I highly doubt that they would do anything to drastically affect the game to the point where it would lose its popularity. I don't know much about boxing, but I don't think it has change that much and look where it stands in terms of popularity.

I hope you're right, Ruhskins. But the league has steadily gotten safer and safer and eventually it might be too safe. I hope the NFL never degrades far enough that injuries are completely gone. That might sound a bit cynical, but there should always be an element of danger involved in football, in my opinion. Football players playing through injury have provided some of the most inspiring moments in sports.

6. If you could choose one offensive player, one defensive player, and one special team player to build a long-term team around, who would they be?

What about this question? Who would you all choose?
