What's happening?

I watched the Steelers-Redskins game last night. If you watched it, there was a fourth down for the Redskins late in the game where Dick LeBeau blew up the entire Redskin organization and James Farrior came up with a big sack. Except Farrior got called for a personal foul for helmet to helmet contact. I couldn't find any video of it today but it was a rediculous call. He came in with his face-mask up and hit Jason Campbell with his hands. Of course, when you put it in slow motion, Farrior's face-mask lighty touches but nobody's head snaps back or anything. Helmet to Helmet penalties should be designed to reduce the kind of hits like Hines Ward shows here where he completely leads with his head, his eyes aren't up or anything. Here's an article outlining my opinion. (the fact that the article is from the Steelers in no way influences my opinion)...Go Steelers! http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/08293/920893-66.stm
