+1 Pop has his critics (myself included) but he is schooling Carlisle this series. Just in minutes ditrubution, Carlisle is doing a poor job and just may have coached himself out of a job.
Simple question - Why do you think the NFL outlawed the horse collar?
It really doesn't make a rat's ass what you think the intent was. If you grab a guy from behind while he's up in the air, and drag him down by the throat, it's a dirty ing play. And the fact that Manu got up like a warrior doesn't have anything to do with the discussion. It's like shooting into a crowd and accidentally not hitting anyone - then insisting it wasn't dangerous, since no one was killed. ing simian logic. (Don't bother looking it up... simian means "monkey".)

Yes everybody there cheered, I know I did, because that wasn't a cheap shot. It can be argued that he was going after the ball. THAT is a good hard foul. What Najera did was a cheap move.
Yeah, because the foul was the same as shooting a gun into the crowd. Great analogy.
Great avatar by the way.
It's a simple question, heel. Why not answer?

Already asked and answered in this exact thread.
I'll also add that this exact play happens in almost every soccer match. Sometimes it gets no call, sometimes a yellow, sometimes a red. No careers have been threatened. "But it's like a shooting a gun!"
Scott doesn't believe in god. Pay him no mind.
look scott, you're just wrong. It wasn't a grab the guy hard foul or hard slap on the arms, it was a grab and forcefully pull the guy down by his neck to the ground by a player who is KNOWN for committing flagrant fouls.
You can't justify that kind of violence in a game; there's no place for it....it's why flagrant level 2 even exists! It was a flagrant 2 by the books....and that's that.
I know you are a little miffed at the way Spurs fans are handling this, and I think this is because sub-conscientiously some think that if this were someone like Kobe Braynt, Najera would be suspended 3 games easy....yet this will be another sweep under the rugs "hard-nosed" (no pun intended) foul.
Look all I'm saying is that if Dana White was the NBA commish, I'd start watching before the playoffs.
I bet Manu could beat GSP.
GSP maybe. But Anderson Silva would probably make a mockery out of the fight, then end Manu's career.
You're an ignorant , and you never played football beyond peewee, if that. Careers ARE threatened, and some things players can't just shrug off. Even if they are super-tough, like you.
"The horse-collar tackle rose to infamy during the 2004 NFL season, in which it was implicated for six major injuries, four of which were caused by Williams (including two in one game). The injuries that season included broken legs for Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Terrell Owens and quarterback Donovan McNabb, Baltimore Ravens running back Musa Smith, and Tennessee ans wide out Tyrone Calico.
The horse-collar is particularly dangerous due to the awkward position of the player getting tackled... Potential injuries include sprains or tears to ligaments in the knees and ankles (including the ACL and MCL), and fractures of the tibia and fibula."
Dumbass.
Okay you're right. It *is* like shooting a gun into a crowd. Good win, internet superstar.
So do people really think Najera will be suspended for game 5? Not rhetorical, I want to know if it's likely (though it really wouldn't hurt the Mavs much anyway).
And you're still an ignorant . When you do something stupidly dangerous, it doesn't matter what your intent was. And you can't justify it by pointing out that nobody happened to get hurt. (That's what makes the gun comment an "analogy". If I had said that it was like pulling a guy down from behind by the throat, it would have been a "redundancy". Isn't English fun?)
The directive is dubbed the "Roy Williams Rule" in reference to the defender whose use of the technique seriously injured Calico, Owens and Musa Smith, who suffered a fractured right tibia and missed the Ravens' final six games.
Calico had arthroscopic surgery and returned for one game but aggravated the injury and had subsequent surgery.
Calico doubts Williams intentionally tried to hurt him.
See what I did there? That was another analogy. It wasn't Ginobili and Najera, but it's similar. And it doesn't matter what the intent was... it's a dangerous thing to do.
he just told you that you won and its not enough for you. Jesus.
Sometimes, if you beat them down enough, they get too depressed to breed. Less chance of a whole new generation of ignorant s.
GSH, you get bonus Internet Superstar Points for using curse words in subsequent posts. I sure wouldn't want to run into you in a dark alley!
I do bird calls, too.

timmy talks about najera and the flagrant foul.
Was it Cuban who offered to pay someone to go in and break Bowen's leg at one of the series a couple of years ago? If so, hummmmmmm?
rofl, doesn't matter anyways.
our guys still owned.
Najera is the only Mexican not welcome in SA.
This.
I dread to think what would have happened if it had been someone like Paul Pierce, in Manu's place.Wheelchairs to the rescue!
