I have always hated the ways in which the offense is given every advantage in football...but the evolving lack of calling the picks on crossing routes is the last straw (to what I'm not sure).

The defender gets penalized on the slightest incidental contact, but the offensive player can shove off...and completely blindside a defender? It's almost never called and such a complete imbalance. And the teams that are good at this "cheat" (here comes another thread about what it means to cheat) just happen to be the teams that I happen to not like.

I completely agree. Frankly, I don't really see much of a difference between a pick and a 'crack-back' block.
