The NFL is walking a tight rope with it's fines levied too players this week. They do seem too be sticking to it's stance of player safety being of upmost importance. With a lockout looming at seasons end will this tarnish the image of the NFL even more? While some may argue that all these injuries are diluting the quality of play during the season, I am afraid they are going too become more like two hand touch football then the NFL we have all grown up with. They refer too Mr. Goodell as the players commisioner but, with a lockout looming and an eighteen game schedule all but assured is he really? Only time will tell if this good or bad for the NFL I just hope fans don't fizzle out in the process. I just do not think that fining a player for playing the game the way he has been tought ever since he began playing is fair. Anyone who has played organized football knows that is how you are taught to play. Lets just hope in the process we dont lose too many former pro bowlers to early retirment in the process.
