I'm older than most on here, but very few individual plays register with my memory.

I bet you remember 2nd and 26…

Yep. Of course, numerous views in posts on Tidefans helps keep the memory fresh.

Speaking of, they’re calling for the abolition of the use of some words like GOAT, inflection point and quiet quitting. (https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/02/world/banished-words-2023-intl-scli/index.html)

I’d like to add “natty” to the list.

When I was learning about sports, a “goat” was a guy like Bill Buckner or Jackie Smith or Ed Scissum, a player making a key botch in a pressure moment.

(This is why studying history and ancient texts can be so difficult; imagine some Gen Z reading about the 1986 World Series and seeing the word “goat” by Buckner and thinking he’s the best first baseman ever).

Natty…..gotta go. Now.

The only people who actually use the term “quiet quitting” are ex-bosses with an axe to grind.

“Natty” is the worst thing humans have ever invented, other than pumpkin pie.

It really is pretty simple in terms of a personal foul : a) was Harrison defenseless? without question “yes” b) was the blow delivered, regardless of where or how, excessive? Excessive enough that IT WAS REVIEWED for targeting so the answer to that is clearly “yes”.

It didn’t meet the criteria for “targeting” which would have given Bullard a “sideline vacation”, but it clearly met the definition of a personal foul. And it was.

It apparently wasn't clear to everyone. I didn't see it that way. It looked like a good hard hit to me. The refs didn't think it was clear; therefore, it wasn't called. Many calls during games can be debated, and every person has an opinion about them. Having an opinion, though, doesn't make a person right because many opinions differ.

SIAP, this is pretty cool:
