i think the argument is that the hard helmets and shouderpads have ingrained deliberately harder hits and leading with the head in NFL when compared to say Union or AFL. League is questionable.
the NFL have seemingly very strongly come down on head-to-head contact and leading with the head in recent years as the CTE situation has been uncovered further, but i'm not sure that there's been significant advancements in the protective gear
my son is very cute and is about to be 2 months old.
I'm also yet to have a drink at all since he was born. I thought I'd feel like i'd have to cave before now, but i just keep on not-doing it, which makes me happy about my self control i guess. it's helping me keep off the 10kg i've lost since he was born.
I'm also going to see Justice on Friday, which is kinda a lifelong dream gig and is the first real 'thing' I'll do since they boy came along. I'm also more confident this week that my wife will be fine with me going out - even if i did originally buy two tickets and we wanted to get someone to sit him, which is a completely unachieveable plan now that things have panned out - which makes me feel like we'll be able to get through me going back to work
Honestly, I don't understand how some yankee hasn't seen Calcio Storico and formed an american league yet
