See, that's just it. No they aren't. If the research is now just starting to put together the long terms risks of head injuries, no player can know exactly what kind of risk they're taking.

So the article says that they were assigned their historical figure. So doesn't the teacher have to take some of the blame here? What kid isn't going to think about the makeup right away in this scenario?

How would the footage be found anyway? Wouldn't the witch go after the person who finds the camera too?

60% of the time his movies work every time.

Steven Tyler, a woman in a wheel chair, and me in an elevator. I bet that's exactly what he had in mind when he wrote the song. I just hope they don't decide to make a new video.

Thank god for the fixes in the new CBA. Everyone's now on a level playing field in terms of getting guys in for the entire camp. Why did it take this long?

He was just talking, not singing.

Steven Tyler wished me a Merry Christmas in an elevator once.

But then the story would go away! Wait, didn't this story go away already? And speaking of the distance, did they ever even say where Martin was shot? I don't remember seeing anything about that at any point.

It makes you think about any team that wound up with back to back elite QBs. San Francisco is the first that comes to my mind.

Did he do the stupid voices back then too? That has to be his biggest downfall, the stupid voices and the ridiculously stupid characters he plays. I can watch a few of his movies like Happy Gilmore, The Wedding Singer, and Big Daddy. He's playing relatively normal people in those movies, with normal of course being relative to the rest of his career (yes, Happy Gilmore is normal compared to playing the devil, a retarded southerner, or his own twin sister). If he just stayed away from so many characters maybe people would have a higher opinion of him. Then again, the need to play all of those types probably says a lot about his talent level (its low).

Wasn't he feeling the best he's ever felt last year too? I feel like I saw that exact same quote at some point.

I heard a story yesterday that mentioned three times where this little "stumble" happened. He's definitely putting on a show.

I'm having a hard time caring about this one. I just don't expect this one to help or hurt us one bit.

There's going to be change, but like you said, there are enough aspects to this game that it can continue to thrive after those changes. I do think the NFL could very easily fall off of its pedestal though because of all of this. The talent dilution is a very strong possibility, but none of us will live to see it. We're talking about a 50-100+ year thing. There are other sports like boxing which I don't know how they can survive this. Its popularity is already way down and with more concussion issues coming to light, there's going to be very little justification for going that route. All I know is that if I'm the completely unrealistic parent who thinks my kid is going to make it as a pro athlete, I'd much rather it be baseball or golf. Low risk AND the atmosphere would be great. Follow my kid around on a beautiful golf course during great weather? Sign me up.

That was fast. I guess it does pay to get cut at the right time of the year.

A friend of mine went to BC and got married 2 years ago. His party was full of people who went to BC and BU, so his plan was to bounce around from bar to bar, all of the places we went while we were in college. That was a good time, if for nothing else than all the old stories coming to mind, especially the questionable way he wound up meeting his wife.

Inject concrete into the skull to encase the brain. There, the brain cannot move anymore, no more concussions. Sure, you'll die, but you won't get a concussion.

It's going to be like that for every league. The big money cities drive every league. Bills fans are quite the die hard group. Would success in Buffalo enhance the league in any way? No, it wouldn't. It's only victories by the NYs, Bostons, and LAs of the world that wind up drawing more eyes.

We're definitely standing at the edge, very close to a point where there are going to be broad changes across professional sports. Some will eventually die but I don't think it will be the NFL. They're going to figure out what they need to change.

Personally, I don't think any fan or city deserves anything. That kind of thought just leads to the annoying elitist attitudes that are so widespread among hockey fans. A hockey fan in Buffalo, a hockey fan in Winnipeg, a hockey fan in Carolina... they're all the same.

I don't buy into this idea of fans deserving championships, but what exactly qualifies as suffering for fans? For those people down there who truly do follow that team, they've now had to deal with the possibility of losing their team on a yearly basis. If that's not suffering, I don't know what is.

Battleship is the studio playing it safe? That was the time I have ever seen an entire theater audience collectively laugh at a trailer for a non-comedy movie.

Are they all fans of ridiculous run on sentences too?

Isn't Castle a pretty successful show right now? They'd have a hard time doing Firefly without the main character.
