I would either pick Jerome McDougle laying the smack down on Eli Manning or when Jeremiah Trotter nailed the Giant's punter, Jeff Feagles, and almost broke his jaw.  I have the vids of both of them.

I seen that Eli hit live and then played it back several times on Tivo.. it was a heck of a hit..and yea it was legal too.. makes it better. Speaking of hits.. ESPN's Monday Night Countdown has a segment called Jacked up.. it's awesome.. you guys should check it out if you haven't already. It's right before the end of the show.

ow man...that #3 looked like a lot of helmet to helmet contact too...

why wasn't it a penalty?  or was it?

No penalty, Trotter's helmet hit Feagles chin. Feagles was down for like two minutes then he got back up holding his jaw. Then they showed him on the sidelines with people examining it.

they were working fine about an hour ago...bandwidth limits?

/edit

hold up, why is that announcer saying that tackle should be a 15yd penalty??

you can't tackle people like that? i was never aware of that...you have the guy wrapped up, you throw him down...you can't really do anything else.

can someone explain that one?

I do not know, maybe unneccessary roughness? Oh, but I think that was necessary roughness!

This is why Dawkins is my favorite NFL player. This quote was on ESPN about the fumbled he caused by doing an elbow drop on one of the Ravens:

"I always do that," Dawkins said, explaining his decision to lay a hit on Taylor when he was already on his way down. "When the guy's going to the ground, I always try to deliver a big blow. It's not really to get the ball out, it's more just to let him know it's going to be like that all day long."

i dunno, it didn't seem that rough, i've been thrown down like that, mean, thats how wrestlers do it, sorta. i never really knew of any restrictions on tackling except for spearing and tripping...

yeah, that should be a penalty.  did you see an almost identical hit in the VT/GT game tonight.  wasn't called, but i don't think the guy left his feet as much...

Same thing happened in thw WVU/VT game (@ VT) and he was called for personal foul (but it wasn't head to head or late).

And the Winslow preseason-hit was the all time best hit for me. Either that or when Quincy Wilson marched on Meriweather at the (college) Miami game.

the WVU game, right? where the wvu RB and miami DB both lowered their shoulder, and the miami db went flying about 3 yards backwards, and then the wvu stepped over him, and kept running. that was great imo, but more by the fact it was against miami :)

    • Nearly 70% of Steam users now run Windows 11

      By NextGen_Gamer · Posted

      Along with that and very unfortunate for Linux, the AI boom/tariffs/global supply chain instability really destroyed any chances of it getting a decent chunk of market share. By all accounts, if a Steam Deck was still available for $399 (with tons of alternatives releasing at $500-$800 - instead of $1500+ now) and the Steam Machine was out there for $499, I think a lot of people WOULD have been willing to try SteamOS and switch away from Windows. But yeah, with the crazy jacked up prices now, people have to make safe bets with their money.

      Neowin hasn't been covering the Ladybird browser but it has been posted about on a lot of tech and Linux/open source sites. I have been following the effort myself for almost a year now. Cloudflare and Proton are among their sponsors. You can read the why here--> https://ladybird.org/#about

      That's really the user's problem, not the developers. It's not like the Windows 10 EOL was a surprise. Once a product goes out of support, you have to understand YOU are owning the risk of running it - the rest of the world will move on, maybe you'll be OK, maybe you'll be OK for a while, maybe you'll have an issue.... But you can't expect devs to write or certify software for dead operating systems.

      Not mentioned in this blog post is that Linux has now dropped for 2 months in a row. At a hight of 5.33% in March, then 4.52% in April and now 3.99% in May. I suspect the end of Windows 10 got a bunch of people to try Linux, fueled by all the Microsoft hate, and rabid social media push of that....and now they are going back to Windows 11 because of the normal Linux issues. The vast majority of PC gamers want to use their computers to game and not trouble shoot why a game wont work, or half work.
