Sigalf03 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 How? Isn't it part of his uniform? I saw it, a bs call. Johson did hang on to it after the tackle though, so maybe that is why it was called Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubbs Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 Don't know what the rule book says but that's absolute B.S. if tackling by the hair is the same as tackling by the helmet. Cut your same hair rupenzel! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeegiebo Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 So you're allowed to tackle by the helmet and continue to pull on the helmet long after the play is over? Just announced that the call was for taunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyr0802 Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 LJ was called for taunting, not pulling hair. must've missed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RussMan Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 If you are going to grow your hair, beard or whatever out that far then if you get tackled by it... so be it. Otherwise every team is going to recurity Cousin It to play for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

msaint Posted October 15, 2006 Share Posted October 15, 2006 (edited) He held on and didnt let go long after the tackle I've always wanted someone to do that to Troy. Serves him right for having that fabulous, jeri-curled lion's mane. Edited October 15, 2006 by msaint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tom Brady grew out his mane, you'd expect them to enact a new rule making it a penalty to even think about disturbing his doo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tom Brady grew out his mane, combined with the purse, I'd just tell him to go get the sex change and be done with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 Should he be penalized for having the hair? Good point. You can't read the name on the jersey when it's that long. Perhaps they could keep it in the helmet or do a bee-hive hairdo helmet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Posted October 16, 2006 Share Posted October 16, 2006 By John Grupp TRIBUNE-REVIEW Monday, October 16, 2006 Troy Polamalu might want to consider using a gel. Chiefs Pro Bowl running back Larry Johnson tackled Polamalu by his long, flowing hair after an interception in the most memorable play of a 45-7 shearing at Heinz Field. Johnson said Polamalu's hair, which hangs about a foot out of his helmet as a tribute to his Samoan warrior heritage, was too inviting to ignore. "I mean, the dude had hair," Johnson said. "What do you want me to do? They said the hair is part of the uniform, the last time I checked. When I grabbed it, that was the only thing I could get my hands on and pull him down." The NFL official observer at the Steelers game said there has never been a rule making it illegal to bring down a runner by his hair. After former Miami Dolphins running back Ricky Williams was tackled twice in 2003 by his long dreadlocks, NFL head of officials Mike Pereira made it a point to remind teams that it is legal to tackle runners by their hair. "The hair is part of the uniform," Chiefs coach Herm Edwards said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
