"Those who are badly off must go there."

Scrooge- "If they would rather die," "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
I don't agree with the idea of a ejection at all on this play. It is one of those hits that look worse than it was. Schaub was hurting in the play because his helmet was so tight.
Mays will get fined. There is no question about that. But the issue is still about how it looked rather than any actual injury potential. Schaub is very lucky Mays didn't lead with his head because he might of lost a lot more than a little scrape on his ear.
On the slow mo. replay you could see that his helmet came off when his facemask got knocked into the Broncos lineman after Mays hit him in the shoulders.
It's OK to not be OK.

Associated Press saying.....And Twitter saying...Mays explained to Schaub after the game that he didn't mean any harm and didn't purposefully hit him with the crown of his helmet.
"After the game we shook hands and talked about it. No hard feelings. It's football. It's a physical, violent game," Schaub said. "He said, `Hey, nothing intentional, nothing personal.' We move on."Joe Mays said he didn't mean to go helmet-to-helmet with Schaub. Mays said he expects a fine for the hit.
A Schauberknocker for sure
Tough hit, no doubt; but, for this Jackrabbit fan, I have to say Joe Mays plays the game the way it's intended and within the rules. He's a hard-hitting guy and the hit was just an unfortunate consequence of hard-nosed football.
Go Jackrabbits!
