It's so cute of you to try and poke the bear. Try again another day.

Sorry, I just kidding, I read you're commit and thought it could have a double meaning... I'm pretty sure you just meant the phrase.
As for the question of Matthews hit being dirty or not. I'm pretty sure he tackled the way people teach you to tackle. Yes he broke down and squared him up (you're suppose to, gives you a better shot of getting a piece of a mobile QB), his helmet went down (not clean per say, but people do teach that as it gives higher chances of fumbles,and it's commonly down through out the sport so it's not dirty either), as far as the QBs arm not being broke... that part is a bad argument (the rest is interesting)...but Matthews can't control where the QB's arm is going to be, heck he's lucky if he can control where his body is in relation of the QBs body and not being too high or low.
And please save the, only because he has a "G" on his helmet stuff. That has nothing to do with it... refs have simple got too aggressive with protecting the QBs... normally if it's any where close they call it, or even half way there they call it. No way they should be calling that one.
Though it needs to be pointed out, that the refs aren't as protective of "running" QBs like Cam Newton, so when someone complains that he doesn't get the same calls that other QBs get, I tend to agree, because they don't give those calls as often to the running QBs... and if they did that would be extra completely unfair to the defenses, instead of just the normal unfair calls the QB gets on hits.
