The league is dealing with an image and a PR nightmare.  You have guys like Bo Jackson saying they wish they would have never played.  You must be out front with the idea that things are changing.

We're actually kinda on the same page.....except that Talib has gouged eyes, twisted people's heads on purpose, etc.  He has the same history, but he plays on a jersey seller.

I get the rest of what you're saying, and you're right, but this particular play is a non story in my opinion.  I've been hit far worse in a high school game.
