He thought there was a comma in there.

The man. The myth. The legend.

But its natural to lower the head if you are leading with the shoulder.

Is this included in the rule?

Not sure guys who have been playing for 25 years can just flip a switch on how they make contact.

Someone at the NFL is dreaming of the day there's no head contact at all, meaning there's no more concussion scandals, and the players can go without helmets and become as marketable as NBA players.

At least the Eagles won the last Super Bowl contested with actual NFL football being played.

romey are you volunteering to take care of these guys when they hit their 50s and all have dementia or
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

If the players weren't so dementia-ed, they would demand a CBA that helped care for them after their playing days are done. They should take a cue from how well our veterans are cared for when they return.

QB Eagles

No more meaningless end-of-game PATs. Good rule change.

Overall a very good owners meeting by the competition committee, but that head-lowering rule has the potential to overshadow everything. If they implement it in a sloppy way, it's going to cause more chaos than the catch rule they just fixed.

No.  farg them.  They know the deal going in.  They're gladiators and they're there for my entertainment. 

And farg you for being such a raging hypocrite too.

Judging from your posts over the years, I'll say all your life. 

QB Eagles

Big Red may never win a Super Bowl, but he crushes the coach photo every year. Even if it looks like he has edema in his leg.

Looks like Belichick was out ransacking the rooms of the other HCs.
