Vicious, yes. Cheap? Hardly! Go cry in your beer as the Steelers get their 6th Vince Lombardi tropy, loser!

It’s football. It wasn’t intentional, and it looked like both braced just before the impact for the hit as they knew it was going to be harder than expected.

It’s a violent sport and it was the biggest hit in an extremely physical game. Not at all cheap, however; it was clean all the way. McGahee took two steps before the hit and saw Clark coming. Couldn’t get out of the way. I’m glad that McGahee will apparently be ok. His time in uniform is running out, however. He took a big hit against Ohio State in ‘02 BCS NCG. Tore up his knee. I don’t think he has much left in the tank.

Vicious, yes. Cheap? MaGahee gets paid enough money and should have enough sense to figure it out by himself that hits like that are possible.

Personally I am glad both are okay.

There wasn't anything "cheap" about it, the helmet to helmet was completely unintentional.

Perhaps you'd prefer watching figure skating next time out.

As my high school football coach used to say:

Ballet is a contact sport, football is a collision sport. We play a collision sport

Vicious. Chaeap and vicious.

That is a better illustration for the helmet-led tackle that Jack Tatum of the Raiders(figures!) did to Darryl Stingly of the Partriots back in 1978-in a pre-season game!

Stingly ended up a quadriplegic for life, and just passed away last year.

Tatum, on the other hand, was never repentant for the intentional hit he delivered. He now cannot walk . He lost both his legs to diabetes.

Karma?
