    The ball came out after he was already down.

    I too, hope he's alright.
    PR said X rays were negative on DD. Parker knee injury still being evaluated.

    Darks caught that ball and it was outrageous it didn't get reviewed.

    There is no doubt DD caught that ball. His arm moved up and he flipped the ball, like a one-handed basketball shot. You don't go through those motions if you aren't sure you caught the ball. Tough kid going up and making a tough play, and it sucks that the refs didn't recognize it.

    I thought the hit on Darks was a textbook spearing call. He clearly led with his head into the back of a receiver. The same guy led with his head into Sed's chin on the next drive. Of course there was no call.

    Glad to hear that Darks is doing okay. He did a great job to hold onto that ball and it sucks he won't get credit for it in the stat line even though it wouldn't have changed the outcome.
    You can spend a lot of time and money picking out the perfect floral bouquet for your date ... but you're probably better off checking if you have bad breath and taking the porn out of the glove compartment.

    The moral: you gain more by not being stupid, than you do by being smart. Smart gets neutralized by other smart people. Stupid does not.

    I agree isn't hitting with the helmet illegal. Why wasn't a penalty called?
