oh yeah? Well... I got nothing.

If anyone has 'em! Thanks. and yes, I'm abusing posting privs.

yes indeed. What make sit cooler is the inability for anyone to really understand what they see...

Well, then perhaps I should mention these things called "women".

Without getting goofy, it is net yards passing differential. Period.

There may be a holiday inn nearby that may serve all your camping electrical needs.

With all due respect to the previous advice offered... Sports photography is the most demanding form of (mainstream) photography you can choose. I get asked countless times for advice and every parent says the same thing, "I don't want anything fancy, I only want to take pictures of little Johnny at soccer/hockey." That's like asking someone for advice on inexpensive cars and adding the fact that you are "just" entering the Daytona 500. Fast moving subjects, from variable distances, with no control of lighting is the toughest combo there is. Tough is also a euphemism for expensive. There is no such thing as inexpensive sports photography. I would be wary of spending anything on that subject until you are sure what you are dealing with.

Yes and our culture changed from recognizing that the boxing heavyweight champion of the world was the single greatest title you could hold in sports to no one giving a rat's ass. All in about 15 years. That's a cultural change.

I assume you are in your 20's because that didn't happen that way. Boxing went from the greatest sport in America to nothing virtually overnight. MMA came along to fill a niche, but it did not replace boxing circa Muhammed Ali (who was once considered one of the top, if not thee top, sports figures THAT EVER LIVED.)

Just to pick on your post in a treasure trove of posts which to pick on - your response missed the point like a Kerry Collins pass. Most NFL players become NFL players because they grew up playing football. I think that will be put into MAJOR jeopardy in coming years. This is AMERICA - the home of the lawyer, the home of the class action lawsuit. As more medical attention pours in about the effects of head injuries - the little league football clubs and schools of this country will face multiple lawsuits and because of that their insurance will skyrocket. This will force the closing of programs. Couple that with a flood of information on these injuries reaching the parents and you will start to see parents directing their kids into other sports. Parents have already spoken in this thread and we as a society are only getting our shoes on with respect to this issue. Changes in equipment, techniques, or whatever else you suggested will have no affect on the lawsuits, nor the change in attitudes that the sport will face in the future. If you don't think a cultural change can bury a sport - all I have to ask you is who the world's heavyweight champ is... Boxing is a dead, fringe, irrelevant sport which used to be the king of all sports in America. It only took the time from Muhammad Ali until the exit of Mike Tyson to go from King to Jester.

This is why American football will ultimately come to end - a lot sooner than anyone thinks. Say what you want about retired NFL players suing the league, it is the death of the feeder system that will do the NFL in. When are the lawsuits against schools going to start? Does anyone think that schools are going to weather that storm? Does anyone think schools aren't going to buckle to the steady drumbeat of parents wanting to shut down the football program and forbidding their kids to play? Texas high schools can supply the entire NFL with players.

Since it is on the front page, with his name in the subject, I assume ya just didn't even bother to look.

I deleted it from my iphone. Your insult was gratuitous and uncalled for.

How depressing...

I would say not enough of the latter...

Uh, just look up a few posts? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/145478-tape-film-what-decade-are-you-guys-in/page__view__findpost__p__2455996

It's all just video man. It's just video.

No, a "film" in that definition is an artistic or industry product, which still gets its name from the plastic strip of material it was recorded on, just like "taping" a TV show.

changed. thanks for the nudge.

They also say +7 "turnover ratio". Math and technology aren't their strong suits.

I did refer to film in the subject.

I guess saying "after extensive minutes of watching YouTube, here is my analysis..." isn't as sexy as "I've watched hours of film on this prospect..."

Cause I haven't watched a "tape" since my son was into Thomas the Tank Engine 9 years ago. Reading posts by you draftniks make it sound like you are Herb Brooks in Miracle with your projector in your basement. haha
