The NFL will begin suspending players this week for helmet to helmet hits. What are your thoughts on this matter?

I think that helmet to helmet hits should be a personal foul; the penalty should be a 15 yard penalty or half the distance to the goal (incidental vs intentional). For flagrant violations the player should be ejected from the game.

Anyway for the weekend that led to this, the NFL handed down two $50,000 fines and one $75,000 fine.

Seriously, if you want to hit something with your helmet, run into a brick wall.

See the thread about the hit on D. Jackson

no helmets means no helmet to helmet hits:p

unfortunatly NFL is a game where helmets are needed due to the nature of the ball being spotted at furthest gain, so you go as hard as possible to get that inch.

Where as in rugby it's about securing possession so you protect the ball, and the other guy wraps you up to try and get the ball free.

I bet that's what you tell all the girls :-P

if they're going to put in rules to protect QB's, they should be doing the same for receivers, running backs, etc

injures suck, and hurt the fans as much as the teams when someone goes down for a few weeks

lets just make it flag football! they dont get paid millions of dollars to tiptoe around the field

just play cricket or baseball
