Well this is the latest thing the NFL wants to protest did the trick. It has been reported that helmet-to-helmet hits could result in an ejection. This is only for flagrant helmet-to-helmets, not accidental, but that's determined by the refs. Here's one report of this story:
The new policy was outlined Saturday in a memo from supervisor of officials Mike Pereira, which was obtained by the Associated Press. It followed two fines last weekend for what the officiating department had determined were hits against players in defenseless positions. One fine was against Washington Redskins safety LaRon Landry, who will forfeit a game check of $16,764 for a helmet-to-helmet hit on New York Jets quarterback Kellen Clemens. The other was against Philadelphia defensive tackle LaJuan Ramsey, who was fined his game check of $21,176 for spearing Dallas' Julius Jones. Sportsline'
You know what, this idea sounds okay. For me, instead of ejecting blatant offenders, eject them, fine, and possibly suspend them. Good job NFL, now shut the hell up and leave us alone. I'm tired of hearing you guys complain, protest, or fine someone.
Thoughts on this one? Did Commissioner Adolf Goodell do something right?
