Wow, Wake is news to me.

I think I'd rather he sit out, hamstrings can linger all season, same with Jones.

lol, look @ the Jags injury report.

Injury Report

Jaguars

Probable: S Josh Evans (illness), WR Rashad Greene (back), WR Marqise Lee (hamstring)

Questionable: LB Thurston Armbrister (back), OT Luke Joeckel (ankle)

Doubtful: RB Toby Gerhart (abdominal), S Johnathan Cyprien (finger/calf)

OUT: DE Andre Branch (knee), DT Sen'Derrick Marks (knee), CB Dwayne Gratz (ankle), TE Julius Thomas (hand)

Wow what happened last week? lol

 

[Dega]

I don't think I would let my kids play football.

Wouldn't be any good anyway.

 

[Kave_Man]

Hopefully the Browns select Josh McCown to start Sunday.

JFF looked alright but I have slightly more faith in McCown despite getting himself knocked out.

McCown hasn't been cleared from the concussion protocol so it's going to be Manziel.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

For sure. DL is plenty deep enough anyway and at least Michael Thomas has some decent game experience. Can't take chances with Reshad, he is way too valuable to this team.

I really hope the defense looks better this week.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Sorry, the conclusions being drawn from the study specifically related to the act of playing football as a whole are bad.

And 131 people with a rare disease with a known cause, that share the same profession that exposes them to this known cause, seems strong enough to reach that conclusion already.

But I mean... we already knew that. It may be what the ongoing story is about, but it's not what the specific study was about.

 

[Dega]

"Now that you'll have to wait until Sunday to find out!" OB on if JJ Watt could be the 3rd TE

So when us Gronk lining up at DE?

He's not good enough.

Poor Gata. Only connects with his smack talk about once every 983 times. But god bless his little window lickin' heart, he keeps putting himself out there. Keep trying lil buddy.

I don't want to say too many mean things to a bills fan.

 

[SliceSabre]

McCown hasn't been cleared from the concussion protocol so it's going to be Manziel.

Ahh. Oh well.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

I thought they wore those cloth helmet things. But yeah, that's why I want to get rid of helmets.

Ah, those are more to prevent cauliflower ear and little cuts and scrapes. Don't think they provide much protection from concussions.

 

[squicken]

JFF! Fuck the Titans!

We don't know the condition is rare. We know it is rarely diagnosed, because we can't diagnose it til after death.

Right, but there was a question about them getting caught and causing neck injuries.

Brother!

Titans are gonna crap all over the Bucs lol

Bucs are so terrible it hurts.

$50 Bagel Sandwich at Metlife. Meant to be share

"Jumbo Jet Breakfast Bagel" features "a triple patty or half pound of Taylor Ham, a 1-pound Spicy Chorizo patty, and a 1-pound Breakfast Sausage patty, topped with four fried eggs, four slices of American cheese, and potato hash."

We don't know the condition is rare. We know it is rarely diagnosed, because we can't diagnose it til after death.

Unless somebody played organized football, in which case we can diagnose it among the living at somewhere around a 79% success rate.

Definitive? Hell no. But data is a good thing to have.

Yes, something called "When Pigs Fly" at Primanti Brothers.

The “When Pigs Fly” sandwich is loaded up with turkey, ham and bacon and piled high with fries, cheese, lettuce, tomato, slaw and a fried egg.

Hmmm. Come to think of it, that's not a burger either. Sandwich was awesome though!

How?

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

Right, but there was a question about them getting caught and causing neck injuries.

I had an image of helmets like the current designs with a goofy looking softer padding on the outside when talking about increased friction and neck injury.

I'm not a rugby fan but I haven't heard anything about scrum caps being dangerous.

Football needs to move in that direction eventually, be interesting to see how line play evolves. Lighter, more athletic guys with more emphasis on technique.

 

[Elfforkusu]

How?

However they selected the players for this study.

The "selection bias" is equivalent to attempted diagnosis.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

[eznark]

They didn't. The players selected themselves because they thought they had head injuries.

The only thing this tells us is that former NFL players are pretty good at self-diagnosing CTE. That's why the study is flawed if you are trying to use it to make general claims.

 

[Elfforkusu]

How can they diagnose it among the living?

In this case, it's educated self-diagnosis. Brain damage symptoms. So memory loss, mood swings, etc. The control is whatever somebody remembers "normal" as.

 

[Himynameischris]

I've had this (Among others), so good. (Not my pic)

 

[eznark]

How can they diagnose it among the living?

Currently can't. BU is pouring a bunch of money into it supposedly.

Eggs on burgers or even sandwiches in general are amazing.

He said the Giants CBs are much more physical at the line, which is true. Fucking Carroll and Maxwell need to get up in the face of the WR, not give them a 10 yard cushion and let them run by.

They play the Browns...Lol

Damn, Jak.

Phrased that way, that's a remarkable fact. If only all diseases were so easy to self-diagnose!

Re: general claims. None of this is proof. But it's very strong circumstantial evidence. It will be years before we have a study that proves a higher cte incidence rate among football players than in the general population.

But i'd be willing to bet a large sum of money that that's true, based on what we know. Definitive proof isn't required here.

Currently can't. BU is pouring a bunch of money into it supposedly.

I want to say... Stanford as well? Somebody on the west coast, IIRC.

If 100 NFL players thought they had a herpes and participated in a study of how likely it is to have herpes in the NFL, we'd have similar results.

The predisposition of the test subjects makes it completely useless in trying to draw larger conclusions, even as circumstantial evidence.

Let me go to a Trump rally and poll the people who they are voting for for president and write a killer article about how Trump is polling at 95%.

Went to lunch with my wife. Had a full burrito, spicy fries and Nachos.
