    So you can potentially end a players career, or worse, from a cheap hit, but you can't slide into the end zone. Is the US Government running the NFL?

    Seem s the NFL is more worried about a slide into the end zone than they are about people potentially hurting another opponent in the forms of a blow to the head, chop blocks, and Bradshaw's punch to the facemask of the Cardinal's player. What a joke. Lacey, you got robbed!!
