Saw a thread yesterday about the possibility.

Drudge is now running this as if the decision has been made or is close.

Emmitt Smith has stated the NFL has lost its mind.

Owners vote next Wednesday at the league’s annual meeting in Phoenix on whether to approve this and five other proposed new rules, announced Thursday by the competition committee on a conference call with NFL writers.


quote:

“It is a foul if a runner or tackler initiates forcible contact by delivering a blow with the top crown of his helmet against an opponent when both players are clearly outside of the tackle box. Incidental contact by the helmet of a runner or tackler against an opponent shall not be a foul.”

It only makes sense. They've been calling for this for some time. A defender can't spear another player, but it rarely, if ever, gets called against an offensive player.

Emmitt Smith's opinion means very little to me.

wtf are you bleeding from your vagina about? The fact that drudge is running this and there is now public in-fighting in the NFL about this is a story in and of itself.

Get a tampon.

How about we just assume that football is a violent sport and you're assuming the risk of permanent injury if you play it. Sign the paperwork, take the field.

These potential rule changes for "safety" are getting fricking ridiculous. And I say that as someone who used to be a trainer.

Rush Limbaugh, who has legit inside NFL knowledge (recall he almost became an owner), stated there is talk the NFL may not even exist in 20 years.

derp

I'm guessing WRs will be drafted much higher next year in FF. Also, this has to hurt Ware's/Ridley's value.

He said it may come as soon as 10 years.

The Propaganda Machine has to make us afraid enough that we will go along with it.
