Was it cheap? Yep.
Does it make it even worse now that he's admitting he did it knowing there would only be a yard and a half penalty? Yep.
Should they look at changing the rules for plays like this one and the hit on Fleming a few weeks ago? Yep.
But he wasn't, and shouldn't have been ejected yesterday.
He's a scumbag, though.

He intentionally grabbed a player with both hands by the facemask, twisted his entire body around by his neck, and threw him out of bounds like a rag doll. He absolutely should have been ejected for that, Super Bowl or not. He could have easily broken a neck or caused other serious damage, and he did it intentionally, knowing that it would only be a 1.5-yard penalty.
