I let that GIF play for 10 minutes. Does that make me a bad person?

I made it my screen saver....

Like I said in an earlier post, Superman never had and never will get a concussion. Now if you want to hurt the man hit him with a little kryptonite

Or, from the movies, get a silver spoon orphan kid with a cape and that does the trick somehow

No. TV ratings. Take him out the game and everyone turns the TV off. Helmet to helmet is illegal regardless of position.[/QUOTE

Incorrect. You are mistaken regarding the rules.

They measured his IQ during the offseason at what is considered to be his "normal" range.

When spotters used this as a baseline Thursday they determined that he still had the IQ of a salad bar and could continue on.

Are you sayin there are positions that allow H2H? Cuz I'm pretty sure that's not the case

Take away all helmets.

End of problem.

Rugby has an astonishing low number of concussions.....and more physical contact than football.....without helmets.

Helmets offer the spear......but the NFL would NEVER take them away because they are the most identifiable thing in sports (NFL Helmets and their emblem).........

If the defender doesn't have a helmet, he is absolutely not leading with his head .....rather he is learning how to tackle properly.

I played rugby and this true.i Got stiffed arm in the mouth by a team mate and bust my lip. Next thing he says "since we on teams I tried to avoid your nose but if you wasn't I would try to break it." Never tackled high since

I think helmet to helmet is pretty common along the line of scrimmage between offense and defense. Running backs see a lot of helmet too but DBs aren't called for it unless they lead with the crown of the helmet or launch themselves. But, I could be wrong.

Now this is brilliant

H2H rules are for defenseless players (WR making a catch, QB throwing the ball, etc.).
