Goodell's a worthless piece of **** who cares about player safety as far as it effects the potential for lawsuits.
Agreed. Soon they will add more reg season games which will not help players safety.

18 games is too much, that's absolute overkill. I think 16 is a little much right now, 18 is ridiculous

They need to start teaching people how to tackle instead of just launching your head or shoulder at someone trying to blow them up and end up on a highlight reel.
I agree with this. Let's go back to leather helmets and dinky pads. That would solve the leading with your head issue and it would look like old time football. Harvard and Yale could win a couple NCG's. The college season would come down to the Army/Navy game every year. President Eisenhower would be in attendance.

But seriously, I like the idea and not just because Im into football history.
