Posts: 1861 May 2, 2012 4:12 PM	Remove this ad The spin on twitter is very interesting......everyone blaming concussions and saying "something needs to be done"......I have asked a few media experts what exactly "should be done" other than ending football, and haven't gotten too many responses. I will add the concussion issue could be a factor but like MT pointed out, he could have just been a total fuck up addicted to pills and booze and likely going broke. Regardless, RIP - always liked him Your Text Signature ...

Between the double lightning strike (while getting CPR no less) and the plane crash into the everglades I would be looking to get my picture photoshopped out of the 1994 San Diego team picture faster than Jared Uthoff at the basketball banquet.

Regardless, RIP - always liked him Another rare agreement with Saint Bucky. The NFL should have a form that all players sign. "Football is a violent sport that can lead to serious injuries. In exchange for playing, you will be paid millions of dollars and receive a generous pension. If you're not OK with this deal, we have other jobs available in our concessions stands, parking and ushering areas. You may have your choice of any of these jobs at the going rate of your co-workers. You are free to choose whichever position you want." 150% of players would choose football. Your Text Signature ...

The average player is lucky to make it 4 years. What if you don't play long enough for the pension? Crippling depression, suicidal thoughts, addiction, dementia are not serious injuries.

Yes, but it has been ten years since I really have drove a boat.

Might not be crippling.. but after the failed suicide attempt I might be crippled and have no other choices but continue to work at Arby's.

Think of all those roast beef & cheddar sandwiches you could eat though! As to the NFL...at some point in the future, perhaps many, many years, pro football will be looked at the same way we currently look at gladiator battles in ancient Rome.

Boxing is what came to my mind right away. It was once a much more popular sport than it is now and once a college sport that Wisconsin dominated for some period of time. I don't know that we'll see football go away but I could see where it's not played as widely and much like boxing now, mostly low income people will be participating.

I've been wondering this too. The price of physical toll on football is growing. I don't side with guys who have been paid well to play who knew the risks like a Mark Chmura who has entered the lawsuit. But old guys I've met, like Dave Casper or former Packer DE Mike McCoy who haven't been treated well by the NFL.....I think they have a leg to stand on. Did football kill Junior Seau? I have no idea how anyone could jump on that wagon. I've been getting into Rugby a lot in the last several years. I don't see how Rugby could ever be like football is in the US. But I feel my interest growing there. Not replacing anything in football, but it's growing. Your Text Signature ...

Posts: 16992 May 2, 2012 9:57 PM Buckyville's Fiscal Cliff	A lot of the personal encounter stories I've been hearing on the radio today suggest to me that Junior may have been bipolar. Almost too happy, too gregarious, sprinkled with a few horror stories. MT - would this jibe with what you've heard from more direct sources?

Except that ETR's argument is, "Please go work at Arby's or shut the fuck up." Nothing about him being amused.

I wouldn't care if my 20 favorite Packers all quit. Someone would be willing to replace them. Part of the reason you get paid a lot is compensation for the great chance of injury.
