Wednesday Walk Around The NFL 10-15
Good Morning Giants fans, Wednesday has arrived, and hopefully you're close to getting over Monday night's debacle. So let's take a look at some stories making headlines around the NFL:
- The NewsTribune.com talks about the epidemic of injured quarterbacks, and some ideas passed around to protect them.
- You guys are going to love this one: Deion Sanders was on NFL Network yesterday, and he says DigDug's punishment is too severe.
- NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell says the current economic situation is forcing a lot of "belt tightening" around the NFL.
- We're going to finish today with a couple of stories about the "Tuck Rule", and some commentary on NFL refereeing in general.
- John Czarnecki of Fox Sports talks about the tuck rule, and also about the ridiculous "offsides" penalty at the end of the Cowboys-Cardinals game Sunday.
- The Sacramento Bee asks: if a QB isn't passing, how can a fumble be an incomplete pass?
The "tuck rule" is what it is, all we can hope for is that the league will realize what a flawed rule this is and change it at some point. I was more annoyed at the call on the Travis Leboy near the end of the game. Why weren't the Cardinals granted an injury timeout? And what was the review all about? That must have been some review, considering you couldn't see Leboy in the TV picture, because he was so far away from the play laying on the ground writhing in pain being offsides. If the refs had reviewed the play, and found that he was really hurt, and ruled in the Cardinals favor, would Leboy's still be injured?

hilarious
considering that Deion was the same person that defended MIchael Vick saying that dog-fighting was a “status symbol” and not a crime.
maybe Pacman can join Deion, Michael, and the other pieces of sh*t the Cowboys have put behind the post-retirement mic.

Ideas to protect quarterbacks
Give me a break! How about we put them in a bubble and not allow them to ever be touched? Wah, wah, wah! It’s football. Guys get hit, and they get hurt. It happens. If they make any more rules to protect quarterbacks pretty soon you won’t be allowed come within 5 yards of them.
1 Steamboat, 2 Steamboat, 3 Steamboat...
I wonder if Julius Peppers can pronounce “steamboat”?
QB Injuries
If you don’t want your QB to get hurt, you can:
A) Urge the league to enforce the rules there are.
B) Block better.
C) Run the ball more often.
Demanding a rule change is for sissies.
Rules to protect QB's
The league could make the prevent D a mandatory alignment. No QB would ever be harmed again.
We're only gonna score 17 points?
