By Bryan Reynolds -
We finally have a league disciplinarian that gets it, and uses sound judgment to decide on suspensions, why would we suddenly want him to throw all that away for the sake of a terrible rule that no one can make an argument for? The emotions of it overwhelmed some, and caused them to forget their objectivity exists and find any and all reasons (factually correct or not) to recommend a suspension.
This, despite video evidence to the contrary. Of course, as we have learned in the past, video doesn't mean anything. Right?
