We need to immediately start injecting Russell Wilson with more nanobubbles to compensate for the death of our defense :(

This is what NHL coach Randy Carlyle actually believes.

https://www.cbssports.com/nhl/news/randy-carlyle-has-some-theories-on-what-causes-concussions/

Randy Carlyle posted:

“I have a theory on concussions,” he said. “I think the reason there’s so much more of them — obviously the impact and the size of the equipment and the size of the player — but there’s another factor: everyone wears helmets, and under your skull when you have a helmet on, there’s a heat issue.

“Everyone sweats a lot more, the brain swells. The brain is closer to the skull. Think about it. Does it make sense? Common sense?” said Carlyle, who said he’d never talked to a doctor about his premise, which he was introduced to by Jim Pappin, the former Leaf who also played his career helmet free.

“I don’t know if it’s true, but that would be my theory. Heat expands and cold contracts. The brain is like a muscle, it’s pumping, it swells, it’s a lot closer to the outside of the skull.”

Why don't they play Thursday night games after a buy week? Cut two preseason games for starters and have more inter city training camp days where I can watch lovely players play other ones in scrimmages. Whatever I liked the replacement games.

What I've heard is that's also a disadvantage, because then your bye week is shorter.

The owners don't loving care though. They get their cash money from a third night of football airing unopposed to any other NFL games. As long as the ratings are there, they'll have TNF.

Statistically, thursday night games don't lead to more injuries than sunday night games.

I think they'd take a less chance of getting hurt than money if all the high profile complaints are to be believed. Dunno though.

Star players making big money might be for it. The lower half of the roster making $465k isn't chopping off 30% of their salary for a slightly lesser chance of injury.

You wore that on Halloween?

Honestly I'd rather make the argument that helmets encourage more hits to the head, players would probably be more careful if they wore old timey leather helmets.

You'd think so, but it seems like Russell just tried to dodge the concussion protocol, and he already got his check for that game. I've only seen the hot takes though.

Move the Bears to Toronto and hire Trestman. Whatever voodoo he employs appears to only work in Canada.
