We worked with a number of players to make changes in the game. “We will do everything we can to support them”. We are considering playing more games in the U.K. It’s a balancing act with our schedule. “I agree there have been changes but not enough changes that our medical personnel have changed their view”. “But I didn’t see that this week”. I talk to players all the time and they say, ‘I hope I can play forever.’ They can’t. That’s not possible. But the guys who love this game, they’re passionate about this game, and if you lose that passion, maybe it is time to move on.

Moving the game to Australia won’t necessarily help the quality of play, but it might keep players from backing out of the game.
Jeff Jones, a Boulder, Colorado resident visiting the Bay Area for the Super Bowl said, “I think that statement is talking down to the people watching football”.
Travel concerns exist for games being played in Mexico but Waller said the security concerns are no different than any other major city. But beyond the sports gaming, you have to look at what would happen after the brick and mortar of a stadium is finished and after the first tickets are sold.
“Second of all, we did a great deal of research, scientific analysis previous year that was part of the whole appeal hearing”. “When those allegations came out, we immediately began our own investigation”. “It’s one of the reasons why we’ve invested so aggressively in USA Football and our Heads Up Football program, to bring the right kind of coaching and the right kind of techniques to the game of football at all levels”.

“We will work with law enforcement if they are involved but we will also continue our own investigations and working [sic] cooperatively with everyone to make sure that we are taking this seriously, that we find out the conclusions”.
Plus, the real issue with the Pro Bowl is that there’s a lack of effort as players try at all costs to avoid injury, so the game doesn’t feel real.
If Goodell really stood by his decision to suspend Brady four games for his role in Deflategate, why wouldn’t he stand by that a year later? It had a positive impact at least in the short term, but I didn’t see that this past week. And I think players would be aware of that, that ‘Hey, I’ve got one. Goodell added that he played football nine years and if he had a son, he’d love for him to play the game. “If it does, I think that’s a realistic possibility”.
In his annual state of the league address Friday, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said the league should have a policy in which players essentially foul out of a game after two personal fouls. Although Goodell didn’t want to “speculate” on where the game might be played in the future, the NFL’s executive vice president of global, Mark Waller, had no problem doing that. Who wants to risk alienating the portion of America’s fan base that thinks using marijuana is a character flaw? “We’re going to abide by that in every which way”.
