Re: Nfl 2007

first sad story from the NFL

Everett from the Buffalo Bills busted up his spinal cord and will never walk again..

It's a good thing they don't depend on you for the proper prognosis.

Re: Nfl 2007

we can thank the nfl for that. had they decided not to move the kickoff line back, this may not have happened. very sad, indeed.

You can thank him for going head down. Don't put the blame on others. You sound like a typical parent. "So what if my kid used the knife. He wasn't the one that bought it."

Re: Nfl 2007

your comparison isn't even close to relating to this. sure he shouldn't have tackled like that. being able to accelerate even faster on a kickoff doesn't help lessen the impact when someone does tackle incorrectly, does it? the nfl should take steps to protect players, not put them in jeopardy.

You're an idiot but we already knew that. Read that again. "tackle incorrectly". That's exactly it. You can't blame the league because the guy fucked up. I'm not saying that this was a good thing but there's a thing called responsibility. Don't blame the league because that dude messed up. That's exactly what I said before and you still probably have a hard time understanding that. Move out of Atlanta and you won't be so ignorant.

Re: Nfl 2007

the rule probably wouldn't have stopped his injury, but it may not have been as severe dude. shouldn't have kept his head down, agreed, but when you get caught in the moment or forced into a position sometimes people do things they shouldn't... it is called instinct. so the nfl should take those things into consideration. when you give someone a chance to hit someone else harder like a kickoff, that is where the league needs to step in and say "there is greater chance for serious injury here, incorrect tackling or correct tackling." they need to take steps to prevent the chance for someone to get injured.

Re: Nfl 2007

People don't have instinct. You're thinking of animals. Try again.
You need to remember something, these are adults. If they screw up, they should suffer the consequences. This isn't child's play.

It's okay. You need to "live" somehow.

"I don't care if you're playing junior high, high school, college, pro, there's a risk that's involved with football and you just cringe when something like that happens to anybody at any level," Broncos coach Mike Shanahan said.

In any event, glad to see he may be better then expected.

In the meantime, love the shootout today between Cincy & Cleveland. Started Carson & Housh on my fantasy team which should give me the win this week

Re: Nfl 2007

I must say as I sit here and watch the Pats/Chargers game that...damn! I just don't see anyone coming close to matching the Pats on their schedule except for maybe the Colts. I hate the Patriots but they are really looking good at the moment.

Re: Nfl 2007

It's not fair to judge by the game this weekend. I mean, The Chargers are still trying to petition to join the NFL.
