How to Slide Tackle

Titans’ Coach Has Been Fined

Tennessee Titans coach Jeff Fisher received an economic penalty for the comments he made after his team lost to the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday. After the game that ended with a 27-26 score, Fisher criticized the game officials and this earned him a $12,500 fine that can be appealed.

Apparently, Fisher disagreed with some decisions taken during the match but what really bothered him was a call that took place around six minutes after the third quarter started.

Fisher is co-chairman of the NFL competition committee and he has been called a few times to defend the performances of the league’s officials.

During a second and 23 play, Mike Anderson from Baltimore was stripped of the ball following a three-yard run, and Robaire Smith, Tennessee’s defensive tackle, recovered the apparent fumble. Even though referees ruled that Anderson was down by contact prior to the fumble. Fisher challenged the call but, following a video review, the ruling on the field was upheld.

Fisher expects to be heard by the people in charge of the NFL offices in New York, since his team lost by one point and he affirms it was field position.

But Fisher isn’t the only one that has been punished. A few weeks ago Pittsburgh owner Dan Rooney was fined too for criticizing the game officials after the Steelers lost to Atlanta Falcons. His fine was $25,000.

is it normal to still feel sore after a broken leg?

ok, i was playing football, not soccer, aussie rules, australian football to be specific.
it was a year and almost a half ago since, around late march 2007, and it was a practice match, i got pinned down in a tackle, my left leg went out from under me, whole ankle went left, not right, and broke the fibula or however you spell or pronounce the little bone in your leg.
it still hurts when i go to bed and usually it is the inside of the leg,
should i see someone about it?
put ice on it before bed?
what can i do to help it?
and will it ever get the stength it once had back again?
any help would be greatly appreciated.

My friend fractured her left ankle (or something of that sort) and she didnt do her stretches. And let me tell you! she regrets it. I would recommend trying to just loosen it up, you could go see a doctor, and then maybe a physical therapist. I recently broke my foot, but all of my pain is in my ankles. But its really wierd that you havent already gained most of your muscle back in a year. I surprised!!! my cast has been of for about 2 months and my doctor told me that now my right foot is stronger then my left foot. You just kinda got to focus on building the strength up, pretty much only work on the broken foot until there even. If you go to the doctor and they tell you nothing is wrong, then just take some ibiphrophen, it really helps me with my pain. You could have refractured it, but i bet you would be crying if that happend. good luck, and just take it easy, NO RUGBY!

Does it seem like soccer aficionados speak a language all their own? It sure seems like it to me, and I’ve been playing the game for over 20 years. I put an article on the front page of this blog to help explain the most common soccer terms in plain English. Hopefully this list will help soccer moms everywhere (and soccer dads too, for that matter)to better understand what their little athlete is talking about! Click Here For Access: Soccer Terms.
