If the helmet is not as good then they should look into it. This sounds like a case of engineers who think they are smarter than everyone and dont have to listen to the peasants even though they have valuable information that the engineers should use.

That the area of view isn't as good in the new helmet as it was in the old? They are engineers....their entire job is the to ensure the structural stability, efficiency, and safety of the helmet. I'd take the word of someone trained to look for more then just "I can't see as good." Besides, in this case it was also co-designed by neurosurgeons. If you want to say that we're smarter then engineers and neurosurgeons...well, nothing anyone says will help you.

akm0404 Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 There's certainly something to the fact that the platform is a bit bigger than usual playing into this. That said, dude melted off all his foot skin, so that isn't imaginary. He'll be fine from that tho, just a bit tender for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also if you dont recognize that the players have insight into the equipment they are using, you are greatly mistaken. when you have an engineer completely $%&@#!!! Up your equipment and refuse to recognize they were wrong and just keep plowing ahead because they are "smarter" than you let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'll be ready to go for week 1. Gruden = Hollywood. this right here. I want to say this is too outlandish for even him so i think it's a ploy to attract followers (look at this thread alone); clicks and viewers to the series, i bet this all blows over once the season starts, with the exception of more mild shenanigans just to keep him in the limelight; he's gonna struggle to post those numbers going forward regardless of his ability or those around him. now he's stating he'll sue the NFL if he's injured in the new helmet? only reality TV would make this a thing. if i were that much more of a betting man i'd say he's scared of fading away and becoming 'normal' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Book Smarts" don't mean crap Actually my best friend is a mechanical engineer, his father was one and I've been around them all my life. They can be know-it-all jerks, but they know their crap. I'd still take the word of a "book smart" engineer over someone who can't read the warning label on a cryotherapy machine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up your equipment and refuse to recognize they were wrong and just keep plowing ahead because they are "smarter" than you let me know. If the NFL wants headgear to meet a certain safety standard and Brown's old helmet doesnt, then it is pretty cut and dry. The NFL gives the players choices of certain helmets that are approved, pick one and deal with it. The NFL told teams and players that last year was the last year to be able to use that helmet. If you think the NFL is going to risk getting sued for head injury because they gave a waiver then you are definitely not smarter than an engineer.

Bing Bong Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) AB's starting to resemble TO's weirdness combined with Randy Moss's no craps given. He's well on his way to becoming the ultimate diva WR (I still have to grant the reigning title to Randy "I play when I want" Moss). 3 hours ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Steven A is awesome now. Very entertaining and has become self aware. Much better than Skip or Cowherd. I think it is how TO used to behaved. They both acted like idiots but would eventually get their way. There are a lot of Bills fans who ignored Incognito’s behavior and would still welcome him back. Stephen A Smith is the king of sports talk show television right now. Seems nothing is ever decided until SAS decrees it to be so. I like Max Kellerman because I can just imagine how futile it feels having to debate every day against the one man who has the ultimate say so on everything sports. I probably prefer Skip just cause he's not on the ESPN throne. SAS is funny and all but it's hard to really care what he has to say since you know no one will ever call him out or disagree with him. His show is just "Stephen A Smith Lords Over Puny Sports Pundits". Edited August 12, 2019 by BarkleyForGOATBackupPT5P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
