We may be confusing "legal" with "cheap."  I don't feel like the hit on Gabbert was cheap, it just wasn't legal.  1. you can't hit someone in the head, 2. you can't hit someone with your helmet in the head. Martin's hit was cheap; it was no-better than a sucker punch on someone who isn't looking at you.  Osborne hitting Gabbert was a whole different scenario, but it was still not legal and he got rightfully flagged for it.  Suspension?  That will be interesting.
