So, the margin remains 6% in a control group. Now I'm not a major stat dude. But that's not a very overwhelming number to the energy manifested by those who cry about CTE. Thks is just an article where the number stuck in my head because they used a control group vs many studies that didn't. The chances of going up, sure that's impressive but it's also a compounded stat so it's not quite as impressive.

Come to the home opener tailgate. Polka doted dead spots is easy to spot amongst our crowd. 😝

I want to both laugh and cry.

Yes, those are stages but not significance of intensity. At least by my knowledge cte is cte and continues to develop. Obviously more contact creates more likelihood but by all accounts I've seen it doesn't intensify or change by getting hit harder, or longer, or any such thing. The only thing that goes up is the likelihood for it by deduction. And even then the difference between the control group was 6%. Not staggering.

This place would implode and be glorious. Oh so glorious.

Uh huh. But if there are obviously so many cases of people having it and it is essentially a disease without levels of degree than why are more people not committing these crimes, behaving this way, or just having the same attention or problems? The point isn't that there could be more likelihood to get it playing in the NFL vs football in middle school. It's that the statistic isn't that much different for those who didn't play sports and get it. And then again, that if it truly is 9% of all contact sports players why aren't we seeing a rugby player out there being a jerk and then we just excuse his ray rice incident because he got bopped in the head?

@MrsCletus was the highlight. She will log in when Taylor Swift announced her next tour to fuss about ticket prices.

the whole CTE thing is so funny because that crazy doctor who ranted and raved about it then the movie. studies have show that people who have played any contact sports are 9% of that population, and then about 3% of the population who never played a contact sport have been shown to have it. that 6% isn't much when talking millions and millions of children every sport season playing contact sports. the study i remember reading back when the terrible movie was out listed sports like basketball, soccer, ice hockey, football, and even water polo as contact sports. now, i'm sure the chances go up when you play for longer periods but there have not been any studies i've seen where it is "worse" or graded higher due to amount of injury. if you have cte you simply have cte and the symptoms are pretty cut and dry. also, read a while back that a lot of military folks are getting it, and this included men who are in the heavy weaponry who are subject to the shockwaves of the large calibre munitions.

Fan dies in stands after fight at Patriots game
boyst replied to Bubba Gump's topic in The Stadium Wall
Amazes me idiots pull their phone out at the first sign of trouble. If you're with family/children: lead them out of danger and nothing stands in your way to do that - NOTHING (even police). If you're by yourself and a fit man then you need to gently distance yourself or help those who can't. Id you pull out your phone for something like this you're a coward. -

He will still show his colors and be proven a chump. If I'm wrong I'll be happy. -

fighting for such things is never worth it. it can go too wrong. unless you're trying to protect someone or there is already trouble don't go looking for it. -
If he takes after Mrs cletus yes If after his dad, no. I've seen a tree root beat his ass... but I did drop him on it. It was basically like r lee in full metal jacket for those who weren't there🤣 And as @GoBills808can attest when back home in Hawaii in 3 hrs... Don't worry about bringing anything You'll be taken care of. Pick up ice and beer. Maybe doughnuts that morning if you feel obligated.

Was it brought up a lot that we used a lot of sets with 3 tight ends? -
So I learned this whole situation was leaked by the reporter who she is taking to and he is essentially on thin ice with everyone. That reporter and the news station didn't have to leak this or let this out. A lot of people are pissed in the media for a colleague to do this. A few chewed him out royally. edit. This is fact.
