Bush League Interception Bullying

Pianow and I were talking backstage after Marc Bulger was blasted while in the process of getting into the fetal position after an interception on Monday Night. The resulting shoulder injury turned a RamS rout into a Colts rout and basically ended St. Louis' season. Z. had something about it too on SI.com. My feeling is that guys hunting and killing the QB on interception has to be stopped. It's thuggery that's been going on for a while but hasn't always been in vogue. I was telling Scott that I can't even imagine some defender hunting down Joe Namath to blast him after a pick (and he certainly threw enough of them). All these rules to protect teams from losing their QB unnecessarily and you allow that type of nonsense. Teams view it as a free shot. Rarely if ever is it consequential in terms of the runback.
