This, "Rensing charged downfield, lowered his white helmet and drilled the punt returner in the chest," loses virtually any sympathy I might have had for him. This was 30 years ago of so, and using the helmet as a weapon was tuaght at the time as stupid and dangerous. We lost track of that for a while and are only now returning to it, but when I played a player who hit with the top of his helmet was pulled from the game by his own coach.
