Hope you guys didn't study engineering at UF. Helmet would have to be slightly larger, but external appearance otherwise need not change.
Special teams player Steve Tasker in the 90's played for the Bill's had padding on the outside of his helmet. I think it was "protection" because he had so many concussions.
I did prosecute some arzehole kid (about 26 of course) who mooned the entire graduation once.
Of course. This quote nails it:Of course it went there. Race card is always pulled out.

He pleaded guilty. Im sure it was time served, but I dont recall. We had hundreds of files a day.Well, don’t leave us in suspense. Did you secure a conviction or some sort of plea bargain...or did he beat the charges? If you scored a victory, what was he ultimately convicted of and what was the punishment (I’m assuming 10 years minimum in a max security prison but that’s just a hunch)?
Yeah, when Garrett was on top of Rudolph, there were two Steelers players right there trying to get him off. Other players would have heard it.Been with my boss the past few days, he lives in Cleveland. Huge Browns fan. He got the racial slur news and said “you had to know this was coming from Garett.”
I told him Pouncey is from the hood and he was right there, if he heard that no way was he defending Rudolph the way he did.
It’s BS.
Yeah, he went full Jussie.What bothers me more than the false accusation itself, is the expectation of what will happen once the accusation is leveled. The fact that we have gotten to a point in society where there's a reasonable belief that one can simply deploy the race card to get off with a slap on the wrist for actions such as assault and battery is truly disgusting.
It shouldn't matter what rudolph did or didnt say to him. Words aren't criminal and no words are justification for assault. You assault someone, you deal with consequences, even if you feel they had it coming. That's what a man would do. Garrett is a 275 lb wet pvssy.
I was about to post the same thing, you beat me to it. As if somehow a racial slur provides even a molecule of justification.What bothers me more than the false accusation itself, is the expectation of what will happen once the accusation is leveled.

How a Lyle Alzado apeshyt moment (there were many more) turned into a rule.
Even with today's helmets, the brain is still bouncing around inside the skull on these hits and that's what causes the damage. Padding is not going to change that.Bronco Nagurski's helmet was padded, offering protection to his own head and some protection to other players hit by his externally padded helmet. Today rules are changed and everyone wrings their hands fearing the helmet as a deadly weapon, even when it is on the players head. The helmets are carefully engineered to protect the players wearing them. It would be very easy to add some external padding to offer some protection to player's hit by the helmet. Why isn't external padding required?
