What's up with the new rules about not hitting hard in the NFL? There's always been defenders who hit hard and caused injuries (Dick Butkus, Ronnie Lott, Richard Dent, Mike Singletary, Jack Lambert,etc.). Maybe the NFL will turn into the NFFL, the National Flag Football League like Brian Urlacher said. Maybe they should adopt similar rules in other sports. How about the bull riders switch to donkeys? How about major league baseball switches to wiffle ball? How about hockey makes players wear parachutes so they can't skate as fast, thus not hit others as hard? Maybe the NFL should eliminate helmets and pads altogether so they can't hit as hard? How about boxing gloves stuffed with Tempurpedic foam? Everybody going into a dangerous sport knows the risks. Intimidation has always been a part of football. It is the defenders job to STOP THE FORWARD PROGRESS OF BALL CARRIERS. People get hurt in the sport, are the NFL head honchoes becoming pansies?
