Inexcusable

After watching the hit Willis McGahee took from Ryan Clark in the closing minutes of the AFC Championship game, I couldn't help but think about those rules that were put in place to prevent helmet to helmet collisions. Watching the replay over and over, it really looked like Clark's only goal was to hit with his helmet and shoulder, he wasn't trying to wrap up the ball carrier at all. Screw what Phil Simms said about it being a clean tackle. That was a 'Lead-with-the-helmet' hit if I ever saw one. I think that if you are willing to hit someone like that, you need to be thrown out of the league. You are too dangerous to yourself and others to deserve the privilege to play in the NFL. I'm sorry, but when you are willing to end someones career as very well could have happened with that hit, you forfeit your rights to play. Even if my favorite player landed a hit like that, that's just uncalled for. At the very least, he should have been flagged for unnecessary roughness.
