In before the 9:00 deadline:
Let's talk stupid penalties. Do they matter? Pete Carroll has been known at both levels for highly penalized teams that win championships anyway. Was he the one that called it the least important statistic or something like that?
Personally, I'm ready to strangle the nearest cute puppy the next time one of these dumbass players blatantly piles on or headbutts an opponent after the whistle or lines up in the neutral zone during a 3rd down stop. In eight years of playing football, I think I had one flag thrown on me for a false start or something. It's not fucking hard.
