    NFL is prohibiting....

    ...non-standard, customized facemasks...

    WTF???

    So I guess that means Blount will have to turn his mask into the
    authorities, before he gets himself arrested by Rog-God.

    Its too unbelievable, I can't freaking believe it!!!

    Does the NFL have nothing better to do??

    I mean, this has to be the dumbest crap I've ever heard of!!!

    I'm actually cool with it.

    The equipment should be as level of a playing field as possible. Unless it's some medical condition. But I would allow very few exceptions.

        It's stupid to outlaw facemasks...

        Yet another rule created against the Steelers...
        Actually, my post was NOT about you...but, if the shoe fits, feel free to lace that &!+€# up and wear it.

            First it's customized face masks, then it's torturing puppies, next thing you know players will be shanking other players in the showers. I must congratulate Goodell on being proactive to stop this horrific practice.

              Both society and the sportsworld would be much better served to have less rules and laws on the books.

                Not true, people need government and powers that be to show them right from wrong, to micromanage their lives, and to tax them firmly (because they know better how to spend your money than you do).

                  Yes, thank God for Da Gubmint and Da Goodell.

                    The torturing puppies thing came before the custom facemask thing...

                    Steeler teams featuring stat-driven, me-first, fantasy-football-darling diva types such as Antonio Brown & Le'Veon Bell won no championships.

                    Super Bowl winning Steeler teams were built around a dynamic, in-your-face defense plus blue-collar, hard-hitting, no-nonsense football players on offense such as Hines Ward & Jerome Bettis.

                    We don't want Juju & Conner to replace what we lost in Brown & Bell.

                    We are counting on Juju & Conner to return us to the glory we once had with Hines & The Bus.

                      I know the kneejerk is blaming Goddell for the end of Western Civilization, conflict in Iraq and the rise of the Islamic State, global warming, and everything else wrong; BUT before everyone gets all spun up, doesn't it really depend on what the definition of "...non-standard, customized facemasks..." is? Anyone seen that definition?

                      I can fully understand why the NFL would do this. How long do you think it will be before players figure out the can get a facemask that has their number or initials as part of the grill design. I bet the NFL found out that some company was trying to market this and is proactive in stopping it.

                          Theres no reason to have a bird cage as your facemask except to look more intimidating. This isnt the XFL
