The NFL has finally weighed in on the helmet to helmet hits. You know, the ones they like to see replayed 45 times on the nightly news programs. Anyway, they finally dolled out punishment for those hits that occurred over the weekend and proclaimed they are cracking down on the excessive violence. But is fining some multi-millionaire a measly $75,000 really going to deter the behavior? I don’t think so. Some of these guys spend that much in one stop at the roulette tables in Vegas during th off-season.

The punishment the cartoon is, of course, tongue in cheek about a very serious subject. I think the only way they can make these guys stop is suspend them without pay for a game or two. And stop allowing the hits to be glorified every night through constant replays on sports center. That’ll curtail. At least until next season when the league will have forgotten all about the issue.
