I can imagine Demarco Murray breaking a long run down the sidelines for a sure touchdown but cutting back inside and getting tackled.

Emmitt totally blasted the league over this a day or two ago, said its one of the most ridiculous things ever.

Then I read tonight that this rule was spearheaded by Goodell's #1 croanie, Mara

Did you also read it was a 31-1 vote, Cincy being the only team to oppose?

Did you read Jerry's take?

"It'll certainly make our runners aware of what we expect relative to use of the helmet," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said. "One of the questions I ask a lot is who gains from this, offense or defense? And it's a toss-up as to which side of the ball has the advantage on this rule, if any. The main thing is it's pro-health and safety, and that's the big thing."

So there you have it. Voted for and endorsed by Jerry Jones. The fact that Mara "spearheaded" it would be shocking only to anyone who is unaware that he's the leader of the owners committee (or some shit like that) and makes statements on behalf of the owners, just as Goodell does.

like you, i'm stunned it passed 31-1. i'm stunned it passed at all but for a league of vaunted "football guys" everyone but cincy failed in this.
