Next they will ban the players from hitting each other with their handbags.

I was going to make a joke about our players getting new handbags in line with the new uniforms, but I don't want to insinuate that our players carry them.

If it's too dangerous for the NFL, I don't see what the fuss is about.

I do like the new 40-second rule starting after the ball is dead.
It's a crappy job but someone's gotta do it.

Agreed, this is a good move.

This may be a case of a blind squirrel finding a nut. The NCAA has done nothing but screw-up with its new and improved rules as of late. The 40 second clock will be another Halo violation disaster. The horse collar may be the only decent rule change the NCAA has come up with in the last couple of decades.
