Check out this story about a Norwegian kicker whose youtube video got him a tryout with the Jets. The kid has a howitzer for a left leg and does some really amazing things with a football.

The video is in the link.

That's an impressive 4:00 of video. Punting the ball and then kicking another and hitting it. Playing with the football like a hacky sack and punting it backwards through the goal post 40 yards away. I don't know how many attempts he needed for some of those but his accuracy in those tricks were crazy.

I think tributes are stupid and done solely for PR purposes. I mean it's getting ridiculous.

I normally agree with you, but I'm sure you saw how emotional Cruz was on quite a few different occasions. I think his was genuinely sincere.

How about you just stop worrying about trying to hurt a guy and wrap him up around the waist and fucking make the tackle.

Yes, that's all he knows how to do. I agree.

"Boo fucking hoo! I can't hit people in the head, so now I'm going to aim for their knees!" or "Boo fucking hoo! Roger Goodell doesn't like me!"

Oh look, "you post about a team you hate, you must be mad". Shocking.

Try, I don't care who he is, I'm tired of listening to him whine and cry about being able to tackle. He's been pissing about it for how long now? Get the fuck over it and play.

It's ESPN. What do you expect? Look at the headline. "No headhunter..." They are always all over that particular issue.

Its not just ESPN. He complains any chance he gets whether its ESPN, NBC, FOX, NFL Network, or The Outdoor Channel.

And you lap it right up.

THEY ask the questions. The questions and answers are always the same regarding this issue. It's not even news.

He makes a good point...if all the changes are about "player safety"...why does Goodell want to add more regular season games? I think this is more about covering your ass from lawsuits in the future than it is about player safety. Can't hit 'em high....hit 'em somewhere else. Until they eventually outlaw that and then we'll watch flag football games. Sorry, I'm not a Goodell fan. These efforts to make the NFL an international hit. Come on. Those people love soccer. That's their sport. Football isn't going to catch on over there IMO.

I agree with GoChiefs, Harrison has always been a whining bitch about Goodell. STFU and just play proper football. It's not so hard, you will probably make better plays that way too. It's so funny how players QQ about Goodell.

Goodell is an asshat, but the players that complain always end up being the ones that have no argument

Why is it not being talked about more that Goodell suspended Fujita despite zero evidence that he participated in the bounty program at all?

BTW, Harrison is QQing bc he's an old ass player that bounced around the league for a while before he figured out he can be a roiding POS thug and make money. Then the dumbfuck thought that money was infinite and pissed his one contract away. Past his prime, sees the writing on the wall (goodbye) and can't come to terms with it because he's an asshat.

What does that have to do with him being suspended for something there was no evidence he was a part of?
