Nick Fairley is about the same topic; a fan base denying the obvious because it suits their inclination. Fairley was an obvious example, and I knew it would make you happy to disagree one more time on that subject.

If you'd like a different example, here's another one. A couple of years ago, Alec Ogletree picked up a small GT running back and slammed him headfirst into the turf. You can find it on youtube pretty easily I'm sure. Georgia fans said it was a great play. Tech fans said it should have been unnecessary roughness. I agreed with the Tech fans, should have been flagged. Not because I hate Georgia, or love Tech, but because that should have been called.

Go to the boards of any team that lost this season (or even those that won) and you'll find griping about officiating. Some are valid gripes, most are either sour grapes or calls that could have gone either way. Honestly, I can't see any way to call this one a bad call.

Nick Fairley might have very well been dirty, but it is laughable for mutts to bring it up considering how many dirty players your own team has had over the years. Hines Ward was repeatedly voted the dirtiest player by his own peers in the NFL, and I still remember him delivering a dirty block in college that caused an Auburn player to tear his ACL. The Mutts have even had 4 or 5 dirty hits this year alone.
