Or to at least just keep playing normally and if he gets it he gets it.  If not so be it 

Kneeling during the anthem gets you permanently ejected for endangering people's feelings, so there’s that...

This is so typically Boston teams’ shittiness. What the hell does it cost the Red Sox to let the guy get his 200? Dicks.

“We are very concerned about player safety”

All I had heard was that Minor was trying to get the milestone, the dropped pop-up, and saw Abraham’s tweet and Minor’s response. So at first, I was kinda like, “Eh, that’s kinda lame of the Rangers.”

Now after reading all of this, and hearing the blatant lengths the Red Sox went through just to deny a guy a milestone…

“...right after a word from our sponsors.”

Bitch ass play, should be an instant fine. Absolutely nothing to gain by hitting him like that except for hurting him. What else would he be thinking, trying to stop his backward progress?

If a helmet-to-helmet tackle after the whistle won’t get you ejected for endangering player safety, nothing will.

Announcer: “We’ll show you another helmet-to-helmet hit by the Eagles... when we come back.”

What the hell is Barnett even doing? Why is he diving head long at a guy stood up to knock him up field. The play is dumb and compounded by this egregious head shot.

100%. This is the sort of stuff that has sapped my enjoyment of the sport. Late hit, head to head on a defenseless opponent which results in an effectively meaningless penalty. 

For people who say this stuff is “unavoidable” in football, show them this play. His forward progress is stopped, he’s going nowhere, and Barnett just flies in and smacks him from behind

Moved to Wisconsin a few years ago. Start with the Packers ownership.

Bears fan here. Go ahead with the Packers ownership.

Ideally all the owners would be guillotined, with the possible exception of packers' ownership, so I don't think that's quite right.

I know your question was mostly rhetorical, but I actually expected Belichick would have been the anti-Brown voice. Not because of any particular moral virtue but because I expected his calculus would boil down to, “I’m a great coach who can win with anybody and I believe that the distraction caused by Brown would…

“So far it hasn’t affect the Patriots’ on-field performance; the team’s 3-0 and looks formidable without Brown anyway.”

I think even Satan thought it was a bit much

This is, ideally, how an owner/coach relationship should work right?

Is there a single person out there that is surprised that Belichick wanted to keep Brown? Even one?
