Woohoo!

In September, playing for the Miami Dolphins, Tagovailoa was slammed to the ground by Bengals lineman Josh Tupou. I heard about it afterwards. It was a horrible sight. Tagovailoa lay on his back, his fingers stiff and crossed at odd angles, an apparent sign of a brain injury. The game went on. The Bengals won.
This time I was not watching, because I’d finally begun my trial separation from football. I’d been inching toward this decision for a long time. When the Bulldogs’ Lewis Cine hit Florida’s Kyle Pitts so hard in a November 2020 game that I thought one or both of them might be dead, I turned off the TV to protect our children.
Even after that, I kept watching until early 2022, when I finally saw the Bulldogs win a championship. It seemed like a good time to walk away.
You don’t see much head trauma in flag football.
Funny (in a horrible way) how if the NFL switched to that, it wouldn’t be nearly as popular.
But oh no, the violence isn’t part of the appeal, not at all!
I’m not interested in clicking through to reddit on the basis of that.
Any interest in adding an explanation of why it’s worthy of our interest?
The NFL had banned performance enhancing gene therapy
I wonder if anyone has done comparative studies of American football and rugby?
But banging the heads of Black men over and over again for the edification of whites is still aokay!
The NFL needs to fix their racist shit.
A mistake – says the man who made it.
Golaço!
If you absolutely must watch this disgrace at least do the work of our LORD and hoist the Jolly Roger and watch a pirate stream. Hi-def too.
With a VPN and proper ad block of course.
Bah, too early in the morning. It will be during my vacation and I won’t get out of the bed to watch Neymar rolling around the field.
I don’t know what times they are on but they had the corruption good sense to put it on in December so I’ll be working properly so it will probably be really easy to miss it.
Fortunately we didn’t qualify so I don’t have to suffer that either!
Some?

Foresight helped Iowa State avoid some of the increases, senior associate athletic director Chris Jorgensen said, by locking in charter flight costs months or even years ago, while rival Iowa’s football travel will increase appreciably.
Charter flights for the Hawkeyes will be 8.5% higher and charter bus costs are up 12%, associate athletic director and CFO Greg Davies told the AP.
The Nebraska training table will see food costs rise about 20% this year, from $3.2 million to $3.8 million. Nebraska athletes consume 2,200 pounds of beef each month, and Ewald said the athletic department hopes to work with vendors to find ways to get better deals for buying in greater bulk.
Arizona, like Nebraska, is trying to absorb the added costs due to inflation by tightening belts. One thing is not negotiable, van der Merwe said.
“Our philosophy is that we make sure the student-athlete experience is the priority for everything we budget and plan for,” he said, “and everything around that is curtailed in order to make sure we maintain the integrity of that priority.”
How much does their head coach get paid again?
Hear tell it’s a little over 750 hot cow carcasses per month.
