http://dfw.cbslocal.com/2013/03/14/emmitt-smith-says-new-safety-rule-means-nfl-has-lost-its-mind/Emmitt is right, this is insane. Might as well call it the "Backs have to take hits" rule. They want to see more passing anyway.
Then again, the counter rule will come in preventing defenders from jacking up guys even if they lower their shoulder into a ball-carriers mid-section...so these idiots are well on their way to either a) flag football or b) staged contests (remember the All-Star game of a couple years ago?).
NFL is not going to be around much longer, they are killing the golden goose and the people will have a crap sandwich without the bread and be told to like it.
Screw them, who needs this BS?!
