But the NFL have already proved that they are willing to protect the skirt wearers, and would just bring the fines for headhunting.

I have no problem with legitimate penalties being assessed. But if someone wants to play it up... well, then maybe somebody needs to send a message. Pay the fines. Put the fear of injury into the players who might try to ham it up - you think Brady stops whining if, after whining to the refs, a big DT hits him hard, late?

Yes, penalties will be assessed. Yes, fines will come. You tell Brady to man up, and let the REFS decide what's a penalty and what isn't - and if you lose a game because of it, so be it. You send a message, one that clearly the NFL isn't interested in sending.

I realize it's easy to play hard-ass from my office chair, though. Singletary and Ryan are the only coaches who might have the cojones to do this. And they'd probably aim for a punter first.
