Take on Illegal Contact

In the NFL you at better off hitting your spouse than touching a receiver.
Nothing makes that more obvious than the new NFL interpretation of
illegal contact which is just ridiculous. Two weeks into the 2014
season and I've seen a dozen calls made downfield which were just
ludicrous. Today in the giant-cardinal game, Eli lost a fumble which
looked like it would be a huge momentum changer but instead it got
called back because of Jerraud Powers's left pinky nail touched Victor
Cruz's right shoelace. I get that the NFL is all about offense and
that is all they want to promote and and will hide it under the
"trying to protect our players" mantra but this is getting ridiculous.
These penalties often have nothing to do with the play and are only
keeping offensive drives alive which are otherwise just offensive and
should be put down.

I get the head hunting stuff but come-on, when a corner back get
stripped of any opportunity to play defense, what is the point.
Time to put flags on them and call it a day
