NFL Owners Pass Four New Player Safety Rules

[Monkeydad]

All of the rules are stupid and detract from the real game of football, but the one that really has me scratching my head is not allowing more than five players bunched together for an onside kick. How are you supposed to recover it?

I've never seen any player get hurt on an onside kick in my life.



No wedge makes no sense but it can be worked around.

Now Tom Brady is officially a wuss. He has a "don't touch me" rule in his name.

I'm not sure Brady has anything to do with the rule himself. It's the owners that are voting on this silly crap. I'm not even sure what the rule is. Wasn't there already a rule put it when Carson Palmer got hurt?

I'm pretty sure there was, it just got de-emphasized

Also, in defense of banning the wedge...someone was going to get killed busting up wedges. I've seen Mike Sellers just throw his body into the collective knees of the blockers in a wedge, that's just dangerous for everyone involved. I actually like the outlawing of the wedge.

This was all because of Brady and the crybaby/whinny NE fans. I just hope Darth Hoody quits bitching about how the whole league is against him and his team after this.
