Goodell: My thoughts on the Helmet to Helmet hits

NFL Brutal hits

I think that the safety of our players is the most important thing to me. I want the league to have stiff competition, provide games that entertain and build our fan base. To do this we need to offer another level of protection for some of our players. There have been several brutal hits this season that were not needed. They could have let up or decieded to not lead with the helmet. So starting this week we will continue to fine these players and they will now also be ejected from the league.

 

On a side note, I could just not live with myself if Tom Brady became a victim of one of these hits. I am holding out hope that the Patriots can go undefeated this year, I am tired of listening to those old Dolphins celebrate about their perfect season. And what could make me look better than more records broke this season. I can hear new fans joining in each week, my approval rating is going through the roof.
