Snarky Professor with Buffalo Sauce, yummmmAnd I'm sure you gather with family and friends to watch cliff diving each weekend. What's on the menu this week?
Well, if you believe that, then I've got a bridge to sell you. :wink:Enjoy the game while we can, folks. It won't last that much longer.

And no polymer in their uniforms..... strictly wood stock...uh uniforms....Perhaps the government should step in and regulate football players. For example, a linebacker couldn't be more than 6' tall, weight more than 190 lbs and incapable of running the 40 in under 5.5 seconds. And there's no reason in the world an offensive tackle should weigh more than 225 pounds.....:rolleye2:
Well, those that want this game to go away need to consider this. As football goes away, so do the Katherine Webbs of the world.
If I remember correctly, aren't you a proponent of stricter safety rules in football, etc.?Enjoy the game while we can, folks. It won't last that much longer.

Frank "Big Hurt" Thomas...whatsup dawg!!?? I thought you were a barn fan? You switching to the good side?I would be curious to see how the results compare to rugby. Collisions in American football are so much more violent in my opinion because:
1. We have padding and helmets;
2. The players are much larger due to the short (stop/go) nature of plays. Thus, players gain incredible mass, that would be lost from a sport requiring more cardio. Basically, what I mean is that rugby players are still big, but not like American football players because they have to run the entire match which requires more oxygen. Muscles require more oxygen when under stress, so players wouldn't last as long.
Those costs are outweighed by the income brought into schools by football. It might cut into profits, but it will remain profitable, IMO.If you dont think the future of football is in jeopardy you are very wrong. Youth football leagues and high school programs are already feeling the pinch by the higher cost of obtaining liability insurance from insurance companies. Its becoming more and more expensive to insure the civic and school programs. Insurance companies are going to dictate the future of tackle football in this country. And if the NFL players win this lawsuit.......

He didn't say they had to be real....Cue the linebacker girlfriend jokes. 3..2..1..
