  1. Look, if you don't like listening to advertisements at 130db, then you're not a true football fan and should probably get back to shitting yourself at an old folks home
  2. someone get this guy an intervention
  3. nevermind the banners. I think a large group of us wearing the below will send CDC a message that he can't miss. *cool yellow shirt and word belt optional
  4. how many times are they going to ask him this question?
  5. No kidding. Did he just forget about Reggie McNeal or what?
  6. Taking a $1,200 monthly hit come 10/1.
  7. ever heard of the multiverse Einstein
  8. Yeah, haha, no kidding. But go ahead and explain it to him so we don't leave him hanging
  9. LHN available everywhere with DTV trial, or limited to Texas?
  10. Agreed. Who said that?
  11. Who among us doesn't wish this classic moment would have been played on turf so Ricky could have been covered in bits of minced tire.
  12. LOL what? The two airports are 25 miles away from each other. I'm thinking its more like 8-10 minutes.
  13. 14 teams use turf. 14 use natural grass. 2 use some weird hybrid. FWIW, European soccer is pretty much exclusively grass and they balk at the prospect of their players having to play on field turf. This summer, UNC was forced to truck in pallets of sod to cover their turf field for an exhibition between Chelsea and Wrexham because the two UK clubs refused to play on the artificial surface. The point being, the issue of safety predates Rogers's injury. Also, here's a link to an essay by the NFLPA President from April, 2023 where he discusses the issue. This also is prior to the Rogers injury. https://nflpa.com/posts/nfl-approach-field-surface-uneven
  14. Depends on whether the owner can convince the local gov't to make the taxpayers pay for it.
  15. Sounds like your issue is more with the conclusion that grass is safer. FWIW, the NFLPA is basing that on the number of injuries over a 10 year period. Feel free to take a look at the numbers. You're a smart poster, so I know you're not trying to say that because there were numerous injuries on a grass field, the conclusion that grass is safer is incorrect.
  16. This all makes sense, but what about the many NFL and NCAA stadiums that already use grass? About half of all NFL stadiums have natural grass. Don't they all have to deal with the same issues that you're describing?
  17. Other than a true dome, how is not feasible? Yes, the injuries are occurring because its a contact sport. Does not mean it cannot be made safer.
  18. My bad. Didn't know this case met the elements of a willy-nilly transfer.
