    I"ve made a living for many years photographing sports. In Texas our Friday Night Football is a big deal & the perspective from the sidelines is exciting. I see a lot of good and bad. What I don't like is the decline in moral character in Players and Coaches alike at all levels. A really good Coach who teaches honorably is not the norm any more. Yes, I still see them, and some good kids, but the Coaches are worried more about keeping their jobs and winning records.

    You could always try Rugby, it was the fore-runner to football, it's very similar except no helmets, tights or padding

    Now I will punctuate my want for violence like the old days with the need to throw flags whenever these crumbs make a hard hit and then front up or stand over the recipient. That is the unsportsmanlike attitude that is dragging the game down. Make the hit, go back to your sidelines.

    BTW that was one spectacular catch by Martavis Bryant for Pittsburg. Sad to see Big Ben hurt.

    I would like to see them dial back the officiating and let them play...The hits, attitudes and trash talking have been a part of the game since the beginning...Yes you need to have rules, however if your not going to enforce them unilaterally regardless of the team/player/position involved there's no point. The No Fun League has lost its way...

    Seems like flag football to me... gone are the day of the big crashes and the total fear of catching the ball over the middle ....

    Winning = employment, ask Belichick
