Neutering of the NFL

Old head rant start: I can remember back around 87-88…..there was some kind of NFL sponsored “road show” that was traveling around, nationally I suppose, and it made a stop at my High School in Southern MS. It felt like a pep rally. They showed a highlight film of the years past season and it featured a lot of the Saints defense making incredible play after play. It was truly impressive and had me ready for the upcoming season. I think every single highlight that was shown would be an illegal hit of some kind in today’s game. The game has changed so much in the past ten years, much less 35 years. I’m still a huge fan of the NFL, but no doubt it’s changed a lot. Semi rant over. ;)
