Yes, Brandon Perna again. Just watch that video cause he has a compilation of the penalties being called. The Pittsburgh penalty really got me. It is in there. This is a real real problem. If we have to endure this shit all year.....I am pretty sure I am done with the game.
I am close to that anyway, and no it has little to do with the kneeling crap. The product has increasingly sucked. Mainly due to our over litigious society which in my mind is the real problem.
What confuses me about the "ESPN" types that are sooo concerned about the head injury problem is why they only seem to be overly concerned about it in the NFL. When was the last time you saw a hint at drastic rule changes in hockey, or MMA, or boxing, or soccer?
When was the last time you saw anyone calling for the autopsy of an EX NHL player that died? Gordie Howe recently passed and there was no call for an autopsy. He played 30 years of professional hockey. The sport did not even use helmets. Not even the damn goalies!!!
So, why is the NFL and football the only sports that get the relentless attacks when so many other sports have well documented cases of head injuries? Why aren't the MIKE GREENBERGS of the world drawing attention on that? Why isn't Bob Ley doing an OTL episode about concussions in other sports?
Here are some interesting studies for instance that just came out in regards to females and soccer.

Hardly anything reported. Not by BSPN. Why is that?
All I do know is the NFL product has sucked for a while now. This new pathetic ambiguous rule could be the death blow for me.
