          The Anthony Barr hit on Aaron Rodgers that broke his collarbone last year will be a penalty this year. Call it the "Green Bay Packers QB is a *****" rule.

              In a briefing with reporters on new NFL rules and points of emphasis for the 2018 season, referee Pete Morelli said the hit Barr delivered to Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers last Oct. 15 — which broke Rodgers’ right collarbone and caused him to miss nine games last season — would now be a penalty, under Rule 12, Article 9 of the NFL’s rule book that prevents defenders from landing on a quarterback with all or most of their body weight while the quarterback is in a defenseless position.

                That's ****ing stupid. How would any sack from the blindside not violate that rule?

                  You better not land on him. That'll be 15 yards.

                    IDK, they're pretending to care about safety (for the star players obviously).

                    I think it's better than nothing in the sense that fans pay big money to see the star players and if they can avoid unnecessary hits and injuries it's a good thing. The same is true in the NHL, though they don't even pretend to care about their star players with their weak suspensions and zero deterrence of bad behavior. The NFL's model isn't ideal but I'll take it over the NHL's.

                      What was Barr supposed to do there - hug him? It wasn't an unnecessary hit even if it was an unfortunate resultt.

                        In Barr's case it reminded me of some of the hits you see in hockey where you "finish your check" despite the fact that the puck is gone and the hit doesn't really serve any purpose. That said I get that the game is played fast and it was a pretty bang bang play. In terms of NFL hits it wasn't particularly egregious and I doubt there was any intent to injure.

                        IDK, we heard a ton of pushback when the made rules against leading with your head, hitting defenseless receivers, some of the rules that already existed IRT hits on QB's etc. I think this is just a continuation of those rules.

                          It wasn’t egregious at all. It was a soft hit by nfl standards.

                            Agreed, I just think the NFL is in a tough spot trying to make a very unsafe sport slightly less unsafe and keep Star players on the field (though there’s about a million other things they could do like shortening the schedule and not having Thursday games etc. so it’s very hypocritical).

                              With how many times Rodgers has managed to scramble or spin and pitch the thing off for a first down against the Vikings, I don't blame Barr for not taking any chances.
                              the state of hockey is good

                                I’d dump everything but Sunday games, double or triple the byes, and cut the games by four.
