Lets not delude ourselves and say “it was an accident”.. He took out Brady’s knee (1st Game of 2008 when he was in KC – Helmet to the knee and claimed “Accident”), Welker’s knee (vs. Texas in last game of the 2009 season, Pollard was credited w/the tackle), is fined for Hit to Welker in AFC Championship (w/Baltimore) and then knocks out Stevan Ridley in the same AFC Championship game and isn’t fined? Are they really accidents or are we to believe he was just “Lucky” all 4 instances (and that’s just his play against the Pats – I’ve not even looked at his plays against other teams yet)?

Pollard was with 3 separate teams when these incidents occurred.. If he did 2 of these acts with only being on 2 of those teams – maybe a coincidence.. But he’s on 3 separate teams with this track record against the Pats… Really? NO ONE SEES THIS CONNECTION (especially the “Goodell Discipline/Fine happy” NFL)?

I understand that allot of you don’t like the Pats.. I get it and it is what it is (I hated the Cowboys when they went on their Superbowl runs, I get it and understand how you all feel) but is it really OK for Pollard to target any teams players to hurt them in the ways he’s hurt them?

If this was 1980, sure, no problem w/how he plays but now the standards have been set on safety’s side of the fence and Pollard is still doing whatever he wants.. Goodell needs to take notice..

Who is?

However it’s not just Goodell and the owners who are to blame for all this, you can primarily thank the veteran players who are suing the NFL over the concussion issue. How some adults can claim that they were unaware that repeated hits to the head were bad for them is beyond me, but there are a bunch of them and they’re suing because they think they can get a nice, fat payout from all of this.

Oh, and one more entity to blame for all this: the media. They make a big deal about this when really, compared to other high risk jobs like police officers, armed forces members, coal miners, truck drivers etc. it’s not that big a deal. NFL players may get injury, but they also get fame and fortune while other people in the fields listed above mainly get injuries and that’s it.

The offensive explosion is a direct result of the hit rules. Anymore tweaking and it may hurt the game more than help.

Did he even play pro football? If he did, he had to live on the bench.

I hope he gets booed out of the Superdome.

I really can’t see Goodell spending all week watching all of the game footage in order to determine fines.

However he is the head of the league, so he gets the blame either way. That is the problem with being the head of the organization.

First CINN picked the wrong LB (so obviously wrong at the time)

Then the pats had a pick in the top 10 after getting a pick confiscated by the NFL. Why would the NFL not take the top 10 pick for spy gate?

Yep…they make all the money alright. Why some of these guys even open there mouth is beyond me…thank goodness the media is done with this after today.

The whole damn city of New Orleans isn’t fond of the league office.

80% of the defensive players in the league aren’t happy with the league office.

The only people happy are Tom Brady, receivers, and haters of the Saints, oh and Bobby Kraft(refer to SpyGate and the destroying of all evidence by Goodell)

At least someone played (besides Goodell blocking for his Jr High football team).
