that included the design of practice drills and which helmets players were wearing.

Of course, penalizing every tackle because the players head was involved somewhere along the line certainly helps.

The NFL...is there a more over-hyped institution in the U.S.?

I read the other day that journeyman receiver Adam Thielen of the Vikings, who has just over 3,000 yards receiving in five seasons in the the NFL, is on pace to have almost 2,000 yards this season and take the number two spot for yards in a single season.

The NFL is broken when the rules are set up to so favor the passing game that a guy like Adam Thielen can do that. It's turning into a video game.

Third year of no NFL for me.

They could reduce concussions to zero by just quitting.

They would not be missed.

Maybe if they all knelt during every play all of this would be avoided.

If the nfl were only broadcast on satellite and cable nets like most mlb games, there would be no nfl.

The folks that sit on the rules and competition panel seem to have sustained some perty bad brain damage as well.. it is seriously impacting more than viewership. between them and officials that are clueless and announcers that coddle this idiocy, their days are numbered.. This sport is toast.. no matter how many fans they claim to still have.
