I hate the play...but mostly because the Eagles seemed to run it better than anyone else.
What are your thoughts?

I just wish Luvu had gone offside for the 3rd time in that playoff game, it would have embarrassed the league to see a TD scored from that, i understand why he didn't but it would have been awesome.

It's not a football play and it's never been a football play.

I see Troy Vincent mentioned their safety committee is looking into it. I think they end up banning it.

Well 24 teams need to agree to it. It was a bigger issue 2 years ago and Troy Vincent said they shouldn't take a play away just cause another team does it well. The only way they consider banning it is if it starts hurting people, not because a team can't stop it.

In 2006 it was made legal, any way you cut it

to push....not pull or carry your teammate.
that is still a penalty but rarely called.
high school has it right...you can't push,pull or carry.
