The refs in last saturday's game sure didn't think so. If this happened in the NFL, Dunham would've fined 10,000 dollars. The worst part is, he taunted the kid when he was on the ground about to cough up blood and ESPN saw fit for this to make some special high-light reel.

I agree with you Beeds, but according to most people on this board, unless a defender actually shoots the ball carrier with a whale gun, it is a clean play. Reference the Junior Rosegreen thread. RTR

Definite spearing on that one.

Rosegreen is debatable due to the position Gibson is in as he comes down. If Gibson doesn't curl up, it's not going to be Rosegreen putting his head in front of his stomach/chest.
