Quote:I'm simply making a point that there are those out there who are looking for any way possible to water down football for fear of injury. Badger's rhetoric about the need for these practices fits right in line with a certain sect in our society today who are hypersensitive to injury. Injuries are a fact of life in the NFL, and while what happened to Fowler sucks, when it happened, or how it happened is completely irrelevant. Especially since this was a non-contact drill where the number of players on the field had nothing to do with the injury, yet badger would suggest otherwise.


Why?


Because he wants a kinder, gentler NFL. He wants the players treated like they're some fragile piece of glass that should only be admired from the sideline and not in action.


Sorry, Brit, but we've all seen how dramatically they've cut back on the number of practices and the physicality of the practices they are allowed to have. Every minute these guys can get on the field and work with the coaches is critical, especially for rookies and players who are new to the system.
