  Last Sunday LB Ahmad Brooks hit and tackled QB Drew Brees and was immediantly charged with a penalty revealing a personal foul because Brooks has hit Brees to high. The rule is that anything neck and above is a penalty, however, Brooks has no contact to either of those two locations. Ray Lewis (former LB) has offered to pay half of Ahmad Brooks' fine (16,000) because he disagrees with the call. How do you think this influences football in the future? Has the NFL taken this too far to protect QB's? Should this rule be changed before it could have a season impact for a team?
