Welcome to the NFL, Sav Rocca

Published by Dave at 7:44 pm under American Football, Australian Football

Apparently, someone in Baltimore declared open season on Australians — I’m looking at you, Ray-Ray — and rookie linebacker Antwan Barnes answered the call with a cheap shot on Saverio Rocca. Barnes should have gotten penalized for leading with the helmet, which is punishable by fines in the NFL, but Sav’s been toughened by AFL hits, so he got through it okay.

Have I mentioned that I loathe the Ravens? Yes? Well, I still do. Bastards.

(Spotted on FanHouse.)

    Bahahaha!
    I’m more excited by the commentary.
    This won’t bother Mr Rocca one bit. I’d sure like to see Mr Barnes do something like that on an Aussie Footy field…
    How about the AFL/NFL team up for a compromise series?
    Just a dream….

    Sav took it like a man and didn’t even look phased. 100% hilarious

    yeah, the kickers are all getting tougher out there.
    remember the big hit in the pro-bowl.
    and these guys from aussie football are tough anyways ;-)

    I’d like to see an aussie rules footballer do a fake punt — probably have a bounce out of habit…

    If you’re in the triangle and want to see some live Footy this weekend, the Tigers are having an Intra-Squad Game, Saturday @ 1:30…

    Great vid… there’s 30 other punters out there that would be on IR after a hit like that.

    What makes me laugh about this vid is the commentary. These american ignoramuses. Seriously, the commentator right at the end says, “Welcome to NFL football, a little different from aussie rules.” Yeah it is different numb nuts, you take away ALL the protection and the prissy pants and you get hit TWICE as hard as that sissy hit sav. You all know none of these ‘don’t touch me once i’ve dropped the ball’ girls would last five minutes in the AFL!
