Answer I seem to remember that a few years ago, several prominant NFL quarterbacks were forced into retirement by reoccuring concussions or other head trama. Steve Young and Troy Aikman, two multiple time Super Bowl champions and future hall of famers spring readily to mind. The league, not wanting to see any more of its storybook heros, brought down early employed a number of new regulations intended to protect quarterbacks.

The one you see mentioned most on Sunday afternoons today is the baring of defensive players leading with their helmets. More specifically, a defensive player cannot hit a quarterback primarily with his helmet. By limiting the jarring head to head collisions that the quarterback has to endure over the course of the game, the NFL has thus attempted to keep potential legends on the field long enough to solidify their status The rule has been extended not only to quarter-backs as of 2011.

Leading a tackle with your helmet is a serious penalty There is also another penalty called Roughing, which is hitting the quarter-back long after he releases the ball, results in a 15 yard penalty.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
