QUOTE The Atlanta Braves, who once made the postseason an annual staple, reached an agreement to acquire Chicago Cubs ace Ryan Dempster on Monday, in their bid to win a postseason round for the first time since 2001. Oh boy! Here we come!

QUOTE (third hand grace @ Jul 16 2012, 07:24 PM) My career is football (American).
I have coached NFL kids and future NFL kids, and thousands of regular kids.
I played 17 years through college, and have coached now for 17.
a few things I'd like to say...
1. The most dangerous thing a kid can do is a trampoline.
Football is risky but if someone ACTUALLY RESEARCHES "activities w/ highest rate of injury" football usually isn't even in the top 5 usually.
(How many of you let your kid skateboard/inline skate/swim/ride a bike?
go look at where these rank!)
2.At the highest levels soccer is tougher than "football" people want to give credit for,
although I (personally, my opinion and entitled to it... not gonna get into a discussion about it) think at the lower levels it helps create a culture of "softness" in boys)
3. NFL life expectancy MAY be tied to contact, but to play sports such as this one must have less regard for their body, and be willing to take higher RISK.
Do you think that they turn that off when done playing?
Many live lives full of risky behavior way before the ever enter the NFL, and many continue to do so after.
Can't blanket statement that its due to collisions.
4. Before I forget, Charles Barkley is a big mouth. He talks without thinking. So who cares what he says, he is ignorant of the game of football about as much as he is knowledgeable about the game of golf (he sucks).
5. Rugby tougher than football?
I dont have facts, but I highly doubt a rugby player can MOVE like NFL players, therefore the whole idea of FORCE = MASS x ACCELERATION must be thrown out the window.
If this doesn't convince you, then let me ask you :
WHY DON'T RUGBY PLAYERS JUMP INTO THE NFL, THE MONEY IS BETTER ISN'T IT?!
Only ones that usually do are punters (i.e. non-contact)
6. very few ever intentionally use the helmet to hurt the opponent.
There's always an idiot out there but in the NFL many of them actually are good people (the media focuses on the negative... do you believe the media's version of everything else? I hope not)
7. helmet technology is getting better quickly (now) because of better computers and awareness, but it wasnt improving as quickly as players were getting BIGGER FASTER and STRONGER
(late 1980's is when bodies started to change, at first becuase of roids, but now they honestly are almost extinct becuase of better strength and conditioning research).
You will see the most damaged brains in MY generation late 1980s - 2000, my hunch.
8. High school football will not go away. There will be a more detailed waiver that parents will sign off on. They already do now, but in the future schools will protect themselves by stating that not only could their child get injured or die, but that there could be unforseable injury and damage to the body by participating.
thanks for reading this...

QUOTE (Transcendent Pilgrim @ Jul 7 2012, 11:23 AM) QUOTE (MainMonkeyBusiness @ Jul 7 2012, 11:03 AM) Wow. American football isn't even the roughest game out there.
Rugby is way worse, if you don't believe me, watch two grown men smash into each other at full speed WITHOUT any padding.
Association football (soccer) is pretty rough too.Simply not true. I've played both pick up games of tackle football and organized tackle football and believe me you hit differently when you have pads and a helmet than you do without.

Should Greinke been ejected?

Yes, that is a good B-day wish! If our LBs can stay healthy this year it might come true.

QUOTE (blackhawkrush @ Jun 13 2012, 03:56 PM) QUOTE (Test4VitalSigns @ Jun 13 2012, 12:08 AM) I'm bummed that A-Roid tied Lou Gehrig's grand slam record (23 in career) 
And let's not forget...Washington 6 Toronto 2
Jays at 31 and 32 
Im especially bummed that he did it against Atlanta. Venters shouldnt have got out of bed that morning.
And that sheet eat grin Jeter had on his face after he did it.
Poor Mike Minor he pitched such a good 7 innings. I said the first time i saw him that he was gonna be good. Cant hit worth a heck, cant even bunt, good pitcher tho.
Where was i? Oh yeah, screw A-Rod.

Great time to start this after Atlanta's EPIC comeback last nite against Philly.
When's the last time Halladay gave up a 6 run lead?
Well I have a feeling this is goin to be a special year.
As you probally know it's goin to be Chipper's last.
But I know he'll do everything in his power to make it one to remember.
All those starting pitchers who had off season surgeries are getting their confidence back. And the rookies look like they've worked hard this off season.
They're hitting the ball hard and starting to get rid of the errors in the infield.
What I seen so far out of them is a team that has the look of a winner.
I look in their eyes. What do I see?
The eye of the tiger baby.

Really? Well wait till I sneeze during your next drive.
