Its definitely not something you see happening at all or very often. IMO he should have been ejected on the spot.

Because they don’t get flagged at all, the only ones you see are flags on tv! Its luke being on a charter and recording the catch and editing out all the foul language your crew says.

Again ref approached him and he is like 5 inches taller, in the heat of the moment you move your helmet up and down yelling because a 320# man is trying to kill you, you have no idea what this is like unless you experience it. I am telling you from a non bias point of view no flag should have been thrown in a tight game. In a lop sided game yes. Again uneducated spectators will cry foul all day.
Officiating sucked in this game all over the place and on both sides. That said, I believe I pay extra attention to calls and missed calls during this game. Depending on what color you wear, it is very often a drastic difference.
I see Jon's side. I have also had a way of getting people fired up at me. I too have been headbutted multiple times in my life in the situation he talks about. I never put the height difference into thought until he said this stuff. So it makes sense. Also makes sense on how I always wondered how the headbutted me first but never guarded my response. BUT, this flag could've easily been thrown for what was coming out of his mouth. That part we dont know.

I’ll end with this for all of you, imagine being a 6’4 260# man who gets into a fist fight for 4 seconds with a 330# man while trying to tackle a 200# man as fast as lightning Bad shit happens every snap on both sides of the ball and sometimes a little white dude in stripes comes up and gets involved, this can vary wildly, but when arguing with small zebra white guy, amongst the fist fight you’re having every play, sometimes you bump into him. It’s not intentional, it’s just in the moment and part of the game, you can’t calmly object in a violent continuous environment. This coming from a guy who has played, coached and officiated.
Lol, there r rules in the jungle. Stay out of stripes ways and dont let em dictate the game. As someone who played the game, u know this. Period.

I agree with you @Bigcountry40. I was arguing g this fact exactly with the people I was watching the game with.
