However, the part that made me upset was that he risked the security of the ball in the process. Behavior that results in fumbles, costly penalties, overturned TDs, etc. is the problem. I am happy to let Meyer decide how to handle it. On Wed, Oct 28, 2009 at 4:38 PM, Randy Platt <[email protected]>wrote: > Oliver, > > > > I know your are not picking on me.
