I've already had one sports post today, but after seeing this, I just felt that I had to post it.
It would seem that after years of seeing plays where the umpire takes the brunt of the shots- receivers running crossing routes, linebackers flying to the ball, errant passes bouncing off their melons-this umpire decided to fight back. No idea what came before this since I didn't watch the game. Maybe this quarterback had already beaned him in the head earlier, maybe he had laughed as the official was taken down by someone else. Regardless of what the case may be, it was a crazy play.
Notice how the guy lowers his shoulder though. Seriously, what's up with that? He played it like a defender and lowered the boom on the QB. It was a great shot, even if it was bizarre to witness. I wonder if the NCAA has anything to say about it? Peace and Love y'all.

did you come up with that title yourself? if so, that's pretty sweet.
I saw them talk about this on ESPN, they said the ref use to be a linebacker (I think) in college. They also said that it was ruled he was wasn't making a hit, he was defending himself.....I say look at the replay, he clearly lowered his shoulder to make the tackle =)
