Patriots' head coach Bill Belichick did not take kindly to Dolphins defender Bobby McCain going down like a limp noodle to slow New England on a punt in Week 5. What's that Bill?
Mean Belichick is the best Belichick!
When asked about Pitt possibly feigning injury to slow down Central Florida's no-huddle spread offense, coach Josh Heuple quipped, "You guys watched the game, right?" The Knights average an astonishing 48.6 points and 575.8 yards per game. They beat the Panthers 45-14 in Week 5.
The behavior is unethical, but there is no rule in college football to penalize team suspected of such tactics--faking cramps, falling to the ground inexplicably. It appears to be happening every weekend against the Knights. Here's Heuple's less-than-pleased response in the post-game presser when asked about opponent's faking injuries: Disgruntled, outspoken, and ready to jet away from the overcast shroud of Seattle, Seahawks safety Earl Thomas gave his own team the bird as he was carted off the field with a lower leg fracture. Nothing fake about this injury, or his admiration for the organization. Sigh. |
