Our defense was great this year.
what we need is to give all of our players flu shots before the frickin playoffs.
then we can draft linebackers and DBs that are immune to influenza and we are all set.
Thanks and be sure to tip your waitress.

Is Polian - Steinbrenner a good thing? From my point of view George Steinbrenner ruined the Baseball. Polian will probably not ruin football, but sooner or later with his situational rule changes there will be a backlash.
At least Steinbrenner didn't need to change any rules. His spending was unethical but it was accepted by the owners because of revenue sharing. Polian needed to change the rules to better fit his team's style of play.
But I do agree that Polian - Steinbrenner isn't a good thing.
I think this is the first time that I've heard of a person being a Colts and Yanks fan.

As for rule changes, other than insisting the league enforce their own contact rules for coverage guys, what rule did Polian actually change?

Maybe the guy just hates the city of Boston, who knows.
For the record: Steinbrenner's spending is only unethical because he was willing to do it and nobody else did. If Boston matches them dollar for dollar, it's ethical, in the Boston fan's mind. So it strikes me that, no common set of mores pertaining, Steinbrenner's spending is just competitive, not unethical. And competitiveness always looks unfair from the vantage point of the weaker competitor. I'm sure there were all sorts of "labor advocates" who complained when Patriots players signed for less than top dollar in the past. That's more unethical, from a labor point of view, because it undercuts the union's attempt to put more revenue in players' pockets. If players willingly adopted this style across the league, the cap system would be stymied. Of course, the real-life labor result is a team that spends to the cap, and spreads around money to the middle class of players, not just to the super rich. So it turned out to be one model a team could pursue, not an unethical aberration. The same is true for Steinbrenner, although in baseball it is just a matter of competition without a cap constraint. Want to beat the Yankees? Keep pace with his spending.
