    It's all about preventing future lawsuits. Anyone who says otherwise is a fool.

    They go too far and seem to error on the side of caution in an extreme way - flag and fine for incidental contact and hits that clearly weren't directed at the head or neck. That's what is taking away from the game.

    My favorite is they can eject a player and review the call. If it was not illegal then he can remain in the game. But the penalty stands?

    the decreasing death/year is due to advancement in medicine/equipment. You need a lesson in causation.

    I don't have a problem with them trying to prevent helmet to helmet collisions. Have you read any literature on CTE? Scary stuff.

    Football can still be a violent game. Just don't use your helmet/target the helmet when playing it.

    Steve Berman (Seattle) already made another killing on the NFL suit. He'd sell his mother for a big settlement and a headline.

    This guy is the reason why REAL God gave us HarveyRoad. Time to let Harv off his leash and trim the fat.

    It moves too fast to completely avoid all helmet to helmet collision, but for the most part, I agree.

    launching and spearing they could regulate actually. all this throw the flag if it is close BS is ruining the game though.

    I would say they are mounting problems for football in general. Like roaddawg has said watching football is out of habit now. That is what it feels like for me. Its a passing game now, Stacy was the only 100 yard rusher last week. Reviews are horrific, commercials, pink merchandise. I know I am a debby downer on this, but the game just isn't what it used to be. I could go on and on about other shit. Salaries are insane. A guy like Harvin gets all that cash and who knows if he will play...ever..

    The defenseless receiver calls are bullshit too, god forbid you tackle the guy with the ball.

    10 years from now its going to be flag football.
