this post is so wrong.

How can they educated himself if they lose the farm when he's in grade 8.

I get what you're saying but the analogy you are using is just wrong or you're heartless.

Im not heartless... We are all faced with decisions in life and there are consequences for those decisions. I don't know whats so hard to understand about this. People don't have a "right" to demand money. We have a right to education though.

In totally useless news but interesting;

You learn something new everyday about one of my favourite bands, the Beatles, this is interesting, on this day in 1968 while recording the Let it Be album, the band needed female vocals for the harmony - and as none were available in the studio they invited two fans from outside the studio to contribute the line "nothing's gonna change our world" from the Across the Universe song.

And they found Richard III!

I don't see them stepping in when people are blowing their brains out because of concussion related issues. It's a known risk, how is that even arguable? When im working and i know what im doing is potentially harmful or even deadly i have the right to refuse. Its my right.. No one is forcing anyone to take PED's.. I understand your argument and i think it all comes down to who has a better lawyer.

The lawyers will make money regardless. And the leagues will pay them handsomely regardless. they would never risk it to begin with.

As for the concussion vs. PED issue: the occasional suicide that may or may not be related to concussions would be nothing compared to the health effects of universal use of PEDs. We'd be talking about a full blown epidemic.

And you have the right to refuse unsafe work in, say, a warehouse or a loading dock. If some business made you sign a waiver forcing you to accept the unsafe conditions as a requirement for working there, that business would be shut down faster than you could even say, "lawsuit."

The NFL has a big impending legal problem around concussion/head-trauma related issues. If you'd like to read up on the topic: http://www.sfgate.com/hea...ould-hit-hard-4204385.php

The class action lawyers (with respect to PED related health problems) would clean up with the best lawyers the NFL could possibly hire. Bottom line - league sanctioned PED use is just not going to happen.

The children!

That he most likely never killed!

Maybe Jimmy Hoffa is buried nearby to, start digging, lol


Interesting how they tracked down the descendant of his sister here in Canada.

really?

Some of the hockey stuff, yeah. I've zoned out for a few pages.

The Tudors cooked the history books!? Who woulda thunk.

no offence but is that really hockeybuzz worthy? Did you know Neil Young played in a band with Rick James? You don't care? I don't blame you.

Him bringing up scientific method is amazing, I really don't think he understands it one bit.

- Atomic Wedgie

Said he suffered 10 injuries, 8 to the head.
One was a blade that went through one side of his skull and touched the other side, it was "potentially lethal" ...ya think?!

- Arctic_AARDVARK

No offence taken because I would actually have to care what you think,

I know the things you're talking about... Which makes one of us that understands, and one that's trying to look smart.

And let me tell you, you are not doing a good job of it.

I think it's tea time.

Acting condescending is the first clue you are done. Christ. Have fun in your bubble world buddy. Youre a joke.

but if you sign the waiver then you arn't being forced. My uncle has a dirt bike track and he makes everyone sign a waiver.. If they don't sign go ride somewhere else. I agree with everything else.

If Neil Young really did play in a band with Rick James, I do care! Do tell....

Says the guy who claims there are no facts that cannot be determined by statistics. I feel like I am arguing with a drunk whos keys I just took away.

pfft, only a flesh wound.

Is it just me, or is it getting uncomfortable in here?

Group hug?

That's not Hockeybuzz worthy, that is a warning Wedgie.

The league will hire better lawyers then the widow house wife. I think the leagues want their athletes to use PED's... Makes a for a better product.

You show up here and 10 minutes later your blood is boiling.... EVERYTIME. Does that not make you at least pause and think....
