Yup because every highschool has 3 stock car racing teams. And kids go to the park and race Toyota Camry's. These aren't similar. Would you let you 14 year old jump in a car with a restricter plate that tops it off at 150 and in the passenger seat is a guy holding his leg to the floor. It's ok there is a cage. I would however let my hs kid play football. I don't think the ge moves fast enough to create the issues we see in the NCAA or NFL This^^^^^^ Also I foresee state regulations at some point. Ie no organized football at Massachusetts public schools unti jr year or no organized football in the state until x age. The economics of the game at an early age will dwindle. Insurance companies stop insuring schools. A few generations go by and boom. No more nfl Again I would let my kid play ball. I am also a really Aerbobic athlete so soccer running and other fitness sports are my interest. I assume my kids will eventually be similar.

Go to wrestling head gear. Eliminate the shoulder pads. Substitute something like the under armor you wear under hockey pads. Watch the injuries dissipate. I agree it may not be in my generation but my great grand kids most likely won't see the nfl. It will be sad but it is the reality of the situation

Good he was maybe the worst corner on the team

Mike Mularkey comments re third round pick
Mango replied to Peter's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is beyond an abridged version. He said that some things happened earlier in the draft that changed their board a bit. They had been eyeing Angerer, and liked him a lot. They had traded away their 4th earlier, and weren't sure if he would still be there by the time they picked in the 5th. So voila, you have the pick. They also tried ardently to get out of their pick in the 3rd and find another one, or get their 4th back, but couldn't, they where running out of time. Mularky mention he really got his start in the league and made a career at being a special teams coach. It is something he won't put by the wayside, and is making it his point to make the special teams in JAX one of the premier units in the league. They need to win field position given the large question mark at QB. -
nfl radio on sirius is pretty solid

RD 1, Pick #10: DB Stephon Gilmore - South Carolina
Mango replied to SDS's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There are up to 5 db's on the field every play. So Williams and Gilmore fill 2 of those spots. The ultimate goal is to keep Florence off. -
Patriots Enternaining Trade Offers.....
Mango replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
My first thought is they possibly like a qb in this draft. They may package their 2 1sts and just be looking to get a return from mallet as well as that pick back. Do they like tannehill? Also they could hope Miami bites. Just pushing them further into the basement -
NFL Sunday Ticket cost reduced by 40%
Mango replied to \GoBillsInDallas/'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It is because of the 14 Thursday night games. Sunday ticket is Sunday ges only. No prime time. When I lived out of town I didnt have nfl network an still couldn't see the games. I was furious. Sunday loses 14 games now. -
Strength of Schedule = No Excuses
Mango replied to DallasBillsFan1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Under estimating the rams and Denver with Peyton. Those 2 games go either way. Suddenly we are at 8-8 -
He'll draw double coverage, making the rest of the receiving corp pro bowlers and lee a first ballot hofer

I think that eventually kickers will start to adapt and it becomes more dangerous. Kickers learn to boot the ball 10 yards higher and 5 yards shorter. Basically rendering the returner a sitting duck.

Claiborne gets a 4 in the wonderlic
Mango replied to richNjoisy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Non athlete students all over the country graduate hs and college without being able to read. It is the nature of the American scholastic system to push everybody through. It is sad but not lsu or athlete specific -
The bills have almost always been right around the league average for spending. Generally 12th to 16th or so. Our highest year was 3rd circa 2003. Our cheapest was something like 23. We are right where we normally are

TOTB: FJax for Kalil - Cleve, Minn and Buff
Mango replied to RichardBag's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Hey man I got 2 1sts and a 2nd for him in madden. Traded fitz for a 2nd too. I got 2 awesome pass rushers and a shut down corner. Picked up a sleeper qb in the 4th. Just throug 6k yards. Buddy must be asleep at the wheel A qualm boldin? Really? He doesn't belong in that group -
I think about it regularly when I hear anything about the skins. We are in a much better place than they are in dc
-
I would seriously consider this if Trent Edwards was still our starting qb
-
you must have gotten that from all the scat back references, then the spiller pick. or maybe it was the oogling over dareus, miller, and newton last year that made you think that nix is not upfront about what his plans are. buddy is more than forth coming, if he says, it will be a tackle at 10, which he hasnt, if the tackle he wants is there, it will be. i dont get this

Sean Payton asks Bill Parcells to serve as interim HC
Mango replied to Punch's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
what if he wants out? do you shop him? my point is predicated on that, and only substantiated on the fact they can't actually afford him. -
Sean Payton asks Bill Parcells to serve as interim HC
Mango replied to Punch's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
they cant afford to sign him to the contract he wants. is it better to play with brees this year with an interim hc, half a gm, and a suspended assistant hc. this is assuming that brees wants to stay with the organization. i would be willing to bet he does not want to stay given the issues, finding a new hc, and new gm. whats your solution? -
Sean Payton asks Bill Parcells to serve as interim HC
Mango replied to Punch's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
if i where the saints i would shop around brees. they don't have the money to exited/resign him anyways, hence the tag. you could grab at least 3 firsts and a 2nd, if the market sets carson palmer at 2 firsts and change, then brees is worth at least 3 and change. i find a new gm. let that gm find a new hc. new orleans is an attractive destination with 2 first round picks for the next 3 years. of course wait until next offseason to see what is available, no reason to be hasty. take this year and take your lumps. you can easily rebuild with that many picks. in fact if i am buffalo i would send 3 firsts there way and help the process -
7th rounders are like gold to buffalo. time to grab a star
-
buddy is generally pretty straight forward about what he does with the draft. i hate reading about smoke screens. they don't exist at least not with the regime. we have all known the pick before the draft the last 2 years. with that, i have no idea who will be available at 10 and i am not sure i like much of anybody at that spot. the front office has been quite thus far. who knows. i do know they will not trade up. i bet tannehill to the browns weeded to the fins
-
i assumed that the delay in the presser was to wait for Ralph to fly in. not seeing him there after a couple hour delay was concerning

Still would rather have TO

Is Schobel considering coming out of retirement?
Mango replied to NishP's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm assuming since he is a Houston guy he will go there he wants to stay home
