The NFL has grown increasingly concerned with the types of collisions it witnessed Monday night, when the Broncos and Chargers played and umpire Butch Hannah got hit by San Diego safety Steve Gregory. In a Week 2 game umpire Garth DeFelice was knocked down four times in one game.” Instead of a helmet, Ed Hochuli has announced plans to wear half-eaten bear flesh on his head. [ESPN]
