Big ****ing deal.

When I was a senior in high school in the mid-80's, I could bench press 225, run a 4.7 forty and was the second fastest guy on a State Championship football team in Kansas. I weighed 160 pounds (and wasn't all that good at football, quite honestly).

Guys today are 275 pounds, bench 600 and run a 4.7 forty. The collisions can be catastrophic, leading to brain injury, early death, etc. If you think that letting men of that size and speed collide into unprotected men at will, I'm sorry, but you're ****ing moron.

You have got to be kidding me? It's football, you are getting paid millions of dollars, if you don't want to take what has been a legal hit since the beginning of football then go get a real job. The pussification never stops.

I know what he's saying. Years ago it was DBs hitting WR over the middle. You have D-linemen these days that drop back into pass coverage. You have safeties who are bigger than some d-linemen 20 years ago. I think the NFL thinks, "There's not many things that will keep fans away. People actually dying on the field is one of them." It could happen. I don't think it's very far fetched at all. I thought the call was bad yesterday, but I get the actual rule.

So, they're getting paid "millions of dollars" to play football, not crush a defenseless quarterback.

Big difference.
