My Comments on Helmet Hits in Pro Football

I watched the NFL on CBS today. And the Cleveland Browns totally annihilated the Boston Patriots. And then there was the Philadelphia Dog Killers beating the Colts.

I noticed that there were penalties called for hitting quarterbacks in the head -- 15 yards and an automatic first down -- whether intentional or not. That seems to be in line with the crackdown on helmet-to-helmet hits, about which I wrote a post a few weeks ago.

So, what is the story with players on the same team smashing their helmets together after someone makes a good play?

Why doesn't the NFL ban this?
