Troy Polamalu is ticked off that the NFL has fined Hines Ward for two plays that were not penalized. Polamalu went off on the NFL, and so did former NFL Player Mark Schlereth.
I agree with Polamalu and Schlereth. Dick Butkus, Ronnie Lott, Jack Tatum, and other great defensive players of that era would not be able to survive in this game because of the bubble that the Quarterback has around him. You can't hit them after they've released the ball. You can't touch Wide Recievers after five yards.
I also agree that The NFL only cares about you as long as you are making money. After you retire, they don't care. It's a shame. Mike Ditka knows all about this. Ditka said this on behalf of John Mackey, Jerry Kramer, Joe DeLamielleure, and others who have severe injuries from playing football.
The NFL should start taking better care of their players, current and retired. It's a shame that they aren't.
