Motor City Sonics

But they didn't have to get out of Florida altogether. Just away from the shore. As far as not having internet or smartphones, they do have neighbors and if they see all the neighbors packing up and leaving, they don't ask why? Plus they had sirens going off for hours. Seems that if you have the money to live near a beach that you probably have enough to own a car or make some kind of arrangements to get out. I know not everyone can, but most of the people that were killed or had to be rescued probably had the ability to get away from the shore and they chose not to. Nowhere to go? B.S., plenty of places they could shelter that weren't that far away from Ft. Myers & Naples. I don't know why. I just don't get it. What is it? Do they think they're being lied to by the media and every city, county and state official? Do they think dying at home is noble or something? You had 4-5 days to pack up your important papers and irreplaceables and get out.

I think they need to sign 2 everyday outfielders. I am not banking on Kerry Carpenter. I mean, I hope he is the real deal, but I just have a Andy Dirks/Brennan Boesch flash in the pan vibe. Hope I'm wrong. And I would not count on seeing Austin Meadows next year. Maybe he's fine by ST, and that would be awesome, but I think they need to prepare for the worst. Better to have too many players than too few. Miggy is the fly in the ointment there because maybe everyone comes back healthy and looks good after we sign a couple guys........gonna need to use guys at DH and Miggy blocks that.

And guys had to be rescued from an ice shelf that broke away in Lake Huron on a 53 degree day.............. Oh, April in the D !

And kids are stranded at the airport because a crooked travel agent ripped off their Spring Break Money

And Bonderman's change up is looking much better.

Back in 1996 I was on a ride at the New Mexico State Fair, I was actually doing a live break on the air......it was one of those spinning rides - that I don't like and it came to a pretty abrupt stop and me and the promotions guy riding with me kind of looked at each other like "that's not right".............for about 2 weeks after that I had headaches, dizzy spells and constant nausea...........I didn't know it then but I probably had a concussion from the whiplash effect even though nothing hit me in the head. I have not gone on a spinning ride ever since. It really sucked.

don't you find it interesting that bill "accidentally" texted the wrong brian which lead to a team in his division getting in trouble.

I don't know that answer, but when you see a guy who can't walk straight, it might just be a good idea to be on the safe side. Players don't want to be seen as soft, they are usually not going to tell you to sit them. With Shane Morris, I am absolutely 100% sure that Brady Hoke did not see him stumble and wobble from the sideline (a very tough angle to see everything when you are focusing on the next play and not the huddle), and since he didn't wear a headset it took another play to get word to him what happened. They did pull him out of that game when they realized it, he didn't want to come out. Saying it was a neck injury isn't much better for Miami because that's not exactly a good look either. They failed badly, but Tua has to own it too.

No, a game with that speed will have unintended head injuries, but a lot of players go headhunting now because of helmets.........not that players weren't brutal before, but they didn't headhunt nearly as much. Any sport will have unintended injuries, but the checking in the NHL for a while was more about hurting someone than strategy of working a guy off the puck. That has mostly gone away in recent years, but it still happens. The NHL has gotten much harsher in recent years on penalizing players for dirty hits instead of legitimate hits. Think of the kind of shit Matt Cooke used to do. He'd probably get year-long suspensions now. When Krowall would hit someone, he'd throw his hip in the their body......that's more legitimate, even though it bordered on excessive sometimes.

yes but passing the protocols are dodgy too because, as Damian Woody just said, players purposely lower the bar when they take the initial baseline test, they intentionally do poorly on what they can control, so they can pass the real test. This is partly on the player too. The Dolphins fucked up big time here.

Do you trust them? I don't. There's money to be made here....... If there are signs of Gross Motor Instability...........where it's a head, back or neck injury, you are supposed to basically sit that player. So even if it was a neck injury, if it was severe enough for him to lose his legs like that, what the hell is he doing going back out there? The Buffalo game - he hit the back of his head HARD on the ground. It's fucking obvious as hell. Games with 3 days rest are so irresponsible in the first place. Read about Johan Franzen's life now. I hope Tua isn't facing that.

Oh yeah, Shane Morris "slipped".................

I don't trust doctors employed by the Dolphins. He couldn't walk straight. How about being safe rather than sorry. Nah, we're 3-0........get out there !

I lot of hockey players believe that helmets have invited way more cheap shots..........but the chance of even accidentally cracking your head on the ice or boards even on a non hit is too great........I mean, the NHL had a player die from a non-targeted head injury.

Not that I had a ton of respect for Jon Jansen already, but I have zero now - because he's pretty much defending the Dolphins "How do you know he had a head injury on Sunday?". Oh, I don't know, Jon, maybe because he was dizzy and stumbling............might have been a clue that it wasn't a back or neck injury.

Did the Dolphins coach really say "just a concussion" ? Did he really say that?

Sorry, it did hit the ground, but it was not as hard as the whiplash just before it.

By the way, Tua did not actually hit his head on the ground. The concussion last night happened when he got hit and his neck snapped back so violently.

The League doesn't give a solitary shit about player health and safety. Make money, Money good, Make More. Gimme. If the NFL gave a shit about players they would not schedule games 3 days after another game. These Thursday night games should only have teams that had a bye week the previous week. Just add a second bye week for each team.....this way the players get an extra week of rest and recovery, the teams will have a better chance of having their rosters more often, the quality of the games gets way better, the NFL season lasts 19 weeks (won't hurt the league at all), with two bye weeks more teams will get national focus with fewer games. If they can make a schedule with 31 teams work, they can make that work. These guys should never play on only 3 days rest. Hell, it takes 3 days just to recover. The only reason the Dolphins are going to get any kind of fine is public opinion, not out of the goodness of Roger's heart. You'll see all the talking heads today talking about how horrible that was, the same networks that use hard hits to promote their upcoming games. Some of this responsibility is on Tua's shoulders too, by the way. Like Ryan Shazier's neck injury was his fault for hitting a guy with the crown of his helmet -- intentionally That reminded me of Jahvid Best's injury. They are talking about foam Guardian Caps on ESPN. The league uses them in practice and high school teams use those some places. The NFL doesn't want to cover up the helmet logos and they don't want to lose the sound of the helmets clacking together............marketing more important than health. I doubt Tua plays this year............or possibly ever again. He's gonna be suffering from head pain, light sensitivity, nausea for a very long time. Every concussion makes you more vulnerable for the next and usually the next one is worse...........take that and add the fact that they were 3 days apart and he probably did permanent damage last night. I question why I watch this game. It's barbaric. Why don't Rugby and Aussie Football have these kind of head injuries........they don't even wear helmets and they hit each other just as hard. Is it because they respect each other and attempt not to hurt each other? Took Frank Gifford a year to come back from the Chuck Bednarik hit and that is one of the most famous and celebrated photos in NFL history (Chuck standing over Gifford, who looks dead on the turf) How long until Roger calls the ESPN hotline and tells them to stop talking about it?

Dave Brandon will be issuing a statement on Tua at 1 am

You want privacy? Then destroy you cellphone, all your TVs, all your computers. Never go online again. Get rid of your car and get a bicycle. Go live in a little cabin in the woods, but even then, every time you go into town for supplies or food, there will be a camera somewhere that sees you.

It's not alright, but you know nothing will stop them from doing it. Just being realistic. Hoover spied on everyone he could the whole time he was in power, it's just easier to do it to everyone now. Nobody has that capability and doesn't use it. But Snowden picks Russia? RUSSIA? What a joke.

why does it matter anymore. Coolio's dead. What's the point of any of this?

I guess the Big 12 fined the school $50K

Did the Lions hire the Tigers training staff?
