They should have been doing so for a long time now. I will take $30Million to get in the ring with Tyson, knowing I'll probably talk funny for the rest of my life, but I will still willingly do it. I SHOULD NOT be allowed to come back after spending all my money and try to sue for more. I know the dangers
As President of our local Youth Football Organization, I'd say we are more prepared than you'd think. We have medical professionals, each team has a Dr. and/or certified EMT, ALL of our staff is first aid trained. We all attend concussion awareness/recognition seminars, and have top of the line equipment. I just received quotes for the helmet impact monitoring system that records intensity of impact FOR OUR PEE WEE AND MIDGETS. Although I don't think it's developed enough to be a proven safeguard so I'm not on board with it yet.
But with that being said, the sport has it's possibilities of danger (as does ALL sports) and if a player and/or parent aren't comfortable with that, then they need to play soccer. We don't want the player who is too timid or the parent who is too worried/protective. The kid who is afraid to get injured always seems to be the one who does.

Wisconsin Attitude
One day, a very gentle and elderly Wisconsin
lady was driving across the high bridge in Green Bay.
As she neared the top of the bridge, she
noticed a young man ready to jump.
She stopped her car, rolled down the window
and said, "Please don't jump! Think of your dear
mother and father."
He replied, "My mom is dead; Don’t know
who my dad was……. I'm going to jump."
She said, "Well, think of your sweet wife and
precious children."
He replied, "I'm not married, and I don't have any
kids."
She said, "Well, then you just remember Vince
Lombardi, the Green Bay Packers and the Wisconsin
Badgers.
He replied, ''Why ? I am a Chicago Bear and
Fighting Illini fan. "
She replied, ‘’Well, bless your heart! - You
just go ahead and jump you little *******... You're
holding up traffic !”

Yes good to see that football is gearing up again. Always get pumped for the season start.
I'm probably going to create both a pick 'em league and a survivor league if anyone is interested. Probably just for bragging rights but I suppose those interested could do like a $5 or $10 buy-in or whatever.

I'd be interested in either league.
Just heard the quote last night that prompted Manschmell to flip off the Washington bench. "You're not in college anymore, and these people are faster than you are."
I love it. I also love the fact that now that he's playing, they are actually comparing his actual abilities to other NFL quarterbacks. They noted that he's smaller and slower than RG3, and that even RG3 can't run like he thought he was going to be able to. They then rambled off a slew of other quarterbacks that were comparable in speed, but were bigger and stronger than him, and none of them were particularly successful runners in the NFL.
I'm hoping that after the first few games of the season, he either fades into oblivion as a Brady Quinn-esque backup, or gets put in for the hell of it (since they're the Browns), and is demolished by the D line in front of him.

It was announced this morning that he will be the back-up once the season starts. That makes me happy.

Pack lost their starting nose tackle Raji. Other than that I thought they looked really good. Lacy is a machine...

yeah when i heard that this morning I said the same thing...he's done or at the very least his salary will be dropping in the future.
I remember hearing about lots of injuries too. Maybe the guys are hurting themselves more trying to play in accordance with the stupid new rules that are suppose to prevent injuries.

The team that knocked from the playoffs enroute to not one but two superbowl runs.
maybe these will help refresh the memory...
