A 6′6, 265 pound Dallas Cowboys tight end might have mistaken one of his team’s cheerleaders for an opponent during a Thanksgiving day triumph against the Miami Dolphins when he tackled the unsuspecting cheerleader to the ground.
During the game on Thursday, Jason Witten caught a pass from Tony Romo but as was tacked by the Dolphin’s defender as he reached the far sideline. On his way down, Witten swiftly grabbed the Cowboy’s Melissa Kellerman, bringing her down with him.
Kellerman seemed unharmed in the scuffle, and emerged with a surprised smile on her face.
Watch the outrageous video below:

Posted on November 28, 2011 at 5:39amThere are some funny comments, but equating a football tackle with child abuse or obama only shows ignorance.
It is sad that so many here, with A.D.D. or NO knowledge of actually playing football, have a need to comment.
Report Post »Take more than 7 seconds to review the play and you MIGHT see the reality.
The tackle took place INBOUNDS.
The TE had his right arm pinned to his body and he was trying to free it to brace his fall.
He is not a hero.
She was in the wrong place at the wrong time, facing the wrong way, it is that simple.
The TE never got his hand close to her B**B, his hand was on her back, and even if he had, I am sure he was more concerned about bracing his fall than to grab her.
Some of you need to get out of your basements and stop playing with your blowup dolls while watching porn.

Posted on November 26, 2011 at 12:00amHe was trying to save her from a knee injury, in my opinion. He grabs her right side, twists her around and twists his body around so he falls on his side and back and so she lands on him. Had he fallen naturally with the tackle by the dolphin defending, he could have landed to her side and rolled up on her knee, like what happens to OLinemen all the time resulting in ACL/MCL tears. He is a nice guy for what he did. Good job Witten!

Posted on November 26, 2011 at 12:40amWhat an idiot who wrote this story. A Tight End doesn’t tackle an opponent. A Tight End plays offense and GETS tackled. In fact, he was getting tackled WAY OUT OF BOUNDS by the cheating Miami player when this happened. If the Miami player hadn’t been comitting a penalty (which wasn’t called), the cheerleader would never have been in danger.
Blaze, if you are going to write a story about football, how about you get someone who has seen at least ONE football game in their life? What a bunch of buffoons.

Agree! Thanks for your great explanation!
Cheating on one side…Miami…
resulted in a Dallas hero and downed Cowboys Cheerleader on the other.
She could have really been hurt, but Jason Witten protected her.

Posted on November 26, 2011 at 11:48amThe NFL is becoming violent…..ROFL….They’ve outlawed just about every violent act in the NFL. Players like Nitchke & Butkus, today, would be suspended forever. Of course most of what they did was still considered legal. This was in the days before quarterbacks wore panties & before it was a penalty to look at them the wrong way.

Posted on November 25, 2011 at 11:13pmThat was a delay of game AND illegal use of hands if I’ve ever seen one! He actually reached out for the grab. A few more feet and they would have been in the stadium walkway for hot dogs and soda. Did you see the way the other cheerleaders came to her rescue… after she got back in line?

Honestly, it looked intentional. How stupid was I? I played hockey. No cheerleaders for us to ‘check’.

Report Post »You “promise” me based on a TV commercial? Seriously? My comment was a joke, @$$hat, so relax; you’re not that important. Watch the video carefully. It is obvious that he reached out and grabbed her. I looks to me like he was trying to minimize the severity of the hit that he knew was unavoidable, possibly by trying to move her out of the way before she got totally pummeled.
