What A Buncha Flags

A couple of great quotes on the NFL's new policy of suspension for helmet-to-helmet contact or what I like to call "the pussification of football."

Bears LB Brian Urlacher -
"It's freaking football. There are going to be big hits. I don't understand how they can do this after one weekend of hitting. And I can't understand how they can suspend us for it. I think it's a bunch of bull.
"You know what we should do? We should just put flags on everybody. Let's make it the NFFL - the National Flag Football League. It's unbelievable."

 Redskins DE Phillip Daniels - "There has been a warning sticker on the back of every helmet since pee wee league. When u put that helmet on you know you will hit or be hit. We still choose to play. Parents are asked to sign forms for their kids to play because of the dangers of the sport. Nothing is different." 

 Maybe EA can just design Madden so that each NFL player can control his own avatar and the new 18 game season could be played out on PS3.  Then no one would get hurt.  Sheesh.
