        I'm not saying it's all football's fault. I know there are concussions in other sports. Hell my daughter got one playing basketball.

        What I'm saying, what I don't like, is how the NFL is actively "downplaying" it, and how they fight off any attempt to shed light on the issue, while claiming to be all for "player safety".

        I know this is kooky talk, and it would never happen, but what do you guys think of the idea of going back to leather helmets?

          Agree and thats the chance you take. The money is good but there are risks. They still take steroids when there are risks and punishment if caught. But yes the NFL is all about money , otherwise why would they consider playing and considering a franchise in London which is think is a bunch of bullshit.

          The game is slowly being ruined and one day, i could see myself just dropping the ball and being done with it. The lame rules, crappy officiating, geting to the point that there is a flag on every other play with some crews and you cant lay a finger on a offensive player withut a flag....just frustrting to watch. I got real down on Baseball and stopped watching because of all the bullshit and Bud Selig being the worst Commisioner of all sports.
          We'll see where or how the NFL continues to ruin the game. Some fans are die hards no matter what but there is a line for me.

            LOL, why wear one at all if that is a possibility. Things are just different. The guys are bigger, stronger, throw themselves on a tackle even if the offensive guy is practically down and has three other defenders on him. Just unneccessary stuff like that going on. I dont know the answer. Its a violent game and they all know the risks. Make some money and set yourself up and retire early but some most greedy and they can never make enough money but then you cant complain if you end up a cripple later on.

                    Its the money! Sure some love the game but money is a big factor. Thats why underclassman declare early, its why we have holdouts and why guys like Tebow wont go to Canada to hone his skills. Why wouldnt he do that id he loved the game so much? He would still be playing. Its also why some get their payday and then lay down. Manziel is a guy that is in it for the money. who will probably be broke soon and try to come back and some dumb GM will take a chance.

                      Manziel is a member of a shady Oil family of Billionaires. He never needed the money.
                      I doubt he makes it to 35 tho.

                        Been to school twice. Chose two careers that pay dick.

                        Never understood why somebody needs more than a million in his bank account.

                          I totally agree with steve. Let's just not focus on a particular sport as there are many other indoor sports like badminton and tennis that causes injuries and still players love to play these sport.
