Should kids play hockey since it causes concussions and now there are questions about how the head injuries are affecting the players in terms of depression. Stay inside! Nothing is safe!<br /><br />I don't really know if Suh is a dirty player or not. He very well may be, but there are a lot of dirty players in the NFL. It doesn't stop sportswriters from just assuming the worst and running with it. <br /><br />Frazier probably should have gone for it there, but I really don't think a head coach tries to shift the blame by putting the blame on the defense. Wouldn't it be easier to shift the blame for bad coaching on a rookie quarterback who can't convert a fourth down. Frazier used to be a defensive coordinator, so defense is supposed to be his specialty. <br /><br />You are right, the Jags season is over. Why would anyone forget the Jags win over the Ravens? Especially when it was on MNF and if the Ravens miss the playoffs or the Jags don't get Andrew Luck?<br /><br />TMQ doesn't want to compare those two age groups to determine death rates. He doesn't do this because he is too lazy and because he would rather throw the implication out there without any data to support his implication.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-5070060118960976972011-10-27T17:59:40.822-04:002011-10-27T17:59:40.822-04:00No athletic contest is worth any person's life...<b>No athletic contest is worth any person's life. Do these deaths mean young people should not play football? See below. </b><br /><br />Should teens be allowed to drive cars? See below!<br /><br />Should teens be allowed to fly in planes? See below!<br /><br />Should teens be allowed to serve in the military? See below!<br /><br /><b>Dirty play by Detroit defenders not only should be drawing ejections or suspensions -- it is rapidly eroding any feel-good associated with the Lions' season.</b><br /><br />So... taunting is now "dirty play"? Listen Suh has done some questionable things, but so has <i>every</i> defensive player. LT did, Ray Lewis does, so on so forth. Right now it's a he said, she said argument about what Suh did or said.<br /><br />The only thing is that if Suh did say those things... why didn't anyone on the Falcons go after him?<br /><br /><b>Frazier knew that if he went for it on fourth down and failed, he would be blamed for the loss; </b><br /><br />While I agree that they should have gone for it (b/c it's Aaron Rodgers)... to say this is the reason he punted is absolutely the most idiotic thing I've ever read in my entire life.<br /><br /><b>The Jaguars had to win, or their season was over. </b><br /><br />The Jaguars are 2-5 and just won a game where they looked really, really bad offensively. Their season is over.<br /><br /><b>The Ravens knew they could lose, and by December, no one will even remember this game occurred.</b><br /><br />Since when did the NFL move to a BCS formula? Oh wait, they didn't and a loss to the Jaguars now is the same as a loss to the Jaguars in December. <br /><br /><b>Other, more common harm, especially accumulated damage to the brain from concussions, is a greater negative to playing, since sports-caused death is very rare but sports-caused brain harm is not.</b><br /><br />I don't get what his point is? Most things in excess are harmful. This isn't just limited to football.<br /><br /><b>Brown at age 40 from complications of diabetes, Hull at age 50 from intestinal bleeding. When former pro football players die in middle age, should this be seen as bad luck or as a sign of long-term degenerative harm from football?</b><br /><br />TMQ is functionally retarded. There's no other explanation for this.<br /><br />If TMQ really wants to be the expert he claims to be, he needs to compare the rate of deaths (as a function of age) of football players and non-football players; because lots of 40 and 50 year old individuals die even without having played organized football.richnoreply@blogger.com
