RR & stonefish,............. agree and agree. Tom Brady 12yr old haircut included.

Helmet to helmet contact does have to be one of the stupidest rules. Although I will admit, in high school football the likelyhood of injury is far less due to helmet to helmet than in the pros.

When a 260lb man beast is flying at you at mach 3, a helmet becomes a weapon. I like seeing big hits as much as any football fan but, at some point, the safety of the players has to take precedent. Some of the late hit PF's on QB's are totally uncalled for though. It is football afterall.

I've always thought OT in the pros should be the Texas Tie-Breaker format. You would figure the league sponsors would be all over it considering it would allow more time for beer commercials
