Should we call this the Aaron Rodgers Rule?

Maybe this will help the younger fans understand what the older fans mean by football isn't the same as it was in the past.

Nah, their too busy on their cellphones.

Nah, their too busy on their cellphones.

Why are those things mutually exclusive? I watched the clip and am reading this thread on a phone.

I can imagine what they said in the 50s:
These kids with their damn televisions... ruining the game by watching it.

how much the game has changed in my lifetime alone ....

But is that honestly better? Sure it has changed - everything has changed in the last 40+ years. But is a QB getting suplexed and tossed on his head a better "product" (because that is what this is)? I mean at no point was Bradshaw getting out of the defenders grasp or making a pass so calling in the grasp or just whistling it dead prior to him getting planted on his head is somehow worse because of toughness or something?

The one you posted earlier is absolutely ridiculous however.

What I would like to know are random odd things. If leading with the helmet by any player on offense or defense is out, wouldn't that mean that RBs jumping over the pile would be by definition a penalty?

Everything changes over time. I mean people don't seem to care as much about baseball, but can you imagine Bob Gibson today? No way. He would get thrown out of the league. I mean look at this:

Look at the defender's right shoulder, he clearly tries to "drive it into the QB". I agree with the call. He could have laid the hit and not driven the shoulder as though he intended to hurt him.

That's a good point.
