I'm against the staged fights, but this is the kind of garbage that can be eliminated if you know that you have to face the music. Look at Dillon...he gives him a look and says something when Hoffman should have been picking up his teeth.

Do you have anything other than annecdotes and bias to suggest this is true.
Perhaps the more likely answer is there is a much bigger focus on head shots. And every game is televised so you see everyone of these plays now. Go watch a game from the eighties rather than remember it and see how little respect was out there.
