Urlacher on fines: It's a dictatorship

Hard to play the game hard when you have to be afraid of being fined for it but head to head hits have to be stopped by whatever means necessary.

Yes, Brian, it is a dictatorship. What's your point?

If only you could take a guy who make millions every year and show him what his life would be like if he made $5.15 per hour doing some menial task, I'll bet whining of this sort would cease.

So many players lose grip on reality. Not all...but a lot! Shut up and play! DAMN!

ALL HAIL, GOODELL!!!

While I agree wholeheartedly with your sentiment, I must point out that The Commish is not a lawyer. He has a degree in economics. His father, though, was a United States senator.

If he doesn't get off his butt and deal with the CBA situation for next season, though, I'd like to see some head-to-head between Urlacher and Goodell. Urlacher gets to wear his helmet.

Goodell is a p.o.s. Unfortunately he is the boss until the owners say otherwise. We don't all like our boss but you still gotta do what they say. Urlacher and his other whiney friends need to ****!

I know this is off topic, but did anyone hear the comments Matt Millen made last night about Rod Marinelli during the broadcast? I puked in my mouth as a Lions fan....not that it doesn't happen on most Sunday's anyway.

interesting, as there are also players calling for fines - for example, hines ward basically calling for the league to fine james sanders for the hit he took last week vs the pats...play the game.

Consider the source. If Millen had football acumen, it would have showed by now. Arguable the worst GM and judge of talent in the history of the NFL. Certainly a finalist.

Shut up and play ... and learn how to tackle. But mainly shut up and play.

Did anyone else notice how early they were blowing the whistle last night? Seems like they are trying to curb the violence by cutting short the plays before they were actually over.

He actually called him one of the best coaches in the league!!!!!! And when the other announcer said "he was with you in Detroit"....they immediately switched topics.

This pansie always has com[plaints...

Yes! I noticed that too. There was one play where the whistle was blown before an incomplete pass hit the ground. I wondered whether or not the sound was somehow out of synch with the video.

Millen spent the Marinelli years drafting recievers. Hard to build a defense out of 5 wide recievers.

I agree, it would not like the game be turned into Touch football.
