@eoe,
Just curious, but why is it crazy? They take their own risk. Also, if the player is on defense, no one is coming from behind him. One defensive player with one of those 'do's' this weekend said it only has been a problem 2x in all his football days. On offense, well, it's a bit iffy, but it's not like he puts his team at risk in any way.
The Samoan player is named Troy Palamalu...one of the best players in the league.
