seems like every game I watch now, there is a really nasty helmet to helmet hit, and there is never a call...last weekend I saw a really nasty one where the guys helmet came off and he was knocked out on the ground for a while, another a Steelers safety ran helmet as hard as he could into receivers helmet...no call....someone is going to die before they do anything. 300 pound guys that run 4.6 40’s running their helmets into each other is not cool. They put a ballerina dress on the QBs, but they won't call egregious helmet to helmet hits on defenseless receivers....stupid

If you haven’t seen Rep. King take Goodell to the woodshed yesterday about Rush Limbaugh’s interest in becoming a part owner of the St. Louis Rams, you should give it a view. It’s at the top of Rush’s webpage.

I know nothing about football. But it looks like the answer to all of this is a weight limit on all players (F=ma) and lots of Charmin tissue in the helmets.;-)

In the never-ending desire for more bread and circuses, the American sheeple who attend these modern gladitorial contests require more and more vicarious violence and blood.
They can tell you the stats for their favorite teams and players but don’t ask them to tell you the name of their alleged representative in Malfunction Junction.

I’d also remind you that nobody is holding a gun on these guys to suit up and take to the field. They are there voluntarily — for the glory and the dough. That they may wind up with blown knees and can’t walk? No sweat. Some of them wind up vegtables or dead? Not a problem. There are thousands of kids lined up behind them to take their jobs.

Sorry but I just can’t get all worked up about this when the country is circling the drain. It’s a huge distraction from the really important stuff we SHOULD be doing. Like replacing CONGRESS and fumigating the White House.
