Running interface by bringing soccer into the conversation is an old trick. I thought today's media was more informed. It only shows how the media bends the facts to take the heat off the big money. Didn't we already learn from the big money of the smoking industry. I played both sports and a soccer ball to the head, doesn't compare to a pulling guard. Don't try to hide the facts, learn and adjust to make the game safe and enjoyable.

How did this respected program get roped into such a one-sided discussion...where was the balanced reporting? Where were voices to represent the other side of this issue?? How do you staff the segment with CBS commentators who so unilaterally and irresponsibly agreed with Goodell that it was offensive to watch?

Shannon's correlation to Civil Rights was way off the mark...almost as much as Jim Nantz who felt the need to roll women's athletics under the NFL bus by implying girl's soccer is more dangerous than football. Women's athletics do not receive the media coverage, financial support, audience or respect that they deserve...so him using his media platform to misrepresent medical data that only further diminish their efforts was completely unacceptable.

I'm not an athlete, but I have a daughter...and unless I missed something...no daughters are allowed to play in the NFL. Which means they had no place in this discussion other than to deflect attention from what should have been an honest conversation about the real, long-term health issues that hundreds of non-female NFL players are enduring.

Poorly played, CBS. Poorly played.

The only major sport in America that does not test nor regulate growth hormones. The damage is real, 1100 law suites where one more has to be mentioned, the VC trust of an NFL investment firm that used arbitrage techniques to use investor money for personal benefit. If this case prevails it will set the precedent that not only will the NFL be sued, but this commissioner and their cohorts as well. Good luck to the old boy network you had on. The bell tolls, and soon these "executives" and I use the title loosely, will pay. As my wife says, pay now or pay later.

Girls soccer, really?!? What a dweeb, picking on girls, for shame.

why only whitewashers on the nfl segment? any connection to cbs having broadcast rights? sad..."bag job" was the old city room term.

A few simple rule changes to the sport of football could decrease the head injury problem.

1. Make "wrapping up" in the tackle mandatory.
2. No tackling above the shoulders.
3. No leaving the ground for tackling.

These are the simple laws of tackling in Rugby. Adopt them and you will see the head injuries decrease.

Rubberized skin with gel jackets incorporated around the protection equipment. Some problems solved.

I have never seen so much kissing up and resistance to what we know is true about some of those players that have suffered TBI's as a result of playing Football and perhaps not receiving the care they needed. Shannon trying to link it to the Civil Rights movement, Nantz trying to say Women's soccer is bad, and Mr. Goodell not even answering the question about the leagues responsibility.
