NFL Investigating Lockout Contact Claims

No one really knows what’s going on in the world of professional football ever since the players were locked out, then the lockout was lifted, but eventually only to have the lockout put back on. It’s been a crazy off-season in which fans, players, coaches, trainers, managers, etc., don’t really have a clue as to what’s happening.

No one will probably know until the NFL and the players come to an agreement and reach a deal to put a new CBA in place. Until then we’re stuck waiting around trying to figure out what’s happening.

Low Rated Helmets Lead To Greater Risk of Concussions In NFL

The Oddsfather — Wed, 11 May 2011 14:00:00 +0000

Virginia Tech researchers conducted a study on football helmets that was led by professor Stefan Duma of biomedical engineering at Virginia Tech. The study gave helmets a 1-5 star rating and predicted concussion risk. The results that came back might scare and confuse you.

The results of the study found that 38% of players in the NFL last season decided to wear a helmet made by Riddell that was the second lowest rated helmet when it comes to reducing the risk of getting a concussion.

Potential Destinations For Randy Moss

Dave G — Tue, 10 May 2011 14:00:00 +0000

Veteran wide receiver Randy Moss is on the wrong side of 30, at 34, and his play last year showed that. Playing for the Patriots then getting traded to the Vikings and then being released by the Vikings and signing with the Titans proved that.

He wasn’t the same lethal threat he was in past seasons and his performance on the field wasn’t what it normally was like during his early Patriots career. Randy Moss used to be a game changer with deep threat skills who could score a touchdown any moment he was on the field. Teams had to put double coverage on him most downs.

NFL Teams Breaking Rules By Contacting Undrafted Players

The Oddsfather — Mon, 09 May 2011 17:33:33 +0000

On March 11, 2011, NFL players were locked out by the league. The lockout means that there is no official NFL business taking place, minus the NFL Draft that took place in April.

One of the main aspects of the lockout being put in place and still in effect as of now was the shut down of NFL free agency. The free agent season in the NFL is one the busiest times of the year in the NFL. Without veteran players being able to sell themselves to potential new teams there’s a lot of uncertainty as to what teams might look like next season, whenever next season starts, if it starts.
