2016 NFL Offseason

Hopefully, they reach a new pinnacle in their career, the last pinnacle being the presence of Terrell Owens in their lineup.

Uh, Terrell Owens was never a Buccaneer. Their pinnacle was beating the Raiders in Super Bowl XXXVII.

I thought we were talking about the Dolphins, or was that Miami?

Dolphins are from Miami, Tampa Bay is the Buccaneers. Either way, TO never played for either.

Okay, well, there was a rumor that they were going to sign him:

Coming off a gruesome and frankly scary neck injury last season, Ricardo Lockette is expected to announce his retirement tomorrow.

It's a shame to see a talented guy have his career cut short this way. I wish him all the best in his continuing recovery.

That's why I don't play American football. I don't want my neck crooked or disfigured.

not that you can't do the same thing to yourself in half a dozen other sports...

You're right. You can't do that in hockey, baseball, or European football.

No, in hockey you can run the risk of slicing your jugular with a person's skate.

This has happened and it is on YouTube. Do not watch it after you have eaten, or before.

That happened once. Once, and a long time ago, I think.
That is why goaltenders are starting to wear neck protectors, nowadays.

That does not negate the fact that you can get severely injured in hockey and other sports, just like you can in football. It isn't unique to one sport.

I meant slicing your neck. Doesn't really happen in hockey. All sports have injuries, broadly speaking.

I know for a fact guys have been paralyses in hockey after getting run into the boards.....

That's not neck slicing, is it?

actually theres been 4-5 more cases after that, and that's only in the majors.

Your posts with improper punctuation bug me. Try to capitalize the first letter please? Why are we talking about hockey stuff unless it relates to Ricardo Lockette's injury?

Just pointing out the fact that football isn't really anymore dangerous then any other contact sport.

Good job! Anyway, would football be more dangerous than lacrosse? Probably it's less dangerous than boxing.

Jarryd Hayne is retiring from the NFL and returning to rugby.

Well, we wish him the best.

...He was the one who tried-out with the Pats, right?

Maybe this'll stop the doubters of the NFL's toughness over here

Meh. Rugby is fucking brutal cause they don't wear pads. NFL is pretty tame in comparison.

It's silly to compare the physicality of the two really. They aren't as similar as they might seem

When two rugby players collide against each other, that's brutal!

It's pretty easy to pick out people who have never played the game before, because they will make obvious bullshit statements like this.

The pads just mean it hurts less. It's no less brutal on one's body, nor are the hits at all reduced in force. In fact, because of how freely flowing the game can be in mid-play, the hits are often harder and at more oblique angles, where rugby is frequently a more trundling game that helps reduce the force of the hitting.

I think Bill Masterton would beg to differ.
