Why blogs were created, Part 4079

Because there was just no way I could work this into my game story but there was just no way I could leave it unreported either.

In the fourth quarter, with N.C. State already trailing 37-0, Wolfpack lineman Kalani Heppe was called for a personal foul.

Actually, according to referee Ron Cherry, Heppe was called for a personal foul for "Giving him the business."

I'm not kidding.

Amazingly, there is precedent for such a call. It was made by a referee during a Jets-Bills game back in the 80's when Jets D-lineman Marty Lyons roughed up Jim Kelly after Kelly was on the ground. And, like everything these days, that moment was captured on YouTube.
