The Saints have given themselves up for sure.

Usually, they only give themselves up after a long car chase.

Maybe somebody can answer this...I know O.J. beat the murder rap but why was he never charged for evading arrest and leading the LAPD on that infamous car chase that involved about 100 police cars and 15 helicopters? Should have gotten 5-10 years just for that.

Riot avoidance comes to mind.

O.J. was not driving. His friend Al Cowlings was the driver.

The term was used in today's Texans vs Bronco game.

By a wide receiver or tight end after a pass completion, to kill the clock he slid to a stop like a QB without being touched.

The Texans were slapping at the ball once he stood up but the ref had blown the whistle before any Texan had toughed him.

IMO the player is not down until touched by the opposing team, so I don't know why the ref blew the whistle.

Thanks for that graphic earlier. It’s one of the funniest, and accurate, I’ve ever seen. Did you just find it on the web, or did you create it yourself?

I found it and "borrowed" it. Please feel free to "share" it whenever and where ever possible!! (I sometimes leave a "note" when I do.....)

(You may "borrow" it also!!)
