No matter what any of us think, football will cease to exist if we don't clean up high hits. Moms, not doctors, will decide their beloveds will not be allowed to play. I think the game is safer today but I also think additional safeguards are coming in future years.

I've officiated baseball in the past, but not football.
I'd certainly say I have a higher than average rules knowledge of football, but not to the level of someone who officiates the sport.
