[QUOTE="TxChief, post: 1518076, member: 11834"] Better reread his statement. Underwood did not stand up for Alan, but he absolutely criticized the punishment. And I initially said, look at my entries, I don't object to the punishment (but from the Commissioner's standpoint it's excessive/stupid). I criticize the punishment from the standpoint of what the Commissioner will have to do going forward. You are correct, what Alan did was VERY intentional, but was not meant to disable/harm the other player(therefore actually a flagrant 1), it was a message that he could have. It was stupid. (I say again, for he umpteenth time) But the Commissioner is not going to be able to ignore the next guy, and the next guy, etc. And those will have to be suspensions, too. Many of what you haven't seen will be absolutely worse. They don't happen twice a season, they happen every week, or more. Most aren't focused on, or in direct camera view, but don't kid yourself, they have multiple cameras, you just don't get shown the replay. I guess the conference will come down to the team with the deepest bench. [/QUOTE]
