NFL's new policy

The NFL has recently told officiating crews to start ejecting players for helmet-to-helmet hits. The NFL has taken action and given power to the refs to use their discretion. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/7430214. I believe that this is a great decision. I recently did a research paper about NFL disability insurance and it has enlightened me when it comes to injuries on the football field. Players are rewarded for hard hits from their coaches and owners (paycheck). The NFL by doing this has taken a step forward in protecting their players. Laron Landry just got fined a game's pay for a helmet to helmet hit on Jets quarterback Kellen Clemens. He did not argue this and I think it's because players generally agree that this policy is best for a player's overall health. NFL has been responsible for career ending, life altering injuries to players and the players understand this. Usually new policies are argued or disliked, but there has been no ill remarks and I think this is great. NFL players have to pay for their own disability insurance. This costs up to 3,000 dollars per 100,000 dollars of salary. The ejections for helmet-to-helmet collisions is a small step on the topic of safety for the players, but it's better than nothing. Roger Goodell should continue to look into safety precautions and issues surrounding the game of football and take action. Any and all safety measures taken to protect the athletes are welcomed by me and I bet that the players don't mind it either.

Brady vs. Manning

What you get when you see Brady and Manning tomorrow is the privilege to watch the two best quarterbacks in the game go at it. This rivalry has grown over the past four years with Brady getting the edge in the beginning and Manning winning of late (the last three). This brings up a simple question that has an almost impossible answer, "Who's better?" If there was a draft of the whole league and you had first pick, which one would you take? To me this is an easy answer, Tom Brady, but lets look into this. Peyton Manning came into the league with pro bowlers all around him in Harrison, Glenn, and Marshall Faulk. This made Manning's transition to the NFL almost seamless. Now Manning has Harrison, Wayne, Clark, Gonzalez, and Addai, not to mention a killer line. Lets look at Brady, he came in by taking over for a Pro bowl QB and wins the Super Bowl his rookie year with his best receiver being Troy Brown. Now he finally is surrounded by the same talent as Colts and he is flourishing. Tom and his team are on pace to shatter the single season scoring records and if they can get by the Colts tomorrow a shot at being the first undefeated team since the '72 Dolphins. Screw the controversy of running up the score and not having respect for the game. Tom Brady has been unleashed and he is showing the world that he is the best. Tom and Peyton are at the top of their games right now and I think that tomorrow's game will support my opinion that Tom Brady is and always has been better than Peyton Manning.
