One of the most devastating gridiron football hits of all time.

[LittleGuy]

This is footage from the Canadian Football Leagues opening week(I have thought of starting a CFL thread at some point) Winnipeg Blue Bombers at Hamilton Tiger-Cats, Winnipeg QB Buck Pierce gets utterly destroyed by Ticats DE Jamal Johnson who was left unblocked at the line of scrimmage, amazingly Pierce was only out of the game for a couple of minutes and managed to lead Winnipeg to a somewhat ugly 24-16 win.

Completely blindsided... Ouch.

agreed, it is a major turn off for this sport, however, it is creeping into all sports

Are we ignoring the fact it just wasnt a legal tackle?

Maybe if he didn't have a helmet on he'd have seen it coming. I think it only looks as bad as it does because the guy got blindsided.

Rememeber watching this on TV at the time.

What American football clip? This is a Canadian Football League clip, actually a much different rule set.

I think you have a point Stormer about it looking worse by being blindsided, but I'd point out that players in gridiron football would regularly die on the field if they didn't wear helmets. The power of a Gridiron hit like that is akin to that of a car accident. Luckily the guys don't get tackled or hit with that force often in a game.

football is a collision sport
rugby is a contact sport

Aww gaw, whatever mate.

 

[formerlyfastwing]

Aww gaw, whatever mate.

he is correct it is a different sport, played by differnet shapped men. Much like League and Union. The rules and number of players on the field are different, different size field, ball...etc, much much different.

 

[cyRil]

I stand corrected.

 

[LittleGuy]

Aww gaw, whatever mate.

The link I posted previously lists many of the differences between the two codes it is just a wikipedia aritcle but I think it sums up the basics rather well.
