		<description>Lee - If I hit someone at my job, for any reason in any circumstance, I would be fired immediately and possibly arrested, even though I am a key tech support person for my company and have never been in trouble before.

Additionally, I attend college and hold a 3.94 GPA and have been recognized in &#039;Who&#039;s Who Among American Colleges and Universities&#039;. I&#039;ve never had a single reprimand of any kind. If I were to hit someone while at college, for ANY reason, no matter the circumstance, I would be expelled immediately and probably arrested.

The other day I was driving on a busy 65-mph freeway when some moron, while texting, cuts me off almost causing me to sideswipe an 18-wheeler. I blew my horn. He then gave me the finger and repeatedly slammed on his brakes right in front of me. If I had gotten out of my car and punched the jerk, I would have been subject to arrest for assault and battery - even though he deserved to be punched.

Criminal acts should not be tolerated in our society, no matter who commits them.

What makes a moronic jock football player with little self control any different than me, or you?

Goodell is a pussy and will never &#039;fire&#039; a player no matter what criminal act is committed. He just hides in his office and issues fines from afar. If he was required to inform a player in person about the fine, there would be NO fines.

Okay, tirade finished.</description>

		<description>lol...Im laughing at this article.  First of all I don&#039;t like either of the teams so I&#039;m not biased.  I give them credit were its deserved, but I&#039;m not 1 sided at all. The &quot;punch&quot; was a stupid thing to do, and your acting like it was premeditated....like he knew Ben was going to try to push threw him like a running back trying to find a gap, instead of walking around him (which he clearly could have done) after Seymour just got scored on.  Why not just spike the ball in Seymour&#039;s face too, or celebrate your score on his team bench that makes since too right? 

 It doesn&#039;t, that was Ben&#039;s mistake that he made in the heat of the game...which is understandable.  Seymour&#039;s mistake was even dumber and more obvious.  Ben takes harder shots every day and even in practice than that little &quot;NON STEPPED INTO SHOVE&quot;...yes..it was a shove not a punch.  Don&#039;t believe me, then go back and look at it.  1st point...Seymour&#039;s hand was open the whole time...never clinched his fist.  2nd point, he hit im in the damn &quot;protective&quot; face mask/shoulder pad....thats why they wear helmets people.  3rd point...if you pause the scene with the shove at the point where Seymour&#039;s arm is extended fully...you clearly see it past Ben&#039;s helmet before he starts to fall backwards which means that falling was 1 a delayed reaction from one of the toughest QBs playing today...and 2 it means that he grazed along side of his helmet.  again proving that it was a shove...not a punch. A punch makes contact and stays on the point of contact until the object moves, but unless you are a kung-fu open palm master, then your hand will not go threw a body or helmet (in fact the hand looks to hit mostly Ben&#039;s right shoulder which would explain him turning that shoulder while he was falling).  

So with all that being said... Is this a criminal act...no...should he be sent to jail for this...no.... if there is anything criminal its this damn article with all of its slanderous opinions toward everyone and everything including Roger Goodell.  Remember...they may have huge football contracts and such..but 1 its not just given to then in there hand and the team say go play...and 2 these people live a different life style than you do....Madonna just spent 2 million dollars for an in home gym (sad i know this)...but to be ejected from a game...or to put it more into perspective...for your Job to ask you to leave in the second quarter and take away a small portion of your paycheck for an act of violence within a violent sport? In my opinion ...the punishment fit the crime and yes...it could be a little more...but ask yourself...if you make a mistake at work that coincides with what you already do but it was a mistake that you made on instinct...would u be okay with your job sending you home with a ton of work left to do and taking any money out of your paycheck for what others see as a huge disaster but in reality...it was a dumb mistake?    No you&#039;d have a problem with that.  I probably make less or more than you do right now and i would have a problem with it.  The NFL did a good job with this one.  If they let him finish the game i think the fine would have been harsher.  But they hurt him and the team moreso by taking him out in the 2nd quarter...when was the last time you honestly saw that people...during game-time.  Hey, but In the immortal words of Dennis Miller....&quot;That&#039;s Just my opinion....I could be wrong.&quot;</description>

		<description>So Ben got what he deserved?  I think anyone who was in his place would disagree.  That&#039;s why we have laws; so uneducated morons can&#039;t be judge and jury according to their own whims.
It was thuggish and a cheep shot and if it had been Brady, Manning, Brees or any other big market QB Seymour would have been suspended.
The Steelers are being singled out by Goodell according to HIS whims.  The man is a petty dictator and he has the balz to claim he is trying to protect players...bull!
I could count at least 5 plays Sunday where the Raiders carried out hits that would have gotten the Steelers flagged and the players fined...but guess what? No flags or fines for the Raiders...
Excellence for its own sake is no longer rewarded in the NFL...now it is ONLY about the $$$</description>

		<description>I&#039;d pay the 25k fine to see someone sucker punch Princess Brady in the mouth. Get some scrub to come in to take him out of the game.</description>

		<description>Unlike Goodell, the Rooney&#039;s run their organization with respect for others. I bet that they are fuming. But you and I would never know it. Their actions will be taken behind the curtain and with proper measure. Mr. Goodell may someday wish that he had mastered this technique. The reason that the Rooney&#039;s are so respected is that they are unlike this commissioner.</description>
