Unfortunately, the paranoia is so ratcheted up that the refs felt they had to call a penalty simply because Boulton was dazed after the hit. Never mind that it was clean. Never mind that Sutton hit Boulton in the chest and not the head. Never mind that players have been delivering these same exciting hits since the league was founded. It's just not cool to deliver big hits anymore, clean or not.
— Jeremy Milks from Black Aces, on the momentum-sucking penalty assessed to Andy Sutton after he delivered a bodycheck on Atlanta's Eric Boulton.
