Why do guys have to put their lives on the line to sell seats in a stadium.
There was nothing "extreme" or illegal about the play - he just happened to be in the wrong place, at the wrong time. I doubt he, or anyone else, thought he'd be risking his life making what would usually be considered a routine tackle.
Besides, being from Buffalo, I know we sell seats at the stadium for even the slightest inkling of a possibility of playoffs. We're too gullible. 5-11 would pack the house next year.
