Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice told 105.7 FM in Baltimore that he was fined $7,500 for a stiff arm. An NFL spokesman confirmed Rice was fined for the Sept. 25 game at St. Louis. It was a strange play because Rams cornerback Bradley Fletcher was flagged for a facemask on Rice. If anything, it appeared that Fletcher should have been penalized for a horse-collar tackle. While Fletcher was attempting to pull Rice down, the running back tried to break free with the stiff arm and apparently grabbed the facemask. Source: ESPN
Flag football is too dangerous, lets blow play dead when the defender comes within a 3 foot radius of the player.
I have not seen the play in question... Was this a stiff arm from hell... I mean did he grab the guy by the face mask and twist his head to the ground like a steer wrestler in a rodeo?
