NFL looking to make quick buck

By Jeff

The NFL wants you to think they are concerned about hits to head. That's why they fined James Harrison, Brandon Meriweather and Dunta Robinson yesterday, right?

Wrong.

While telling everyone that they are concerned about player safety, the NFL is actually trying to make make money from the same brutal hits they are condemning. I'm not talking about the fines themselves. Those actually go to charity. I'm talking about the NFL selling photos of the Harrison hit on Mohamed Massaquoi.

That's right. For $16 to $250 you can order a picture of Harrison destroying Massaquoi. Does that seem a little hypocritical to anyone else? How can the NFL preach safety, but then profit by showcasing hits they are trying to eliminate in the game. Seems counter productive.
