I'm watching the Browns/Ravens game (I watch the Browns every Sunday on "Sunday Ticket"), and the officials just called an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Browns for "Helmet to helmet contact." Uhhhh.....what? Have officials ever PLAYED football, or did they just pick it up playing Madden '03 or whatever? When I played, it was my GOAL to hit whoever I could in the mouth! Poor little tu-tu wearing quarterbacks! I thought, once upon a time, that they were football players, too. I guess that that's no longer the case. Now, they're ballerinas in football uniforms!
I remember Joe Kapp of the Vikings. He was basically a linebacker playing quaterback. Now THAT was how a quaterback should play! He'd deliver a hit, pop back up, and then take it to them again! Quaterbacks now are so unbelievably protected, I'm surprised they even come on the field wearing pads!
I'd like to see quarterbacks joining the rest of the team and playing football again. It was a lot more fun to watch when a quaterback got hit, jumped back up, and went at it again. Now, football's become soccer, at least as far as the quaterback position is concerned!
"Helmet to helmet" my eye!
