Soooo
Larry Johnson tackles Polomolu by the hair (after an INT) and gets an Unsportsmanlike penalty for tackling by the hair.
Personally, I think that is BS. If that is th case you will see guys growing their hair just to prevent being tackled. You want long hair - fine. If it gets yanked during a tackle, that's the choice you've made.
(Note: if the penalty was for pulling Polomolu up after the tackle, then the call is justified)
SD is dismantling my Niners. At least the 49 Offense is showing it can score against a good D.
EDIT: the penalty is now being reported as Taunting, so my rant is moot.
