That makes no sense.

He has had multiple run-ins with the league office for past hits that put players at risk, and was warned that penalties would only get more severe in the future.

There was nothing incidental about that hit. He is a cheap shot artist, and that's saying it as nicely as I can.

The league cannot talk about concern for player safety and act with lenience in a situation like this, it makes them look hypocritical.

Frankly, I don't even hope he makes it on an XFL roster, should that league actually get moving. He is that much of a danger to guys on the field.

I guess because he left his feet? Once again... meh

what was it shag used to say?   WoW.

Doyle was on his knees, back to Burfict. Even if he's on his way to his feet, two hands shoves him to the ground or otherwise downs him as a runner.

The play was live, sure, there was absolutely no reason to be running forehead first into a guy in that position.

I was amazed that Doyle stood right up. That could have ended much more horribly.
