Should the N.F.L. Bar Runners From Ramming Defenders With Helmets?

It already isn't football and I feel sorry for those who did not get to witness the real sport.

NO, NO and NO. That is all.

“You will hear sometimes people say, ‘You’re going to change the way the game is played.’ All those things are fine and need to be considered, but at the end, player safety has to carry the day. The game will be fine, but you’ve got to be sure you get it right.”

This is what really bothers me. The league's suits have become so arrogant that they think they can make any change and the game won't suffer. They're going to wind up completely wrecking this league before it's all said and done.

With each new rule like this, I get angrier and angrier at Bill Polian. That stooge has opened Pandora's box. Yet somehow, the Colts are this "paragon of virtue" in the NFL, while the Steelers and Patriots -- REAL football teams that know how to smack you in the mouth -- are labeled "cheaters." It's total bullsh*t.

Hey, on the bright side, if they take this type of bullshit too far, maybe next time they have a strike, a league like the UFL actually WILL work.

I want football back.
