Can We Really Support a League Which Has Caused so Much Harm to Its Players? Steve Fainaru and Mark Fainaru-Wada, working together with the Frontline folks and other journalists, told the story of an NFL that spent almost two decades stonewalling, blackballing and bullying everyone who looked into the connection between football and brain injuries. From broken-hearted widows and teary-eyed children to doctors and scientists at the very peak of their professions, the NFL shunned and belittled them all. The players and their families were pushed aside and silenced by NFL leadership. The league smeared the doctors and scientists working to understand the truth, publicly trying to discredit their work. Bonus story: Tax Exempt NFL?

I thought this was done well.

BJ uses this as his twitter photo. Wonder if Yankees fans will be mad?

Does this help with making a selection?

Good thing they have the game audio in the stadium bathroom.

Ooooohh, I see what you did there, very clever.

Here is some video of it. You will find it at the very least, slightly interesting. You can watch all of it here. CBS on LOD Wiki on Chronic traumatic encephalopathy

This was posted in the 2013 Tailgaiting Beer thread. Probably deserves it's own thread though, since the beer thread is specifically about beer. There are a few comments in the beer thread you can read if you like though. I like that they included 8 photos in the article.

Thank you! I didn't want to be the first to point that out. I think of that clown at browns games barking like Arsenio Hall when I hear that name. I'm not as worried as some of you guys about the loss of Zeke. Numerous times over the years when Zeke was in foul trouble and wasn't on the floor, the team did fine defensively. My concerns with KD, has always been, and continues to be, offense.

The Zips’ defense dealt with a severe loss against Ohio when defensive end C.J. James, who leads the team with six tackles for loss, didn’t play because of an NCAA eligibility issue. At issue is credits, Bowden said. “He’s practicing but it’s an eligibility issue that came up,” he said. “It’s not in our offices; it’s in the administrative offices. They’re talking to people and trying to figure out what the situation is. They’re trying to be cautious source

100% of ZN believes the Zips will get beat by more than 22!?! Not a good sign for future 2013 attendance at the Info!?! They have GOT to beat Miami if they hope to get anybody at the Ball State game on the 26th.

From GT's article linked on the first page of this thread: Dambrot sounds confident the Zips will be able to make up for the loss of Marshall’s productivity. ‘‘We went four years where we had a guy in the middle who could shot block,” he said. “Before that we’ve always been good defensively and we didn’t have that kind of size. We have good size still.” It sounds as if freshman Isaiah Johnson, a 6-foot-10 center from Cincinnati, is making an impression. “I think Pat Forsythe can do a lot of things Zeke did,” Dambrot said. “I think Big Dog [Johnson] can do a lot of things offensively and maybe even better in some ways. He can score the ball around the rim and he can pass it.”

Feel free to make a specific prediction below, or discuss the game. This guy picks the Huskies to cover, but warns their defense has looked vulnerable.

He is already on level 28 on the new Grand Theft Auto.

Not unknown. Bowden comment from Dec 12."He and I shared much of the play calling duty this past year and I will continue to work closely with the offense." Maybe I can email Belichick's old guy, I'll try to listen in to their conversation during the game and let you guys know exactly what's going on.

Right. Young guys get experience during practice. That's what its for. They will play when they are ready. I wouldn't mind seeing Hirschman.......celebrate some TDs.

I agree. I do the same at home. I took a fall camping trip this weekend in the Allegheny mountains with friends. There happens to be this podunk bar/restaurant near. I took an hour out of weekend and watched the game there for a spell. Gist being, as long as you have your iPhone, you can pretty much watch the Zips anywhere. Now the Zips need to make it worth it.

Read some stats on GoZips this morning, and thought, even though it hasn't showed up in the only stat that matters, wins and losses, both lines (offensive/defensive) should be encouraged by improvement. Stats are for losers: • UA has not allowed a sack in three-straight games (five this season). That ties as the 21st fewest nationally. • UA has lost just one fumble this season, tied for fourth nationally. Only four teams have not lost a fumble. • The Zips have recorded 15 sacks, 16 all of last year. UA's 3.0 spg average is tied for 17th nationally. • UA's 7.6 tackles-for-loss per game ranks first in the MAC and 18th in the country. Hoping to dominate the trenches tomorrow! No final score would surprise me tomorrow...odd.

Winning the Lou Henson Award would surely help your argument. Tree is on the list, along with your buddy Javon. The Lou Henson Award is presented annually to the top Mid-Major player in Division I college basketball. The award is named in honor of Lou Henson who retired after a spectacular coaching career that lasted 41 years.

When coach arrived at Akron, he stated that he didn't like a QB to run the ball because the QB was in charge of getting the play to his teammates at the line, and he couldn't do that under a pile of defenders. He has since softened on that stance. There are now a few quotes of him supporting that the QB should run when given the opportunity. IMO on the goal line, you don't always need a big full back type to pound the ball in. Sometimes you just need a guy that runs low. I think George is suggesting Grice run the ball at the goal line. I would suggest he lead blocks for Hundley.

Chase started over veteran Jon Beason against the Giants, in part because of Blackburn’s knowledge of his former team. Produced Week 3 shut out with two tackles I know a team w/o a win this year who could have used Chase from day one as a starter. Here is the trade Big Zip refers to.

Didn't seem worth a new thread. The Suburbanite writes about C.J. James and Nordly Capi. By Andy Harris
