Toddlers on steroids. There goes the pree-kindergarten football league.
The NFL needs weight limits for linemen. The need to be bigger and stronger has resulted in massive steroid users like Incognito. Great football teams like the old Packers, Giants, Bears and others played very well with 250 pound linemen.
Haz, The very basic formula of Mass x velocity = force is a the main source of head injuries. Put a weight limit and make the turf higher, lowering the equation.
Yet another reason why baseball >> football.
ReplyDeleteYou're gonna love this, Troop.
ReplyDeleteDoes not surprise me in the least the league and the Dolphins are doing what they are doing. You can't expect them to take blame themselves, can you?
ReplyDeleteAnd Igcognito is a douche bag. So that makes throwing him under a bus easy (well except that he weighs over 300 lbs).
Evi, Good analysis.
ReplyDeleteThey should have Obama make a speech on it. He is an ace @ throwing people under busses.
ReplyDeleteMartin is a spoiled brat, an elite, whiny, immature, sissy who couldn't hang with the boys. Poor baby.
ReplyDeleteNot saying what Incognito did was right, but he was like a shark who smelled blood in the water. He made the big baby cry.
So it goes.
Now about that name "Redskins"...
Maybe they can start a team called the "The Thinskins" and Martin can go star with them.
ReplyDeleteThey could wear pink and gold.
Geez on my old HS football team this would've been handled as a fist fight after practice - and been forgotten.
ReplyDeleteI think Martin has as many mental issues as the other guy.
Like all whistleblowers, Martin will be treated as a pussy by most NFL players. This is how this stuff plays out.
ReplyDeleteAnd probably rightly so. He should have told Incognito to fuck off.

ReplyDeleteHelmets and shoulder pads cause injury. Players could not slam into each other as they do without the protection of helmets and pads. Rugby has tackling and scrums, but no wear near the same number of injuries as football (although rugby tends to have more spinal injuries than football).
