This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

“The only reason cut blocking isn’t illegal in the country is because of the academies,’’ Martin said at his weekly press conference. “It’s the only reason it’s still around. … Every year we take out more versions of cut blocking … They keep it around so the academies can still run their offenses.’’

“Do they do anything intentionally illegal?’’ Martin said. “No, they don’t do anything intentional illegal but in the trenches they are cutting all the time. They have linemen trying to get to the next level so therefore it’s not a chop block. Well, we have linemen who are engaged with their linemen and they’re getting chopped left and right. It’s almost every down. And on the perimeter they chop you and grab your ankle … like it’s a single-leg takedown … and it doesn’t matter because they’re there to win a football game, period, end of story.’’
