Meh, the media sucks.

If you really think a helmet is going to keep him out any then lol.

A helmet won’t keep him out.

Being fricking retarded will keep him out.

How is any of this the media's fault? A lot of this is from his own teammates, bewildered he's responding like this.

Your GM spent years in the media. You don’t think he could’ve cleared up any misunderstandings??

Blowing up a story about a dude's helmet? Anyone else but AB and no one says a word.

Like who cares? People love drama too much I guess.

It’s time to quit fricking around with these dumb arse athletes. Wear what your boss tells you or get the frick out. Don’t like your pay or working conditions then don’t play. This goes for college also, don’t like the rules, then don’t play. It’s that simple.

The Yankees continue their tear...

No you can’t put a Schutt mask made for VSR or Air Pro on a Revolution hat

As said earlier they don’t make the helmet. Nocsae won’t recertify it due to age and it’s warranty is over.

Him painting it could’ve voided warranty because there are only certain types of paint you can use

Not sure why he’d want a Pro Air 2 so bad, they’re heavier, not as fitting, and uncomfortable

This is the old one right?





I am guessing when he talks about it sticking out a bit more and interfering with his vision he's talking about the ones right at the corner of his eye in that pic?

The forehead pad doesn’t stick out. I’m not sure what he’s complaining about.

The drilling is somewhat different so your mask is out further on the newer Schutts possibly, but it’s not noticeable

I think he’s just mad he can’t get his way and doesn’t like the air bladders. But the biggest issue is one helmet rule. That rule is the most retarded thing the NFL NFLPA agreed on ever. It’s more dangerous than safe.

If he wants the same feel just put him in a Rawlings like Romo went to. They’re designed the same
Issue with that is they’re no longer made, but they still have 6 years of recertifications

Possible. But quite the sell to go as far as to paint a fake helmet to try and sneak in.

Yeah someone will step in with something similar and he'll wear it.

He should try a VICIS I know Witten wears that as does Mahomes

I know nothing of their fit or feel. They’re ugly though.
