Targeting Rule

View attachment 78034

Im thinking you might be the blind one. Crown of the helmet to the head, neck, shoulder area of a defenseless player.
That's not the crown of the helmet. That's facemask to facemask. Do you know what the crown of the helmet is? Think of it like this.....when the OB says the baby is crowning? It the very top of the head.

It wasn't the very top of the helmet that connected, but it didn't really look like the facemask either. Remember, "The crown of the helmet is the top segment of the helmet; namely, the circular area defined by a 6-inch radius from the apex (top) of the helmet."

I'm not really sure whether it was the crown or not (and it doesn't matter at all in this case either way), but let's be honest - 6 inches is a lot longer than what you've been telling your wife it is.

That's the crown and it not some mystical location. The Texas player wasn't even close to the crown of the helmet.

You've been telling yours 9 inches, but measuring from the bottom of that saggy azz ball sack. More like 3.
 
You're freaking blind too. Go back and look at the still frame. his face mask is down low when the contact happens. The contact happens in the color of his helmet above his forehead. He didn't look up and push through to finish the tackle, his head is down. Some of you guys need to pull YOUR heads out of your own's asses.

I'll also add that every single rules analyst and talking Head that does this stuff for a living is all saying emphatically it was targeting, textbook targeting.

You seriously cant see they point of contact on that tackle? It ain't the crown and at NO time was it the crown.

The crown isn't some tiny pin point at the very top top of the helmet hero.
 
Not at all, obviously.

You can show them the rule but if it isn't written in crayon cartoon figures they will never get it.
No, it doesn't have to be the crown if you go to the head of a defenseless player. But for those that say he used the crown of his helmet, they are wrong.
 
Rule number one. The ground has a Pk of 1. Corollary: Manage thy energy lest the ground rise up and smite thee mightily.
When I was but a young young donkling, I was in CAP on a ground SAR team. My first "find" was a small four seater that got smite by a mountain probably due to the pilot forgetting to adjust his altimeter for ground level. He ALMOST made it as the plane was like 120 feet from the top.

This was before SAR satellites and the ELT was bounding everywhere even into adjoining states.

The pilot forgot one of the rules.

    Good Morning Chatterers. Extra tired this FriYay morning. Beautiful day today, bluebird skies, 22 degrees, but we about to get pounded like @t-gator Mom. Enjoy your day.

    If they search my house, they will find lots of pairs of gloves (and some toddler mittens too). So, the first question is whether the glove in question is connected to the kidnapper. Then, the next question is when was it found and has it been forensically examined. They may have found it right away on day one and just didn't announce it. Evidence is often (almost always) withheld from the public unless it helps the investigation. If it was just discovered, then why the delay? Why wasn't it found sooner? Was it really well concealed? OJ jokes aside, leaving a glove behind is really dumb.
    you can also tell these guys are married with a family of their own. Because they didn’t even ask why there was only one glove, and if there was any chance of finding the matching counterpart. They’ve seen this episode before.

    FNC reporting that a glove has been found inside the Guthrie home. How can it be found 10+ days after the event? Has incompetence impacted every aspect of local/state/fed govt?

    Excellent find. The fact that this song was originally performed by Temple of the Dog is clearly an homage to both the weird Epstein rituals and the inevitable shift from fiat currency to Dogecoin. Can’t believe they got Chris too.

    in fairness, if this Savannah is anything like my wife, the glove was probably in the toaster oven.
