Fuck all this pussy bullshit. Return kickoffs back to how they were 10+ years ago. Safety be damned...

Sarcasm? Either way, I agree. This safety crap is stupid. For the tens of millions these guys get paid, they should be at risk of life and limb and brain. If they don't want to take the risk, they can get a regular job.
My suggestion for the onside kick thing is give the desperate kicking team a chance for one play, maybe 1st and 25 from their own 25. If they get the 25 yards, they keep the ball. If the defenders stop them, then the defenders get the ball in plus territory. Otherwise, the kicking team just kicks it the old fashioned way.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
If you're getting paid tens of millions, or even ones of millions, the only time you're on the field for a kickoff is the once-per-season Crucial Onsides Hands Team, at most. I doubt half of the guys on either side of the kickoff league-wide (okay, not counting the kickers) will get vested for a pension.

I believe in God, family, Baylor University, and the Green Bay Packers.
The only reason not to make safety changes seems to be that certain fans put their need to see big hits above the safety of the people playing the game.
I'm fine with them tweaking the game to reduce serious injuries. I'll still watch and support the Packers and can suppress my selfish need to see lots of big hits.
