re: Bill Simmons on the late hit

Didn't see the game but late hits on the QB in the NFL is the ultimate tool Las Vegas needed to ensure they always keep the AC on in those glass towers in the desert. NBA rules allow for bookies to control the action completely but every once in a while in a football game someone will accidentally drop a ball or something and the game will change outside of the control of bookies...late hit on the QB fixes all of that. It happens multiple times a season. The same is almost true of defensive pass interference in college football and given the current path CFB is on it won't be long before someone on the sideline who has not been in the game will be called for a late hit or roughing the passer because they happened to have glanced in the general direction of someone who once took a snap in a game at some level. The NFL is HORRIBLE as is the NBA. MLB is probably as bad or worse but it is so boring who cares???
