Saban draws comparisons to smoking heaters and the HUNH

[WizardHawk]

Again, we are not talking about substantial increases no matter how you want to boil it down. Those who try to say there is no increased risk are flat out missing the obvious, but those trying to say rules should be put in place because of that risk are drastically overstating that impact.

Your argument that you don't like that style because of the comparison to sucker punching in boxing isn't a shock considering your team doesn't run it. Just like Mamba defending the HUNH also is a no brainer as his team runs it.

 

[cane_man]

Not exactly. It's not just a flat increase in % of chances as you are saying here. There is an exponential increase as player fatigue increases. The more fatigued a player gets, the higher the risk. This has been proven in the past because they are more likely to use poor techniques and such when they are tired.

That's what this study in hockey found out.

In-game fatigue influences concussions in nat... [Res Sports Med. 2008] - PubMed - NCBI

It also says that the arguments people are making about an increase in games was not a significant factor - although I would have to agree with your assessment that more exposure = more risk, just not a higher risk. What this study is mostly talking about is fatigue later in individual games, which is obviously reset when a new game is played.

"A player's total ice time for the season was not a significant predictor, however, and there was no significant difference found in the number of games played in the season between those who suffered a concussion and those who did not. These data suggest that in-game fatigue is an important factor when considering concussions."

I wonder what sabans thoughts on ironman football are?

Does anybody consider ironman football "REAL" football?

This is deflection and how most every post goes. Alabama fan makes a serious on subject post and gets nothing but a big joke back. We then get accused of deflecting and playing the victim card. Not picking on you Cane-man because it's the majority of posters on these type threads. It just so happens to occur so quickly after Romeo's brilliant assumption! Oops, did I just play the victim card again or tell the truth? So damn hard to tell the difference with y'all!

Um no. Sorry, but again that's just not how it works.

This really isn't rocket science. No, really it isn't.

If running ANY play gives you some amount of risk of injury, then adding more plays increases that risk. That is absolute truth. PERIOD.

What you are confusing is how to asses that risk. And you are also adding factors not related.

Sure, the style also has influence. Of course it does. But there is NO offense you run that reduces your risk of injury to zero. Therefore running anything and doing more of it adds injury potential. However I don't believe it adds much as the risk of injury per play isn't that great to begin with and we are talking about adding 10-15 plays per game more at best. It is still there and it requires a total lapse of reason to say otherwise.

The only room for discussion is how many more injuries per year are we potentially talking about and does that increased risk mean something should be done about it. My take is the risk is minimal and no, nothing should be done about it. You have have a different take. However you can't have a different take on having some added risk.

So right!! Ignore Charlie and his pseudo attempt at intellect. Most all injuries are ankles or knees or shoulders and occur on freak plays. You increase the number of plays you are going to increase the number of these injuries! Seriously, depending on the play run?

You mean does Nick Saban think he can put 11 defensive people on the line against one of your best teams and still kick your ass while daring your Heisman winning QB to throw the ball?

Probably.

Nick Saban: "We're just going to show up at the BCS title game anyway" - SportsPickle | SportsPickle.

Alabama has accepted a bid to play in the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma on January 2nd, but head coach Nick Saban announced today that the Crimson Tide will also show up on January 6th at the BCS championship game “unless someone thinks they can stop us.”“Congrats to Florida State on being undefeated, but I mean come on,” said Saban, smirking. “Who have they played? Of course, I respect their opportunity to play in the BCS title game and play they will, as long as they can get on the field through the tunnels which will be blocked by Alabama linemen. I guess we’ll see who’s on the field at kickoff.”Alabama won the last two BCS championships and missed out on another undefeated season by a single score when Auburn ran back a missed field goal attempt as time expired in the final game of the season.“No intelligent person thinks we shouldn’t still have an opportunity to defend our national titles because of one fluke play in one game,” said Saban to the assembled press. “Does anyone intelligent think that here? Show of hands. Who here is a moron? I thought so. No one thinks that. Now, am I willing to be gracious here and give Florida State an opportunity to play? I sure am. I just hope my boys can put up more of a fight than … Duke? Duke was it? They have a football team? Wow. Those shit conferences are full of amazing trivia.”Florida State head coach Jimbo Fisher says his team fully expects to take the field and compete in the BCS title game against Auburn.“So Nick plans to make us get past his linemen to play in the game?” said Fisher. “The same guys who were on the field for that game-ending field goal return against Auburn? Yeah, I think we’ll be okay. They looked pretty easy to get past.”

You gotta find satire links to poke fun at Alabama.

You just gotta look at last years results to poke fun at Miami.

Not as much as it seems to hurt you when it's tossed back.

Your team can't even buy a national championship you suck so bad.

There are about 5 posters on these boards that are sooo obsessed with Alabama it borders on a mental illness. I would list them but they know who they are and it is obvious to others! Notice I didn't say hate Alabama or jealous of Alabama. Didn't want to get accused of using the hate card or the victim card!

Well why do so many like you get your panties in a wad when Alabama fans do it? Chill dude! it's just "called intentional passive-aggressiveness with a twist of humor." I think I heard that somewhere recently! Get some humor... It just so happened it came right after Romeo accused me of deflecting all the time. Nice coincidence. Well, not really, one doesn't have to look far for your boys double standards! :rollseyes:
