The targeting rule appears to be working...

[Rick Cleveland]

Lots of fans don't like it, but I believe if we err, we err on the side of safety...

You've been Germans'd on your own article!

It's a good rule. The game won't survive without it. It may not survive even with it. This CTE stuff is going to get worse before it gets better.

Still doesn't address all the other long-term injury issues for former players. I'm afraid Tony Romo won't be able to walk up a flight of stairs by the time he's 50. And he's not the only one.

say what?

I posted your article before you did. Somehow Germans has come to mean being late with something you post here. It has to do with John Belushi in 1941 saying "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" Don't ask me to explain much further, because I really don't understand it either. Anyway, good article.

It's like a double-decker reference at this point.

Someone posted something that had already been said, the next guy says "Man walks on moon" or more relatedly "Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor", which some smartass sixpacker morphed later into the Belushi reference about Germans bombing Pearl Harbor... which is funny, until you try to explain it.

 

[AlCoDog]

Definitely a, "you had to be there" kind of deal.

Famous ...Animal House quote.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Forget it, he's rolling

 

[patdog]

Uh, yeah. That's what I meant. Animal House. Damn, those movies were a long time ago. Now that I think of it, it wouldn't have made a bit of sense for him to have said that in 1941.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Patdog, I really posted that for RC's benefit, I knew you knew.

 

[patdog]

Oh, I deserved to get called out on that.

This is an entertaining string if you've hung around the board for a while.

 

[Junction John]

Perhaps a new SPS Lexicon entry is in order

say what?

As in old news, somebody already posted it. Everybody knows the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor...except John Belushi in Animal House. "Germans" is a tad overused and I'm convinced that some posters signed up simply to berate people for starting topics a 2nd (or 3rd time) by posting that one word response...

Back to RC point, I don't know if any of you guys ever heard the name Dickie Carpenter, he played safety at State, had to been late 60''s early 70's.
He was my banker for yrs, made my first loan with him!
Apparently he was a bad dude that would knock your dick in the dirt, well..... he is suffering from serious dementia. Don't know what role his playing time plays into his illness, I can only speculate.
This makes me think about rob morgans bro and the guy y'all called "toast" back in the Croom years. They have to be concerned.
