Remember when Kiko Vancheapshotten took out Carson Palmers knee in the year that Bettis won the super bowl.
No... I remember a DL that lunged as he was falling down... trying to disrupt a pass and hit a leg to which most of CP's weight had been transferred.
Somewhat similar to the shot that took out Brady's knee nearly ten years ago except the player lunged forward after already being on the ground.
It still stumps me that with all the resources they have at their disposal, the FO could not have found out about Gilbert and JM before the draft. Is this why we fired so many scouts?
True... I remember when you first arrived here warning us all about how we screwed up drafting an immature party-boy with alcohol and drug issues.
Oh wait...
Nevermiind...

Not what I recall.
Cheapshotten came though the line fairly cleans and was staring at Palmers knee. He took the shot and out goes Palmers and on to the Super Bowl the Steelers go.

It won't play. Copyright protected.
I had no problem watching it on YouTube. You had to click on the link to get it to play.
Tour is never going to convince me, Cal and a bunch of other Steeler haters that wasn't a deliberate target on Palmer's knee. 2016 rules, Von Cheapshotten would have been suspended at least 4 games and a 50k fine. -

Worst acting job ever.
Kimo saw the knee and took it out.
From the look of it, it absolutely appeared deliberate. He was blocked, the ball had been thrown...and then the guy took a lunge at his knees.
-
he drove his shoulder directly into Palmer's knee, at that angle, on purpose.
It doesn't happen accidently -

You can lead a horse to water...
He blew up the OG driving him back to CP's level.
As he starts to release inside he trips over the Center's left leg and starts to fall... happens all the time.
He lunges as he falls to his target.
Hits his target.
That the play would be illegal today has no bearing whatsoever as it was not illegal then. Not to mention that there is nothing in the rule about "intent".

I don't think anyone is arguing that. Still, he really had no call to do the lunge, other than an attempt to hit the QB, which was unnecessary because the ball had already been long released before he started to lunge.

that coincides with the dirty history of cheapshots by steelers in
important situations to win the game.
like the dirty play by troy pollywannacrackya in college...
