Heard a lot of crazy things recently. This might be the craziest, aid the Akron Beacon Journal:

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has put a priority on looking for ways to reduce concussions among players, and the three-point stance could one day become extinct as a result.

During his tour of eight training camps in six days, Goodell, along with Hall of Fame coach and broadcasting legend John Madden, visited the Browns’ headquarters Thursday afternoon. In a news conference, Goodell addressed the idea that the three-point stance might one day be prohibited for offensive and defensive linemen because it promotes helmet-to-helmet collisions.

”Coach Madden and I were talking about that a lot on the tour, and we’ve talked about it a lot in the past,” Goodell said. ”And it’s one of the areas that we’ll continue to look at. But it’s also interesting [because] we were talking about it in the context of the current game. You’re seeing a lot of that right now. There’s a lot less three-point stance because of the offensive formations and systems that teams are employing. I think we’ll continue to evaluate that, but I think it is a trend that’s changing already in our game.”

You know, this 3-point nexus with concussions might come as news to Dan Morgan who spent his entire career in a 2-point stance and still managed to knock himself silly with regularity. And by all means Commish, jump right to eliminating a signature aspect of your sport before even talking about mandating mouthpieces for all incoming NFL players. This is what the NHL did to get every player in a helmet. Mouthpieces would not be a concussion cure-all, but they would surely help.

Where is the players’ association on this? Where is the league office?
