Wah? You don't call a bogus penalty that results in ejection and suspension for half of the next game because there's been chirping. Both sides were talking trash, and it happens in every game. And Deshazor himself COULDN'T have been jawing much, because he had missed the first half of the game due to suspension.

my opinion is, this was called primarily because the defender had more than enough time to pull out of the hit. but chose not to, and took the shot.

That's not what I'm saying at all.

I'm saying that in the case of a "near hit", refs are going to be forced to use judgement calls to determine "intent".

Trash talking, yes, but there was a LOT last night. Excessive amounts, considering it was Rice.

And it was irrelevant if Deshazor himself did any jawing - he's the one who laid out the hit.

I'm not defending the refs, only giving some insight into why they might throw the flag sometimes and not others - the very ambiguous nature of "intent".
