    Makes me wonder what happened to Abel. And yeah, even before the extent of CTE was known, there was a general idea that players who played a game where they got hit in the head repeatedly over 20-30 years (from childhood-high school) might go on to have brain issues. Sort of like how it would make sense that inhaling smoke is probably bad for your lungs. Then again, if AstroTurf kept the original name of ChemGrass, the association between it and brain cancer would’ve probably been publicized far sooner.

    You're right, this is a very serious topic. But, sometimes we can all use a bit of levity.

    Here's another story involving George Brett's ass.

    All good. Considering what a world-class A-hole George Brett is, I wish it was him sometimes.

    Aside from George Brett being very much still alive and making a drunken ass of himself in every restaurant here, I've always wondered about why so many players from the multipurpose era wound up getting brain cancer. Considering how much AstroTurf proliferated, there's too high of an incidence to be a coincidence.

    I’d say DC is the exception to the rule, but that would mean that I’d have to consider the Commies an NFL organization and I’m having a very hard time doing that.

    Off the top of my head, I found this interesting: Since Andy Reid became the head coach of the Eagles in 1999 and then head coach of the Chiefs in 2013, when the two teams played each other, the team with Andy Reid as head coach is unbeaten. A month late with that bit of info but, :censored: it, better late than never.

    I guess we don't see it because we don't have careers that rely on finding the hidden gem in the pile of sheisse and thus proving how good you are at finding talent whether it's for ESPN or some other hot take factory like Bleacher Report or SBNation.

    Considering that these leagues are basically creations of the TV networks to fill programming slots? They'll last as long as they want it to last. These leagues should really be treated more like TV shows than previous spring leagues.

    What a wuss.

    BYU is joining the Big XII on July 1st of this year. It took at least a decade to convince them to join a conference period, I doubt they're going to just up and jump to the Pac 12 without a bunch of money the Pac-12 doesn't have.

    Listen. Lava may be bad and hot now, but it’ll make great soil down the line. Ergo, if we want more farmland to grow more food, we should increase the supply of lava across the lands of this country. And if you want to make America Great, we need food security first and foremost!

    Not McCall but I am a Missourian. I’m proud to be where I’m from and you can take your condescending compassion and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

    It's a good way to relate to the fans considering half of them have stretch marks already. And that's just the men.

    I’m more surprised Dom Capers is alive because I remember him as the old man who coached the Panthers and that was 25 years ago. Apparently he was the coach when he was in his late 40s-early 50s and 72 now. Guy must age like milk.

    There's also the whole "most people who even had Internet in 2001 were using dialup so streaming was something out of scifi" so thus TV was far more dominant and having an average audience of 1-2 5-6 million would be a death sentence. For the current media environment? 1-2 million on average is pretty good for football that isn't college or the NFL.

    Interesting bit of trivia: The Ottawa Rough Riders and the Saskatchewan Roughriders met in the Grey Cup in 1951, 1966, 1969 (nice) and 1976. As for the XFL? All I can say is enjoy it while it lasts, however long that may be.

    Gambling can certainly help but another factor is that there are people straight up addicted to football and they’ll take any fix they can get.
  21. Red Comet
    The raison d’etre of these leagues basically being filler for the NFL is pretty funny to me.
  22. Red Comet
    I know the Commies are a :censored:hole organization. It’s more “I hope” he succeeds and Dan Snyder sells the team.
  23. Red Comet
    Good for him. He really ought to be a head coach but getting out of Andy Reid’s orbit shadow will do wonders for his career: Assuming he succeeds.
  24. Red Comet
    As much as I hated that play the Eagles ran because it was so effective, I agree, it was funny as hell to watch. The game needs more fun IMNSHO.

      The most unbelievable part about all of that is that someone of his girth could wait 3 hours for a cupcake.
