Also, count me in on the sNugglyPuppy vote.

I’ve read this whole thread and I still don’t understand why rule two was created. Rule two must have been created because the existing ‘don’t be a jerk’ rule and enforcement failed. When was that?

Creating a rule to address things that are already covered in existing rules is something I thought only the National Hockey League did (obstruction hooking).
