The problem is the risk weren't unknown to the league. Common sense would also dictate that a company educate their employees about potential dangers of the job, and do what they can to mitigate those dangers. The NFL did neither.

I'm on the Elba/007 bandwagon as well. Even if it's just once, it would be fantastic. He's the coolest actor the UK has to offer right now. Only seems right.

At issue is a measly $82,000

I think I've seen this particular affliction before...

Guns don't kill people, dogs who WON'T SHUT THE FUCK UP AND GET OUT OF MY FUCKING HEAD kill people.

You can't play tackle football without concussions, in the US Canada or anywhere else.

I don't have an issue with what Dolphin25 is doing, I guess I just don't see why anyone who actually wants to watch the matches would seek him out. You'd have to be more interested in his performance than that of the guys actually wrestling.

No, Money down!

This isn't even about them being paid to play. This about them getting paid for licensing deals. If you want to make the case that the scholarship is, in essence, a salary, I can buy that. But if you're saying that the scholarship is also a stand-in for the money they'd get from EA, Gatorade or Nike, that's when I…

A Xenia Onatopp reference AND a Fuck Dan Snyder. Good work outta you, Ace.

I think someone has looked into and found that the odds are about even. But I too am too lazy to actually do the research. So let's just call it a draw and hope Mr. Griffin stays upright.

I'm sure that knowing that he'd retained that right was of great comfort to Tom Brady as Bernard Pollard was shredding his knee.

How fucked up is it that the football elders have somehow convinced everyone that in a game where the primary objective of half the guys on the field is to grind the guy with ball into paste, that the safest thing for the guy who touches the pall the most is to stand in one spot?

Cam had a higher passer rating and more rushing yards in his 2nd year. So as a Skins fan, I hope RG has the same kind of "slump".

Actually, Wall-E supposedly takes place after Cars and Cars 2. The cars have already died off.

The dual flop...a rare treat. Although all this old man talk about how past generations would NEVER stoop to such depth as to flop...give me a break. Guys have been selling fouls for as long as refs have been calling them.

Suns were never going to win that series. Keep in mind, that even without Amare, they were up 12 in the 4th in game 5, and still lost the game. Then when Amare came back for Game 6. They were blown out. It wasn't going to happen for them, regardless of how many times people say it was.

Seems a little odd to spill all this ink over Tyson and not even hint at what a mess his trial was.

That was some Khal Drogo shit right there.

That was great, wasn't it? Just a perfect little window into the way this kid's mind works. Even on his way to the pokey, he still has no clue.
