Favre's Dirty Block?

So I guess when Portis chased down and tackled a Bengal player a few years back in preseason, that was dirty too? He should have just let him score because it is preseason? Players aren't supposed to play hard and care about winning in the preseason?

I'll take a team of Favres and Porti' over a team of "oh are you OK, I'm sorry man..." types any day.

No, but when you see a guy you hit rolling in pain, maybe you check him out? When LT took out JT he was the first one up screaming to the sidelines. When AH bellyflopped Brady, he stayed and offered him a hand up. It's not unheard of.

I think it was dirty, he went right at the knees, basically exposing his rib that was "cracked".

I think Favre was just ticked to be in a Wildcat formation and took the opportunity to vent.

Yeah, that's it...he's ticked that he's playing again...you are a genius.

Favre doesn't want someone else under center when he is on the field. Or do you think he just wants to be out doing whatever? He wants to be under center, calling plays and running the offense. My name is Wile E. Coyote!

You do it to a QB and they go crazy a QB does it to you and he get's high fives.

I thought the block was a little bit dirty, but he was just playing the game. Plus did anybody see the hit that came on the next play? I don't even remeber who it was because everyone is talking about that old man, but that was a hit worth talking about. They got the Vikings back...

It wasn't "dirty". Dirty means he went low and didn't care if he hurt him or not. I don't think you can draw the conclusion that he had any clue at all what he was doing. He just went low like a QB who hasn't actually had to block someone in 30 years would.

Looked clean to me. Little low, but I didn't think it should have been a penalty.

He clearly went low, and he clearly looked at the guy and picked his spot. as for whether he cared if he hurt him, did he go over to see, no, cuz he didn't care. He got up, looked quickly over and walked off. Can't see how anyone sees that as a clean hit under current rules. If you want to argue the rules are too soft, ok, I agree. But under current rules that will be called every time, and I bet he gets a pretty nice fine also.

That was totally dirty. You don't block low like that. I mean, did you see how the guys knees buckled? Total cunt move!

No I agree it was an illegal block. I just don't see it as "dirty". Dirty to me means you do it knowing you could it hurt the guy and you could have done it a different way but it was funner or easier to do the illegal way. I just think he didn't know what else to do. He's not going to engage the guy with his arms.

Edit: Now if he does it again...then that's dirty. He should know better and be more prepared now.
