Royale with Cheese

The stadium is going to erupt on Sunday when he appears on the jumbotron. You know it's going to happen and I'm going be at a public bar in tears. It is!

hell yeah

Love backwards is evol. Think about it.

He’s not retiring. It wasn’t an extremely difficult recovery. Chase Young was out longer with his ACL recovery. They took the cautious approach.

Even at the HS level, you adjust alignments. So you're saying that whatever alignment is called, you go to the alignment and never, ever adjust. McDermott/Frazier call a play, the offense lines up in something different and you don't make any changes on defense? He admitted that if he took a look at how far back Poyer was playing, he would have changed his alignment. He was supposed to change his alignment and he didn't.

So we keep Rhodes even if he’s terrible just because he has experience?

We don’t need safeties? All players signed in week 18 are fringe players.

So he went from average to good. When did Beast call the coaches an idiot?

When news breaks that Hamlin pulled through and is expected to make it....I think I will be able to feel the energy here in Atlanta. I would expect a lot of tears and when the first TD is scored, the roar will measure on the Richter scale.

I read a study like 15 years ago where they actually had devices on the lineman's pads to measure the intensity of each hit. This wasn't even the NFL, like D3 football school or something and the results were that these OL were getting into equivalent of 35-40 car crashes at 30 mph.

I think you mean capoeira. This is one martial art that slaves created to disguise it as a dance because it was illegal for slaves to train in fighting.

I'm interested in how this training was handled. You don't just "MMA" train. You work each discipline and then combine them to develop your technique. Wrestling is great but you're just wrestling. MMA, you combine boxing, wrestling, BJJ, judo and muay thai. I wonder how long these classes are.

Paralyzed I believe the only one. But neck injuries, they get the all the time. If it's an MMA match, choking and every submission is allowed. I can't read the article because I don't have a subscription. I'm pretty sure they can't have full contact cage matches. The state of NY just about 5 or so years ago allowed professional MMA fighting for the first time. They can have grappling matches or train for it but not a full contact match. In Georgia, as an amateur who hasn't reached the professional level, they wear shin guards and not allowed to punch in the head on the ground.

Ive been training in MMA for about 10 years now and I haven’t heard of any children competing in a ring or cage. I think it’s actually illegal under 18. They take a specific discipline like Jiu Jitsu or Boxing. Some kids can spar in the ring with head gear that’s monitored and not throwing full punches. You just have to really monitor chokes if they grapple. Mike Utley Dennis Byrd

It's still an extra layer of padding. An 80 mph might not help but a 50 mph can.

I think I'm buying this for my kid for baseball. https://www.dickssportinggoods.com/p/mcdavid-youth-hex-sternum-shirt-17mcvyhxstrnmshrthrt/17mcvyhxstrnmshrthrt

I can't stop thinking about Damar's parents. Please pull through Damar.

This is going to be one hell of a 30 for 30 after we win the Super Bowl.

100% agree

I’m feeling optimistic about Hamlin. Its just pure gut but I’m feeling he pulls through. This tragic event I feel will bring the Bills closer and man, they’ll play their hearts out for Hamlin.

Hyde went out in the second quarter of the second game. This season has been off 99% of the year with being tied for the best record in the league?

I hope we win it all and ESPN creates the greatest documentary of all time. Hamlin may never play again and I say get him a ring.

My kid is only 7 so I have awhile where I think I have time before impacts can hurt the body. I know what happened yesterday has never happened in the NFL and is extremely rare. But I will never forget about Damar Hamlin...ever. My son plays every sport and man, I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable seeing him take a big shot, it will happen, those who have played before knows this. Again, I know it's a one in a hundred million but it's also your child. I'm going to let him play what he wants to play but last night was just so scary.

Thank you.
