on the "violent hits" thing?
One week ago all the talk was "This is going to ruin the game" "You can't change the way the game is played" "hard hits are a part of it, it's a privalage to play in the NFL, no one is making you.."
Now they all say "We've got to get these guys to play like pro's" "We support anything that protects players" "Its the best thing for the future of the game"
I have no doubt that the NFL told their media outlets that they better stop bashing the new rules on the air, or else they'll pull the contracts. Just like they did with PlayMakers.
