Ok, admittedly, calling it “The Fight to Save Kickoffs” may be a bit on the dramatic side. But you really never know what the NFL will do to this game we love in the name of “player safety”, which is in “air quotes” because “player safety” is “NFL-speak” for “please stop talking about head injuries, we’ll do anything” and a “token we-care-a-lot move”.
(shout out to the late, great Chris Farley. You were the best, man)
Interestingly enough, you’ve probably never heard a single player say that they’re in favor of eliminating the kickoff. Weird, right?
