The NFL should fine themselves for promoting hard hitting for the last 50+ years. They have lists and top tens and this and that of hard hits (which include helmet to helmet). They've glorified it for a long time.
NO FUN LEAGUE wants to suspend players for heavy hits
The NFL could soon start suspending players for dangerous helmet-to-helment hits, vice president of football operations Ray Anderson told The Associated Press on Monday.
A day after several scary collisions in Sunday's games, Anderson acknowledged the league might need to do more than fining players to prevent such hits.
"There's strong testimonial for looking readily at evaluating discipline, especially in the areas of egregious and elevated dangerous hits," he said in a phone interview. "Going forward there are certain hits that occurred that will be more susceptible to suspension. There are some that could bring suspensions for what are flagrant and egregious situations."
Anderson said the NFL could make changes in its approach immediately, with Commissioner Roger Goodell having the final say. League officials will consult with the union, but he didn't expect any opposition.
The Eagles' DeSean Jackson and the Falcons' Dunta Robinson were knocked out of their game Sunday after a frightening helmet-to-helmet collision, while Steelers linebacker James Harrison sidelined two Browns players with head injuries after jarring hits.
Anderson wouldn't speculate on how any players would be punished for hits from Sunday's games.
"The fundamentally old way of wrapping up and tackling seems to have faded away," he said. "A lot of the increase is from hits to blow guys up. That has become a more popular way of doing it. Yes, we are concerned they are getting away from the fundamentals of tackling, and maybe it has been coached that way. We're going to have to look into talking to our coaches."

Lol, I'm watching Mike & Mike this morning. They are reporting that photos of 2 of 3 flagrant hits from Sunday are now FOR SALE on the NFL website. Talk about a stupid screw up. NFL disagrees with hard hits...but not enough to not sale the photos of them on their website.
Bet those will be coming down soon.

Come on man!
Big hits and crazy celebrations were the biggest reasons why i loved football when i first watched it. Remember Sean Taylor's hit on the punter? lolololol.
Next thing you know now, they will not allow you to throw the ball for more than 20 yards

brady was probably the only pat player..........and farve and manning will be higher then brady
so...........
I'm happy they are doing this because this is getting fucking ridiculous. I don't give a fuck if Ray Lewis or whoever else wants to bitch and moan PAY FUCKING ATTENTION TO WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE DOING!!!!!!!! After that hit DJ took last sunday against the Falcons I was so fucking pissed man. Not because i'm a fan of the eagles or DJ but because that hit could have been so unavoidable it was so fucking unnecessary. Too many times I've seen these DBs go for the big hit instead of the fucking ball and you see the results. Not only are you putting another person's well being at risk but your fucking own as well. This is not fucking Vietnam this is Football at the end of the day it is still a game. No one is expecting you to put your life on the line for this shit so stop acting like you've got a death wish. This won't stop these concussions but these players have to fucking learn that what they are doing is not only unhealthy and dangerous ITS PLAIN FUCKING STUPID!!!!!!!!!!! I understand accidents happen and sometimes you can't control where your head goes or what another person is going to do BUT FUCK MY GOD!!! KEEP YOUR HEAD UP, GO FOR THE BALL, LEAD WITH YOUR SHOULDER, USE YOUR ARMS NOT YOUR HEAD FUCK MAN these fuckers won't be happy until they're laid out on the floor and can't feel their legs YOUR BRAIN IS NOT MEANT TO TAKE 2-3 CONCUSSIONS EVERY FUCKING YEAR FOR 10 YEARS YOU FUCKING ASS WIPES I'm all for big hits I love them but we neeeeeeeeeeed to protect these players on both sides of the ball teach them the proper tackling techniques so they can avoid hurting themselves ands someone else without giving up the play IT'S POSSIBLE!!!! I applaud the NFL for this because this shit has to stop guys I don't give a fuck what anyone says this has to stop
