The NFL is on a road to turning into the NBA. The NFL has always prided itself on teams, but now they are really touting the individual. (I find this highly amusing, seeing how they have taken so many steps to prevent the players from "individualizing" themselves with dances, celebrations, etc) Its getting to the point where certain individuals are above the rules, and are "more equal" than the rest of the players in the league. See, Manning, Brady, etc. They are the Jordan of the NFL now, where if anyone gets in their way of making a play, a flag is going to get tossed.
