Well, you have to admit it's sort of like putting a band-aid on a sucking chest wound.
In other words, not nearly enough.
The NFL is taking an image-beating this offseason, mainly from the arrest of former Patriot tight end Aaron Hernandez for first-degree murder.
The NFL's response?
Commissioner Roger Goodell is considering a rule to bar college players who are academically ineligible to the league's scouting combine.
That'll stop the murdering hoodlums and make them hit the books!
Yes, I'm mocking the proposal, but actually I feel a little sympathy for Goodell in this case. What can you do about thugs in the league, other than weed them out when they get around to thuggish behavior?
Not much. Still, there are some things the NFL can do to improve its image, and since it's July and the slow season, let's take a look at some of them.
