Quintin Demps' Cheap Shot on Kurt Warner Deserved an Ejection

In general, I think the NFL goes too far in trying to protect quarterbacks. But during today's NFC Championship, the referee didn't go far enough.

Philadelphia Eagles defensive back Quintin Demps leveled Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner several seconds after Warner had thrown a pass to Anquan Boldin, and for no reason at all other than an attempt to hurt him. This wasn't a case of a defensive player rushing the passer and not stopping quickly enough. This was a case of a defensive player going out of his way to hit a passer long after the pass was thrown. It was a cheap shot, pure and simple.

And while the referee was obviously correct in calling Demps for a 15-yard personal foul, he erred in not also ejecting Demps. It's not that Demps' hit was all that hard -- it wasn't -- but a player who goes out of his way to try to hurt an opponent has no business being on the field.

DeSean Jackson Owes NFL $10,000 for Posing in End Zone

Until yesterday, I thought the missed block in the back was the worst thing to come of the DeSean Jackson's 68-yard punt return in last Sunday's Skins-Eagles game. Apparently not.

The ever vigilant NFL Gestapo have reviewed the tape, and while there has been no mention of the blown non-call on the play, they have weighed in on Jackson's post-TD celebration. And thought so much of it that they fined Jackson and teammate Quintin Demps $10,000. Makes sense.

No flag was thrown at the time in the game. Both players told the Delaware County Daily Times that they would appeal.

"Yeah, that's crazy," Jackson told the newspaper.

Demps joined Jackson in the end zone after Jackson's 68-yard punt return gave the Eagles a 14-0 lead in the first quarter. The two celebrated by turning toward each other, with arms folded and heads bobbing -- a violation of the league's rule against "prolonged, excessive, premeditated or choreographed celebrations, particularly after scoring plays."

For cripes sake, already. Now we're fining guys for "Run DMC"-ing it? Jackson has had his moments this season, but I'm with him on this: yeah, it's crazy. And it's only going to get worse: NFL head of officials Mike Pereira recently decreed that the Cupid Shuffle is now illegal. Oh, the humanity.
