    Does anyone else think that "late hit" call in Monday Night's Packers/Texans game was a totally crappy call?

    Yes, it was a vicious hit, but the Texan return man had one foot in bounds and had just stepped his other foot in the middle of the out of bounds line. At regular speed, you can see there was really no way for the defender to let up.

    Close call, but I thought it was crap. Like Paul MacGuire said: "Hey...it's a violent game."

    I said at the time it was a clen hit, while BF1 was jumping up and down and calling for the player to be ejected from the league....I still think the hit was clean....

    The league just fined Torrance Marshall $5000.00 for that hit...and it shouldn't have even been a penalty, much less a fine!

    The NFL is going fine crazy this year!

    no, it wasnt a vicious hit, but the player was half out of bounds, you could see that from the TV angle in slow motion, but I doubt Marshall could see that in real speed....
