Around the NFL Off - Season style.

Because those hits had no intent. It's freakin' football, guys are going to blow out their knees. So whenever a star gets hurt there has to be a new damn rule?? There's TOO MANY damn rules! If you look at the hit on Brady the guy was already on the ground. What's he suppose to do? Get up and then hit Brady between the numbers???? That's ridiculous!

I'll say this one more time. Blowing up wr's coming over the middle is part of the culture of football. That's why we all LOVED Sean Taylor. It's the intimidation factor. Now... you have to let the guy CATCH THE BALL, let him make a "football move" and then hit him. Now if you agree with that rule then so be it. Maybe you'd prefer to watch flag football. But to me, that IS NOT football. Week after week we hear former players laugh at the rules today. The rules are too one sided and to me that's BS.

So why do you keep watching?

Those former players that are laughing at the rules as you say are also the ones trying to sue the league now because they didn't protect them enough.

griffin's new addias commercial. i posted it in the super happy fun thread, but wanted to post it here too, just couldnt help myself, i love this guy...

adidas Training & RGIII | "Blow Up" -- All In For Week 1 - YouTube

“Feel like I need to say this… Although my goal is to start Week 1, that doesn’t mean I will compromise my career to do so,” the first tweet read.

Griffin followed up with, “Starting Week 1 will be the result of healing, hard work, dedication & God’s anointing. No rush, just determination.”

RG3 says he won’t compromise his career to play in season opener | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2013/02/19/rg3-says-he-wont-compromise-his-career-to-play-in-season-opener/)

The hit on Carson Palmer and Brady should never be illegal hits. The NFL goes out of the way to protect it's stars, we know that. To me that compromises the integrity of football.

If fans still wanted 6-3 games that involved as many ambulances as footballs. If the consensus as to what was called a "great game" was 10 passes a game with 6 of those having the QB get clubbed across his head from behind sending his helmet spinning on the ground and his brain spinning in his skull. Something tells me the NFL, even with the safety of the players talk, would try to emulate that style of play.

Since the money for the NFL today is in 35-31 shootouts with QB X throwing for 450 yards and 5 TD's and QB Y throwing for 350 yards and 3 TD's, player safety trumps all.

Its gotta be about safety and not money... Right? 18 games per season doesnt mean more money but does mean more safety...

No one wants to see a 6-3 game. That's not what I'm saying. I just don't like that the rules weigh so heavily towards one side of the ball.

Does he mean like in the Seattle game? Ok...

Kind of apples and oranges here.

In the Seattle game he probably knew he was going to need surgery after the season. He gutted it out when he probably shouldn't have, lesson learned.

Recovering from a 2nd knee reconstruction with an entire season in front of him is a different story, I think he's going to approach it a bit more wisely.
