Miami Dolphins linebacker Channing Crowder says the only way of preventing helmet-to-helmet hits is to eliminate the helmet.

Otherwise he's going to use his, regardless of punishment from league officials.

"If I get a chance to knock somebody out, I'm going to knock them out and take what they give me," Crowder said Wednesday. "They give me a helmet, I'm going to use it."


I'd be happy if he just made a TACKLE instead of running the gums.  when will he learn?

This is the dumb-ass idiot who thought "London" was a country. Where did he go to college?

Idiot.

first, I think it's been established that his "london" comment was a joke--a pretty funny one, too. If you hear him speak he actually sounds pretty intelligent.
that said, what an idiot! now if he commits a helmet to helmet violation, he WILL get suspended----I am sure intent to do the hit is the determining factor, and he's just admitted to it.
still....the next big hit I see him make will be the first.

don't you have to actually be on the field in order to make hits??

Crowder actually one of the smarter dolphins. Funny dude! All knees and elbows he roughs people up. Stuffs run real good. Always hurt though time for him to go. Never worth that contract, kinda like Smiley buying attitude but they broke down!

He put a bullseye on him now for no reason other than his own stupidity!!

If he is one of the smarter ones, the shallow end must have single digit IQs.

Figures. Is anyone worth a damn that comes from UF?

I thought everyone realised his worth when he was out? He may not make the game changing plays too often but he is a very solid LB. 

Having some first hand knowledge with Crowder I can also say he is not dumb by any means although he plays that card to get laughs. He likes to be the funny guy and is well received by those around him.

The NFL's all-time leading rusher, just off the top of my head...

I disagree.  He is a fast thinker and although he says a bunch of crazy stuff it is really just his sense of humor.  The guy really is pretty smart from what I have been able to observe.

yes ... its easy for you booger eaters to bash on crowder from behind your keyboard. He is the one putting his ass on the line receiving hits on almost every play that would cripple most of you. there are less injuries in rugby & there are no helmets. His point is take it off and u think twice about delivering that big hit.

He is also getting paid MILLIONS of dollars to do so. Don't play the sympathy card
