No discussion of The Slide?

Dirty, dirty play by Holiday.

Fuck the Jakes.

I don't think it was dirty, as in it being intentional, I don't think Holliday is that kind of player.  But it was definitely too late, and I think interference should have been called.

Exactly. It's what used to be called, "NL ball."

Tackling a guy by his facemask is "good old fashioned" football too, that doesn't mean that more recent rules put in place to keep a guy from getting seriously injured should be ignored.

...unless you're the Packers, in which case you can rip off the helmet of JJ Watt by grabbing the grill as he blows by you, while your QB safely throws a bomb downfield.

I didn't say that I agreed with the move by Holiday. I don't and think that his throwback-style play has to be put into current context. However, it did look like good old-fashioned baseball. Much of what used to pass for good old-fashioned baseball has been superceded by baseball lite.
