        Yep, kind of like how LeBron doesn't get ticky tack calls that other NBA players get because of his body type, IMO.

            I understand Cam's beef here as there does seem to be discrepancy in how mobile/big QBs are handled by the refs in comparison to others. I saw something similar to that in the Buffalo game yesterday when Tyrod Taylor was running down to the sideline and Hightower tackled him out of bounds and there was no call. Later on in the game on virtually the same spot a Bills player got called for that when he tackled a Pats receiver.

            If you're going to put a "halo" around guys like Brady and Brees then you either have to do the same for the big/mobile QBs or call it the same way you would with a Cam or Big Ben. There can't be one set of rules for mobile big guys and one for your "regular/star" QBs.

              I don't entirely agree with the Ben/Cam stuff, but the low shot on him was absolutely illegal, should be a fine, and hopefully starts being called better before an injury or two turns it into an unfortunate point of emphasis.

                Refs have their favorites and those they think need more protecting than others. Vick had been destroyed his entire career to a blind eye by refs while refs bend over backwards protecting Brady Manning and Brees. It has been comical and it's not gonna change, ever.

                Then again, these are the same refs who decide what is a penalty and what isn't by flipping a coin most of the time.

                  Let's take a step away from the all the ref talk for a second. FanDuel and DraftKings are going to merge.

                          Wow, Pats trade Jamie Collins to Cleveland for a compensatory 3rd round pick.

                          Thought this guy was a really good LB who can cover anyone? 3rd round seems low.

                          I just have no idea the value of picks any more.

                                Yup. They're merging because they're both out of cash. Desperation move. The end is near.
