[Husker] Joel Klatt's Chad May moment, live on ESPN(.com)

[j j]

I know this is an old post but have been too busy  to read the list lately. I think one way to slow down cheap shots is to  make the person lose as many games as the victim of the cheap shot if  they got hurt. In other words: if a qb takes a cheap shot from a  linebacker and gets hurt and is out for one or more games the  linebacker also cannot play in those games. Of course this will work  better in the NFL where they usually say how long a player is out. And  of course this would be without pay in the NFL. If the player loses all  season to injury or even his career then so does the person who  committed the cheap shot. This would be for shots that drew flags not  just some coaches or announcers call of a cheap shot. Maybe it wouldnt  work but I think guys would have to think twice before making a cheap  shot.

Dick -

Not directed at you in an ad hominem way, but you've pointed out exactly why
I think the tone of the interview (and the interviewee) is so whiny ...

The article mentioned that the defensive player who applied the hit incurred
a 15-yard unnecessary-roughness penalty for the infraction.  What other
measures (short of ejection from the game -- or immediate lethal injection
on the sideline) is Mr. Klatt suggesting the NCAA implement to protect
quarterbacks?  Air bags?  Sumo suits?  8^)
