Vick's redneck play of stomping the players leg just did it for me. I'm glad the Hokies won but I will not ever defend Vick again. What a .............. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

While I don't in any way condone Vick's actions, I guess he was ill because he got jerked down by his face mask and it wasn't called. Also late in the game on the pass interference against UL he got it again and the flag was waved off. Still was a pretty cheap play by Vick. Beamer reportedly sent him the the UL locker room to apologize but Elvis wouldn't come out. beamer needs to take care of these issues in the off season and FAST!

i thought it was funny that it is apparently unsportsmanlike conduct to hit a quarterback during play

I know which play you are referring to gcdevil22. When the replay was shown, the commentators sit silent for a moment and one then replied that maybe the defender said something to him after the play, although the enlengthened replay shows that he got up off the ground and chest bumped his teammate once he got to the other side of the ball where the rest of the defense was gathered. There was no trash talking whatsoever after the play as the extended replay showed that being the case. It was obvious the QB was releasing the ball at the same moment that he was being hit, even altering the ball's flight with the defensive pressure on the play.
Pitiful call, if they want to protect quarterbacks that much from a hard hit, maybe they should put a skirt on them in the future if that's how the game's going to be called by officials.
While I won't defend Vick's cheap shot, I will say that I understand his frustration with the officials. They called legal hits "personal fouls" vs. the Hokies, and waived off definite penalties against the Cards. Vick nearly had his head taken off via his face mask on one play, and it was waived off. Using the same criteria they used in calling penalties against the Hokies for "personal foul" and "unsportsmanlike conduct", the Cards should have had 8 or 10 called on them. The refs did more to slow down Tech's defense than the Card's offense did. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
