It's more like a broken bat blooper that drops in for a hit in baseball. Still counts as a hit, but it was a cheap one, and not one worth bragging about. It was a totally legal play (therefore not dirty), but it was a hit that served no purpose (as the play was essentially over), and not one that I would pound my chest over.

There really is a subtle difference between "dirty" and "cheap".

It's football...they're ALL looking to blow someone up...even if they all preach "We never want to see anyone get hurt" til they're blue in the face. They put bounties on other players, defensive players level offensive players when there's a turnover, WRs look to decleat unsuspecting defensive players on reverses...and yes, they will also decleat former Hawkeyes when everyone is letting up because the play is heading for the sidelines. It has always been like that and always will be...and the only cure is...keeping your head on a swivel...

Those are the type of hits that shorten a man's career...and life. I can't imagine what his parents must have thought after seeing that.
