Players can wear guardian caps in game now
 

Every DB in the league should be wearing this ROFL

Old men will be really mad

Tua’s career has been extended another season.

I would be too because it introduces DRAG. Meaning slower players.... **** that (HALF KIDDING)

This should be coupled with a repeal of all "blows to the head" penalties.

The ****?

I thought this was a Guardian cap?

Thread title legitimately confused me before I clicked on it.

Don Beebe and Mark Keso are set to come out of retirement

I appreciate the humor in this observation. It then occurred to me that I'm an old man, but I like that the players will have more protection. Just going off of my own personal experience--and as a statistics professor, I knew that anecdotal evidence isn't very strong--I think there are a lot of us who, as we've gotten older, are more and more in favor of changes to the rules and equipment that promote player safety. That's not just for football, either. Protecting catchers and middle infielders from aggressively sliding baserunners is also something I like, even though I grew up loving Hal McRae's style of play, like this famous incident, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIiYw53nGd0

I'm a fan. I wear one of those around the house and I've had no concussions in roughly a year.

Related: players will also be required to wear Jimmy hats off the field. Tyreek, amirite?!

You may consider covering your rump with one while remodeling.

Well..... none you remember. :)
