BACK: The NFL Decided To Not Ban Smelling Salts, Teams Just Can't Provide Them So Now It's Bring Your Own To Games

There was a whole day of players, past and present, freaking out that the NFL banned smelling salts. It was reported all over the place, there was a memo! You know shit is serious in the NFL when the league sends a memo to teams. Then it happened. Common sense won. 

Bring your own smelling salts! I don't know how we got to this point but it's a fucking hilarious memo to read. We already got guys loading up. 

I need to see all the receipts, the names, everything involved in bringing your own to games. We know George Kittle is going to load up, the man admitted to doing a smelling salt every drive. We know Jim Harbaugh will load up, that man can't coach a game without smelling salts or some form of khakis around him. We know how many players need the smelling salts and it gets people fired up. It's like I said in the blog yesterday, I don't want to see my left tackle getting ready to take the field without a quick sniff. 

I'd love to hear the internal NFL discussion on this. You know there was an uproar from players to reps and then the league being like oh whoa, that's not what we meant. Let's just say everyone can bring their own, that makes way more sense. Either way, now we can start the football year. We got smelling salts back in our life. Mission accomplished all around, just took a day.
