https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/07/25/sports/football/nfl-cte.html A neuropathologist has examined the brains of 111 N.F.L. players — and 110 were found to have C.T.E., the degenerative disease linked to repeated blows to the head.

The line of scrimmage for extra-point tries will stay at the 15-yard line. Offensive and defensive play callers can communicate directly with players, whether or not they’re upstairs in the coaches’ booth. All chop blocks are illegal. A player who is penalized twice in one game for certain types of unsportsmanlike conduct fouls can be ejected. One year only. The horse collar rule was expanded to include when a defender grabs the jersey at the name plate or above and pulls a runner toward the ground. The spot after a touchback is now the 25-yard line. One year only. There will now be a foul called for delay of game when a team attempts to call a timeout when it is not permitted to do so. No more 5-yard penalty for an eligible receiver illegally touching a forward pass after being out of bounds and re-establishing himself inbounds. Makes it a loss of down. No more multiple spots of enforcement for a double foul after a change of possession. I bolded what I thought were the bigger ones. The NFL is basically trying to eliminate running the ball back, and may be on the path toward eliminating kickoffs altogether.

Looks like Josh Gordon failed (barely) another drug test which places his reinstatement on hold. Also it was reported his roommate is Johnny Manziel, a big mistake on Gordons part. Sad that a guy (Gordon) with that much talent can't stay off pot. RG3 will be lucky to get out of this season alive as the Browns starting QB, he has no offensive line and no one to throw to.

I've never been to a Super Bowl but feel it is the most prestige event of all sports due to it is one event which attracts a tremendous audience. The few things that are comparable in sports like final rounds of the four golf majors, or the game seven of MLB World Series, NHL Stanley Cup, NBA finals or NCCA sports are all great spectator events in the US. The fun begins long before the game is even played with Game Day planning for parties for most, but should one ever have the opportunity to attend a Super Bowl, it most likely is a life memory. So to kick off a thread for the 50th Anniversary of Super Bowl, bring on your memory's, plans, TV commercials, news and predictions. So for starters, this should be interesting.
