Saints | Lance Briggs not a fan of Jonathan Vilma suspension

Mon, 07 May 2012 05:21:27 -0700

Chicago Bears LB Lance Briggs called the season-long ban of New Orleans Saints LB Jonathan Vilma "a bunch of B.S.," and doesn't believe the league can improve player safety on the field. "Player safety is best taken care of by providing health insurance for players' lives," Briggs said. "Come on. It's like asking a boxer: 'Are your injuries related to taking blows to the head?' We throw our bodies around. It's physical. It's football. You can't stop the violence from happening."
