    I was thinking the same thing. Harrison would have been flagged AND fined for some of those hits. Double standard for Goodell's beloved Rats.

    H2H hits on RB's are fully legal. By the leagues rules, that knockout blow to Ridley was a masterful, punishing tackle that will be on highlight reels for years to come.

    I must of missed the hit on Welker.

    Brady's slide vs. Ravens under review
    Tom Brady could be fined if the NFL believes this slide violated player safety rules.

    NEW YORK (AP)
    The NFL is looking into Tom Brady's leg-up slide that hit Ravens safety Ed Reed in the AFC championship game.


    Brady could be subject to a fine if the league believes he violated any player safety rules.


    During the final minute of the first half, Brady slid at the end of an impromptu run. The quarterback's upraised leg hit the onrushing Reed, who temporarily limped away. Reed was not injured.


    Reed says Brady attempted to apologize this week for the slide.


    ''He actually reached out to me, texted me,'' Reed told WJZ-FM in Baltimore. ''I tried to text him back, but the message exploded after 12 seconds, so I had to call him. ... He's just apologized and what not. But I told him, `You know, it's good, man.'''


    Reed did not believe Brady was trying to hurt him.


    ''I know he's a great player,'' Reed said. ''I respect Brady and his game for all it stands for, and I know he's not a dirty player. And emotions get going in the game.''


    Ravens safety Bernard Pollard said Monday that Brady should be disciplined by the NFL, which levies fines on defensive players for helmet-to-helmet hits.


    ''If you want to keep this going in the right direction, everyone should be penalized for their actions,'' Pollard said, adding Brady ''knew what he was doing.


    ''It has to go both ways. Hopefully the NFL will do something about it. If they don't, that's fine. If they do, then that's fine.''


    Baltimore beat New England 28-13 for the AFC championship Sunday.

    sad but very true. I think he was a lawyer in his past life.

    With the intensity in that game I am surprised Reed did not get back up and point a finger @ Brady as a warning. He basically let the whole thing go.

    True.

    Even with the Harrison fine that started it all against Clev, he was fined for the hit on Massaquoi, but not the H2H on Cribbs - who was a wildcat QB on that play.

    What Pollard did is just as bad as what Harrison did, only no fine and no suspension...

    That is what makes Goodell laughable...
