It's not an improvement--the data says so. yes that was the next sentence. I left it out because it does not change the fact of the first 2 paragraphs. These things do nothing to decrease head injury. These are machine tests. All they could show was that, in one experiment, if one helmet with and one without are made to hit eachother, the one with has 9% less impact severity. There is no data at all suggesting this has any impact on head injuries for football players. Players have loudly spoken---they don't see these things as effective (they are literally a thin pad strapped to their helmets) in protecting them. And to this point, they are right. The NFL is happy to say they are "doing something" about this issue and this company is happy to supply them with enough pseudo data to make it all seem like "the right thing to do". If this was a medical device, it would never get FDA approval simply for the near complete lack of demonstrable efficacy.

The data so far is garbage. these things are a fig leaf for the NFL. Perfect product to pretend that they are interested in mitigating injury. These things do not do that. "Although the National Football League reported a 50% reduction in concussion incidence during the 2022 preseason following the mandate for particular position groups to wear the Guardian Cap for team practices [13], most evidence supporting the utility of Guardian Cap was yielded from laboratory-based investigations [14,15]. The Guardian Cap reduced head impact severity during a helmet-drop test at only 2 of 6 helmet locations at high speed (5.47 m/s), and no reductions were observed following low (3.46 m/s) and medium (4.89 m/s) drop speeds across all helmet locations [15]." "Based on our preliminary findings, protective soft-shell padding did not reduce head linear or rotational accelerations among a subset of college football players. Additionally, gameplay characteristics fundamental to offensive linemen, defensive linemen, and tight ends did not affect peak linear and rotational acceleration between those with and without soft-shell padding." NFL should not be promoting these as risk reduction devices because as of yet, there is no data to support this sales pitch.

the Chiefs aren't a come from behind team? Mahomes is 6th among active starters in 4th Q comebacks (far fewer seasons than anyone ahead of him).

Cowboys Set to Interview Leslie Frazier for HC role
Mr. WEO replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Sanders will do anything it takes to get this job. No one's hiring Frazier. Moore was just fired by Jerry 2 years ago. -
Bills sign former Ravens QB Brown to practice squad
Mr. WEO replied to GASabresIUFan's topic in The Stadium Wall
No one needs to get hurt playing scout QB--why would that suddenly be a concern? McD and his DC should be more familiar than a guy who last worked out with that Offense 16 months ago---if not the Bills are sunk Sunday. They are going to tell Brown what play to run (based on what they already know about Jackson's game) and then pretend the D doesn't know what's coming? -

all this was clear. having him run around pretending he's Lamar for the next day or so won't add much, I would imagine. -

lol that rag wants $35 a month to read lol anyway, I can't imagine this guy will be of much value game planning at this point. 2 practices. Not sure, if he was that good, why they didn't keep him on the PS this year. -
Broncos weren't much of a challenge...

It can't have come as a surprise to Reid that his son got drunk at work. Yes, addiction is horrible, so bad that sometimes families have to make the incredibly awful decision, after doing all they can, to walk away. This guy just checked out though----putting his career before his kids well being. Since Mahomes fell into his lap (making him an Offensive Genius), he's never looked back.

next you know, he will be selling blue ice out of Andy"s living room.

the guy said to google the lyrics because they are so great for this lol That's secret footage from the Pegula Family Lifestyle Support retreat after Hochul caved on Terry's weak threat to move the team..

And it's all in my head, but she's touching his "[Pre-Chorus] Chest now He takes off her dress now Let me go And I just can't look, it's killing me They're taking control [Chorus] Jealousy Turning saints into the sea Swimming through sick lullabies Choking on your alibi But it's just the price I pay Destiny is calling me Open up my eager eyes 'Cause I'm Mr. Brightside" These are the most unlikely lyrics that anyone could conceive of to motivate an NFL roster in-game. Makes little sense.
