You couldn't make this shit up. Too many people playing with concussions? hell, ban the three-point stance.

Also, make the QBs wear dresses and make it a penalty to sack or block them them.

BTW, I assume everyone noticed Manning getting driven to the turf last night when he tried to stop the run-back of the pick? Under the "dress rule", that wouldn't be permitted.

Goodell: NFL would consider ban on 3-point stance

Feb 7, 4:39 pm EST

MIAMI (AP)—A ban on the three-point stance? NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says it’s possible.

Concerned about concussions, Goodell said the league will keep looking for ways to make the game safer. Speaking on CBS’s “Face the Nation” hours before the Super Bowl, he didn’t rule out the idea of banning the three-point stance for linemen to reduce the ferocity of collisions at the line of scrimmage.

“As you’ll see tonight, you’ll see a lot of players that never get down in a three-point stance,” Goodell said Sunday. “So it’s possible that would happen.”

While science is still trying to determine the long-term effects of concussions, Goodell said, the league has made progress in increasing awareness about the severity of such injuries.

“For many years the culture had been quite different—that concussions weren’t serious injuries,” he said. “I think we have changed that culture and made sure that people understand they are serious, and they can have serious consequences if they’re not treated properly.” Goodell has met with NFL competition committee co-chair Rich McKay to begin evaluating possible rules changes.

So what, centers would do the pee wee style side snap?

[HuskerFan]

Absolute fucking lunacy.

[AZ Husker]

Fuck it. Just hire a EASports to program all teams teams and let thumb jockeys duke it out in virtual reality. Then tweak the progamming to reflect psuedo-injuries and current obsereved/tested physical capabilities each week, modifying for 'injuries.' Then no one will erever get much more than a wicked case of thumbrosis.
