Filed under: Eagles, NFL Hall of Fame
The football carnage was worse than usual this past weekend. A college player was paralyzed and a couple of NFL players came close.
Do you feel the least bit responsible?
Don't worry, it will pass.
We long ago accepted broken necks as collateral damage. Regrettable, but what are you going to do, ban football?
Nobody wants that, not even most of the players who now spend their lives in wheelchairs. So we'll send our thoughts and prayers out to Eric LeGrand and demand the NFL tweak its head-hunting rules. Then we'll slide right back into our fantasy leagues or debating whether the BCS is worse than the Taliban.
That's all right. I'm not here to trigger any guilt trips for loving football. But since we won't stop the madness, we should at least do a better job of owning up to it.
