Let The Boys Sniff - George Kittle Crashed An NFL Network Show To Announce He 'Considered Retirement Because The NFL Banned Smelling Salts Today'

What the hell is this? We're talking about FOOTBALL and you want to ban smelling salts? Good luck keeping it away from the true guys of the league

It's a staple of the game! I know people will scream it's for the health of the players. Uh, we're talking about the NFL here. If they cared about the health of the players we wouldn't have games in the middle of the week. You can't just do that AND take away smelling salts. The only way you know the boys are ready to go is when you see a key player rip a smelling salt (or a coach, that works too). 

I do have to admit, this is exactly how I assume George Kittle will retire. The moment they took away his smelling salts, he was ready to just take a couple beers and watch some wrestling. It won't be due to injuries or age or anything, you make George stop sniffing smelling salts and he's ready to hang it up. I'm not even doubting the fact he considered retirement or the fact he claims he uses them every drive. That's what makes George Kittle one of the best tight ends of this era. 

I am excited for week 1 when we see guys sneaking these in the corner. Gonna have to get creative with it, make sure someone is in front of you, hide them in something. You don't just take away smelling salts from NFL players. What happened to the game we love?
