 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 Concussions are no joke. I have a good friend who has done a ton of research and it's not good.
 
 I have a feeling that football will fall from grace in the next 15-20 years due to issues about concussions, unless headgear undergoes major advancesComment

 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 If only I had my own computer (which broke 2 months ago) and didn't have to use a ****ty computer that's connected to someone else's internet because I lost the encryption key to my wireless router, and therefore cannot stream/download said free movies
 
 It was okay. Jason Segel was hilarious, but he doesn't get enough scenes. Worth a rent if you haven't seen it, but I wouldn't buy it myself.Comment

 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 Probably same with hockey. Sidney Crosby has been out of commission for 10 1/2 months after a concussion and just now got clearance to resume contact drills. They have SAFER barriers on NASCAR tracks, maybe they need to invent SAFER boards for ice rinks.Steelers : IX, X, XIII, XIV, XL, XLIII

 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 Too much money involved with football. As long as the NFL is making money, they will continue. I see helmets getting an overhaul in the near future though. I understand that concussions are no joke. These players knew what they were getting themselves into.PSN: buckeye02Comment

 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 A priest and a rabbi walk into a bar. "Hey guess what", says the priest. "What?" says the rabbi. "This", says the priest, who then hits the rabbi in the face with a bar stool, giving the rabbi a concussion.

 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 Okay, I have to go back to this comment because I just realized just how many game developers are in the Seattle area.Just applied to a different job in Seattle. My coworker who is also trying to get out (and I've bitched and complained to him mainly, instead of bringing it here) noticed it and sent it my way.
 
 It's another company you guys might have noticed. They make some pretty fun videogames. The job requirements looked good for what I was looking for, and you know what? **** it. Let's go for it, baby. Roll the dice. Life's too short to be completely miserable, amirite?

 Though you did say good games so we could erase that last one. Maybe if the one you applied for doesn't work out, you could still find work at one of these.

 Re: Off Topic 2011
 
 Not really. The concussion movement is only about 5 years old. Guys in the NFL and college now didn't grow up with the knowledge and technology to identify concussions and the knowledge of the detrimental effects of even very minor concussions.
 
 Football will still be around, but I am guessing that many parents will not allow their kids to play tackle football as youths and these kids will move on to other sports (namely lacrosse, which is growing very fast).Comment

 It's not the password I created... I know that. For some reason, whenever I try to connect I need the original encryption key, which is a combo of 40 letters and numbers. I had it written down on a comcast book, but I guess when I moved I didn't bring it with me.Comment
