As HTS121 stated, these types of plays were accepted and occurred on a regular basis. Now HOF players like Dick Butkus (Bears), Tommy Nobis (Falcons), Ray Nitschke (Packers), Jack Tatum (Raiders), Sam Huff (Giants) would be suspended and fined on a regular basis. That said, the "average" career of an NFL player back in the day (50's through the 70's) was 3-5 years.

Welcome to UO! Thank you....

Just registered on Urban Ohio....great site. I just wanted to chime in on the condition of AJ Green. I hope the Bengals keep him out of action for a few more weeks due to that turf toe. Let the injury heal as best as it can. Hopefully he can be fitted with some type of brace to keep the toe stable. This injury is not to taken lightly HOF Pittsburgh line backer Jack Lambert had to retire due to turf toe.
