancing with the defensive line.
ROFL........
Thanks for your post.
I remember well. Mark May and Russ Grimm learned their fine art at my Alma Mater ...... Pitt.
