I mean, I LOVE BB, I' take a bullet for the guy. But grabbing an official is wrong, I don't care what the circumstance is. I can understand his frustration, but still.

That being said I think a fine is appropriate. Those idiots who were calling for him to be suspended can kiss my Blue, white and red ass.

Yup. If this were Harbaugh or Tomlin or Norv (OK, not Norv, because that would require that he understand the situation in order to grab the ref) we would be demanding a fine or suspension. I'm cool with the fine.

I think BB was just trying to help a blind guy off the field

Vince was just on, says he still belives the FG was no good from what he saw.

These clowns cant even spot the ball right. I have no faith they have any ideal if that FG was good or not..

Do you think Bill Belichick should be disciplined for grabbing a ref at the end of the game?

So the alternative is......suspend the season because ALL the games are called like shit? NOT just ours.

In an extremely loud environment, it's pretty instinctive to grab a guy by the arm/elbow to make sure that he's heard you, especially when your question is extremely time-sensitive. How loud was it? Brady having to grab the other guys on the offense and shout into their faces from two feet away loud.

But BB doing this is a 50k fine.

IDK. This entire NFL thing is suddenly starting to feel very silly to me. Maybe my football time would be better spent watching my local high school kids play.

if this continues, I could see some type of stopage. Not the season, but some type of statement other than a harshy written note..

Away game: 4th and 4 on their own 25 against a heavily favored opponent in a tie game with 1m 24s to play. Punt formation, short snap to RB who runs for a 10 yard gain. Team drives down field and scores winning TD with 5 seconds left.That's how my son's high school team won this week. And the officials seemed 1000X better than the guys doing the NFL game. Much more enjoyable...

Surprising to see the majority in a BSPN poll say "No" to BB getting disciplined.

Replacement refs: So bad they're making a football nation of mostly BB haters take his side.
