Don't even think about hitting the legend that is Tom Brady. Not even with a legal hit.
According to Miami Dolphins linebacker Raekwon McMillan, that is essentially what a referee told him during Sunday's 43-0 loss to the New England Patriots. McMillan told Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald an official said, "Stay off Tom" following a legal hit.
Andrew Joseph of USA Today's For The Win noted it was Bill Vinovich's officiating crew that worked the game.
While that surely doesn't sound fair to a linebacker who is trying to help his team win, there are a couple of factors that could have been in play.
