A few comments: 1) Contrary to what it might seem like, the collisions with these can be just as jarring as actual football. I had a teammate bust his back so bad during a game that he was laid up in bed for two days and needed to get surgery. 2) While you may be super sore the next day if you play a hard hitting team, it was still so much damn fun. The blend of aggressive violence and soccer skills felt tailor made for me. We lost in the semis our first season but took home the trophy in our second. 3) These things are absolutely disgusting. They trap all the sweat and stank from each person that uses it, so if you have a game later in the day, you're basically gagging as you're sliding it on. We used disinfectant wipes but it only helped a little. If you ever get a chance to try them out, you definitely should. It's an absolute blast and a good way to blow off some steam.

FranklinFldEBUpper Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 1 hour ago, Alphagrand said: I can trace the origin of my exposure to NFL football to the Super Bowl of the 1975 season. I was raised in the era of one television that had two channels and, being from Canada, I'm pretty sure the Super Bowl was the only NFL game televised nationally in that era. It was the Steelers' 2nd Super Bowl win where they beat the Cowboys 21-17. I don't remember the Dolphins teams of 1972 or 73, and I didn't see the Steelers win their first over Minnesota. I’m ashamed to admit that I rooted for the Cowboys in that Super Bowl. The Cowboys and Steelers were my two most hated teams at the time, and I hated the Steelers even more. When they faced each other three years later, I came to my senses and rooted appropriately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utebird Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 1 hour ago, UK Eagle said: At some point, they need to look at removing equipment from players, not constantly adding to it to promote safety or prevent injuries. The constant need to add kit only promotes a misguided mindest of safety for players Yup, move more towards rugby style tackling and rugby style pads,get rid of all hard pads, they aren't protective they increase collision. Having said that doing so would greatly benefit the offense and put a premium on gang tackling. I don't know if it's actually feasible to move towards that as rugby and football while both contact sports are totally different games, but I agree adding g more hard pads isn't the answer to less concussions. Also going back to all natural grass instead of turf will not only decrease the speed of the game but grass is has more give when you bounce your head off it.

eagle45 Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 I think Stoutland would prefer to get in the trenches coaching up linemen while dabbling in offensive design…not being an OC while dabbling in coaching the OL.

jamiller Posted February 4, 2023 Share Posted February 4, 2023 12 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: Damn man. You’ve been around a few. I was 3 then. First memory of football for me was the Eagles/Raiders SB. That same year I had missed most of the World Series because I had to go to bed at 830. You may be too young but @FranklinFldEBUpper should remember the Sunoco books of football stickers. You bought gas and got a couple of players to put in the book, which had every team's starters on O and D. Awesome. I may still have a book. I have all sorts of signed photos from Father Son/Daughter Philly Police Dinners where an Eagle would speak. All early 70s stuff, when of course the Birds sucked but still great memories from those dinners. Usually a lineman or some special teams player would come out (prolly could only afford like a $500 speaker fee) and they always went the extra mile and stayed a few hours to sign stuff. And they brought mad swag (to a 13 year old stickers and photos and pins were like crack). Bonus was they were at the Navy Yard and we would get to tour a ship each year. Some of my favorite memories along with going to so many games as a kid. Lucky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
