this season has been a lot of fun and i can`t wait to do it again in the spring but what happened in our game last night was one of the most cowardly moves i have seen all year. the grayhounds are a really good team and they played hard all game....saying that, they were at our previous game and were heard to have assesed our qb as our only "threat" as they were leaving.....last night our qb rolled out to the left and took off for the end zone....as he got to about the 2 and was gonna step out, one of the grayhound lineman shoved him with both hands at the shoulder and put him down hard to the ground....it wasnt something terribly violent but when your not expecting to protect yourself a shot like that can get somebody really hurt...it was intentional, flat out....all he had to do was use one hand our actually even go for his waist area....they wanted our "threat" out of the game and that is coward`s move...we are all out here trying to compete and have fun...be a man and respect the game

;	I understand your message and even feel it`s fair but it was not intentional. Just like everyone in the league, we all have full-time jobs that don`t care if we get hurt during the week as long as we show up the next day. I had some brief words with the QB after the game and expressed my thoughts about the incident. I play for the love of the game and my intentions was not to hurt anyone but if you would like to discuss my manhood, please allow me the time to discuss it with you directly. #31

;	2 hands, 1 hand, high, low, it doesn`t matter you are not to put your hands on the runner. That’s why it is flag football. I hope at the minimum there was a 15 yard personal foul on the flagrant attempt to take a key player out of the game.

;	never questioning your manhood....i understand the heat of the momment and all that....just no place for it...the half lasted 30 more seconds and the total net gain on the penalty was a half a yard

;	if we suspended everyone for the heat of the moment, the league would not exist. It happened, I spoke to the person after the game and as far as i am concerned it`s a dead matter. If the QB wants to go out and have a drink to discuss, I`m buying but all this other stuff is rhetoric.. See you next season.

;	if you cant control your emotions in the "heat of the moment" and as a result you try to injure people you dont belong here.

;	good pull..i love that song. anyway it sounds like 31 is sorry, and wasn`t trying to hurt anybody.

;	The coach sounds very bitter. #31 has apologies and he spoke with the person in question after the game. The coach might need a timeout and a Captain Kurt to the neck. (80`s reference)

;	Ok, so any one want to tell a good cheap shot story? Most of us are guilty at one point in our carrier of doing something that wasn`t really legal. Like the time I ran down a QB from behind and while I had his flag in my left hand, I used my right to push him off his feet, not in a way to cause an injury, just showing him as fast as he may think he is, I still owned him. He almost got the 15 for arguing with the Ref, I just smiled and walked back to the line.

;	vs. the blazers this year one of my guys was on the ground and one of their lineman intentionally stomped on his foot. didnt even try and deny it. i understand they were frustrated because they were getting smoked but that is just flat out ridiculous. if you cant play the game w/o losing control of your emotions and intentionally trying to hurt people you dont belong out there. so i have no tolerance for cheap shots. everyone has to go to work in the morning.
