NFP Sunday Blitz - Dan Pompei: A radical idea discussed to make the NFL safer; going from the CFL to the NFL; and all the latest chatter.
NFL propaganda ignores concussion science - Patrick Hruby: The NFL's ad about player safety is like the league's approach to brain trauma. Dishonest. Conflicted. At odds with reality. And even now, more concerned with the health and well-being of the sport than the health and well-being of the people who play it.
Gregg Williams just part of NFL's problem - Jen Floyd Engel: The NFL's reinstatement of Gregg Williams was the right thing to do because the problem is bigger than one man.

Rams interview Mike Singletary for DC - Larry Hartstein: Jeff Fisher and Mike Singletary were Bears teammates in the early 1980s. Will they be reunited in St. Louis? (No word on whether he had to drop his trousers as part of the interview. - Den)
13 storylines to follow in 2013 - Ian Rapoport includes Tebowmania among them. A pity he's unlikely to remain with the Jets; that train wreck was quite entertaining to follow.
There's really only one theme suitable for this week.
