Corn Flakes: Playing Football Before Age 12 Can Cause Brain Problems
| I’ll be blunt. I think having your son starting playing tackle football at an early age is stupid. I am fully cognizant of the fact that by making that statement I’ve pissed off a lot of youth coaches and a lot of fathers along with them, but were you to take the findings of the study linked below seriously, you would not allow your son to participate in youth football until 8th or 9th grade. I get the idea of getting kids involved in sports... |

Husker Women’s BB Beats Wisconsin, Falls to Iowa in OT

ESPN and NFL Want Changes to the College Football Playoff Schedule
| USA Today and Sports Business Journal report that both ESPN and the NFL are asking the College Football Playoff to alter the schedule for future games.

Corn Flakes: Netflix Non-Crappy Movies of The Week
| The first time we tried this, I discovered something I should have already known; there are not a lot of you who will take a chance with a movie you’ve never heard of, and most of you prefer to watch something you’re already familiar with. Well, knock it off. Take some chances, dammit. Venture outside your comfort zone. Here are three recommendations for the week, none of which is a war movie. I must be feeling ill. Or I am disappointed in what I’ve found.... |
