The game is constantly changing, but even taking that into account the game is cyclical.


You're already starting to see it in college with teams like Stanford taking advantage of player matchups using extra offensive lineman to punish defenders who are a little light in the [BAD WORD REMOVED] but have better coverage skills.


I agree about the rule changes. I think everyone hates them. What I don't understand is why they feel the necessity to slow down the game. This is the professional level, where individuals know what risk they're taking (and are rewarded generously for it. ) they should just give these guys a release statement at the rookie symposium that absolves the shield of any responsibility for physical conditions AFTER football. They get paid well enough to cover any expenses after retirement. Even with league minimum.


Everyone would sign it.

Anyone who disagrees with this should look at some of the crime threads in the sideline. I am in no way equating what professional athletes do as criminal, but conceptually, it's very similar.

 

They want to easily make a boat load of money, but don't want to inherit any of the risks which come along with doing so.

 

I found this a very interesting post. +1 for you, my man.
