    Do you remember the first football game you went too?

    Bills 1969 home opener vs Joe Namath and the Jets at War Memorial. Kemp was QB. Bills lost 33-19 I think.

     

    I was 10 and my 16 year old sister and I walked from the Broadway-Fillmore area where we lived to Jefferson and Best. It was a gorgeous day and as we got closer there were more and more folks walking along with us.

     

    I recall the scramble during every FG or XP to catch the football. They didn't have nets then.

    My first was also Joe Namath and the Jets at War Memorial.  It might have actually been this game.  I was extremely young and only remember one thing from the experience - we were close to the field, not sure if it was warmups - I remember it was muddy, and my Dad earnestly said something to the effect "Look over there, that's Joe Namath.  Remember that you saw him, he's very famous"

    One wonders if the NFL had sent a  stronger message against (literal) head hunting in the Gronk case if it would have had any effect tonight.  Probably not, but the post-game angst and outrage by the talking heads against plays that to me don't even compare to what he did is kind of crazy to me

    "It's an emotional game and these are like spur of the moment things, they just happen," Brady says.

    "You always love to keep your cool all the time but you're in a sport where you're trying to run and block and hit and tackle and be physical and aggressive. That's why people tune in." 

    Tom Brady: I Hope Gronk Isn't Suspended For Late Hit on Bills Player

    So when an OLineman is frustrated for being held for the 20th time, and decides to take it out on Brady's knee - it is perfectly acceptable because you know - emotional game and spur of the moment

    You are missing the crucial (and, I thought obvious) point that what Gronk did was well after the play had ended.  It had nothing to do with a football play.  It was a cowardly assault, no different from a batter clubbing an unsuspecting catcher with his bat between pitches.  I am amazed you can’t see that.

    Or a pitcher throwing at a batters head while he's stepped out of the batter's box and is looking at the base coach for signals, not paying any attention to the pitcher
