I hated how some of his teammates tried to pick him up, when he was lying there obviously in a state of disarray.

On a very selfish note.....I also hated that his injury robbed me of a gargantuan celebration, as I was concerned about his condition and the final ruling on the field. By the time it was announced officially, I had lost a bit of my animation. Probably saved a household item or two.

Consussion. You can tell instantly when they go to the zombie arm thing. Not an illegal hit by any stretch. Rice was going head first at an awkward angle leaving nothing available to hit but his head, and the defense CLEARLY went shoulder first instead of head first. There was no intent whatsoever. Just one of those freak plays that happens from time to time in the game of football. There will never be a rule that would have protected Rice in that situation.
