Now he looks a little like you!

You beat me to the joke by that much! Shucks.

 

[MarioSpeedWagon]

He looks terrible.

Hearts are for pussy? I would have gone with pussies.

Delayed response to things a few pages back: DS, gotta love Pittsburgh Dad. It's also hilarious that Tomlin seemingly watches his stuff. Basement pop...hahah. Kills me because it's true. Also Five Guys is freaking awesome. Just a good burger. Not THE GoodBurger, but a good burger...if you know what I mean.

Lets just go with someone getting a mild injury, of which they can quickly return, but also allows me to run on the field.

Bahaha, we have it. It's just a cooling/numbing spray. The only thing we use it for is prior to injections when our team doc is in. It's so pointless...but, if a player suddenly feels better and gets out of your hair? Go for it.

just heard this Jim McMahon interview Dan Patrick interview about what head injuries have done to him and Patrick asked him if he let his kids to play football and McMahon interupted him before he could finish and said he told his kids they couldnt play football ... "I told them to play baseball ... and hockey"

He didn't sound good at all during that interview jstew (as in not quite all there). His girlfriend has to write things down for him to remind him what he needs to do that day (if he feels like getting out of bed, that is).

Football will always, and has always, have (had) the most concussions. No matter what position you play, you're at an extreme risk for getting hit. Lineman? Constant subconcussive forces add up to concussions and microtrauma. Any player on defense? Well, they don't know how to hit, so they likely lead with their head. WR/RB? Get tackled constantly. Basically the QB has the best chance of being concussion free, but even they get laid out. Hockey? Well, anyone can get crushed, but you're not taking as many hits. I think it's safer in that regard. Not saying it's safe, no contact sport is without some danger, but it's safer. This year Indiana completely changed their HS concussion laws, and I like a lot of what they did. Kids realize the dangers and are reporting symptoms regularly. If a kid loses their helmet in a game they have to come out, encouraging appropriate helmet wearing habits. If a kid is symptomatic they're automatically referred to a specially trained MD for ImPACT testing and given complete physical rest, and occasionally academic rest. In order to return to play there's a four day progressive exertion testing. Day one is light, so jog about a mile. Day two you jog a mile and do a few sprints. Day three you run a mile and a half, run some sprints, run some stairs, push ups. Day four you get your butt whooped and go hard. It's encouraging to see that stuff.

not sure if its been touched on. but CFL legend Matt Dunnigan said many times his kids will NEVER play football for those issues.

It's good to hear Gary Thorne on tv again calling Orioles homers against the Yanks...Tied again with the 'Evil Empire' for the division lead.

The thought of Baltimore passing the Yankees positively makes my skin drool.
