NFL defends Clark's hit on Welker
Projo Pats Blog —
NFL vice president of officiating Mike Pereira told The Boston Herald yesterday that the hit Sunday by Pittsburgh Steelers safety Ryan Clark that knocked out Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker, while nasty to watch, was within the rules, except for being somewhat late. Clark was penalized 15 yards on the play and many have accused him of taking a cheap shot at a defenseless receiver. Pereira told the Herald's Ron Borges that despite a widespread perception, it is not illegal for a defensive player to leave his feet to make a hit, as Clark did on the Welker hit. Here's how ...
NFL Defends Ryan Clark's Hit on Wes Welker
FanHouse —
by Ryan Wilson Filed under: Patriots, Steelers, AFC East, AFC North, NFL Fans, NFL Referees This might be the most shocking thing you'll hear all season: NFL head of officiating Mike Pereira says that when Ryan Clark tried to saw Wes Welker in half, he was well within the rules. As in: he shouldn't have been flagged. Um ... what? Don't misunderstand, I miss the days when players were actually allowed to tackle each other, it's just that the NFL -- through their actions this season, anyway -- had been advocating for just the opposite. ...
NO FINE FOR CLARK

Per the Boston Herald , NFL V.P. of officiating Mike Pereira says that Clark won’t have to pay for popping Welker ...
No Fine For Welker Hit
The National Football Post » Hot News and Rumors —
No Fine For Welker Hit From Ron Borges of The Boston Herald : I t looked bad and surely it felt worse, but Ryan Clarkâs explosive hit on Wes Welker on Sunday was neither illegal nor unnecessary. It was a consequence of what pro football is and what Welker has done to opposing teams the past few seasons. Most importantly, it was within the rules. When the Steelers free safety all but split the tiny wide receiver in half as he ran across the face of Pittsburghâs defense, it felt like you could hear the collision in the stands. It looked even worse on television as a slowing Welker was leveled by a speeding bullet who threw his shoulder into the receiverâs body as Matt Casselâs ...
NFL Defends Ryan Clark Hit On Wes Welker
FanIQ Blog —
You may remember this hit above from this weekend's Steelers/Pats game. It's the one where Wes Welker had his brain scrambled by Ryan Clark, even though Welker was pulling up and wasn't anywhere close to the ball. And just to top it all off, Clark also launched himself into Welker, leaving both his feet, which is, you know, sort of dangerous. See, for all those reasons, the refs threw a flag on the play.
Naturally, today the NFL has stepped in to fine Clark for this vicious hit, right?
Hahahaha, no, of course not. Instead they're here to tell us just how legal it is. Take it away NFL head of ...

... As you saw, Clark was penalized 15 yards for hitting a defenseless Welker. Whether the hit was illegal, or dirty, is up to interpretation.

Shaq Loves Ryan Clark's Hit on Wes Welker

[image] Last month, there was tons of hoopla surrounding a fake Twitter page that claimed to be from Shaquille O'Neal. It ended up being exposed as a farce, but it forced the real Shaq's hand, and made The Big Aristotle open his own, official Twitter page. You can read it here . The Diesel is using a combination of text messages and computer typing to update his ever-changing status, and it's apparent that he made the right career choice. Writing isn't his strong suit, but he did throw out some support to a certain, beleaguered Steeler via text message .
