Take Pete's music for his video "Bodies" by Drowning Pool, and show him how to make a highlight video.

I guess I understand the NFL's point a little bit more now. There really is no need for the head to head stuff, my problem comes with the shoulder pad to the head hits. Oftentimes the receiver ducks or recoils to avoid the hit and what was meant to be a shoulder pad to chest hit becomes a hit to the head.

Was it just me or were the Browns involved in like half of those videos, never on the good side of it?

This sucks. I love seeing the kill-shot hits.

I don't really see how the Ray Lewis hit was much different than the others. He still launched which was one of the buzz words of the video.

I agree that hits to the head can be "caused" by the receiving player ducking. There is also the fight between offensive and defensive players to get low for leverage and, for the defender, to get under a ducking offensive player wtih the ball in an effort to dislodge the ball and cause a fumble.

The answer is that the NFL does not give a flying f**k about those issues. Their answer, really, is that if you want to do anything more aggressive than "wrapping up" the player, then you better make absolutely goddamn sure you don't hit his head. Forearm shivers to the head are OUT. Shoulders to the head are OUT. Head to anything is OUT. Launching is OUT.

And to be honest, while we can all sit here and make comments about putting skirts on players and all that, it doesn't take too many viewings of a Kevin Turner (former Patriots player who now has ALS, or Chris Henry, the Bengals player who died, had an autopsy perofrmed, and became the 50th person diagnosed with a condition caused by repeated severe brain trauma.

Quote:

Chris Henry, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver who died in a traffic accident last year, had chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) -- a form of degenerative brain damage caused by multiple hits to the head -- at the time of his death, according to scientists at the Brain Injury Research Institute, a research center affiliated with West Virginia University.

So yeah, ultimately, I'm good with it.

Hey, now wait a New York Minute...
Towards the end of that piece, they show Jerrod Page laying a hit on a NY Giants receiver over the middle. They say "This is a good, clean hit."

Bullshit.

Last year in that game, the ref's called that a personal foul, unnecessary roughness.

NY scored a TD on the next play, and turned the whole complexion of the game.

So they may say it's clean now,a year later, but it was called a personal foul when it happened. I clearly remember that hit and that day. It killed the Chiefs momentum that day.

Talk about revisionist history!

BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT! That hit that was "clean." according to the video was called as a penalty. Page knocked that guys dick in the dirt "legally." and they still called it a penalty.

Great point George.

It just shows you how "open to interpretation" alot of this stuff is. Plus, when this stuff is happening at about 100 miles per hour in real time, it makes it 10 times harder to get a call correct.

Kill shots happen every week, including last week. What do you mean '70's?
