@FastLegs5 @imrightthough @ProFootballTalk @FastLegs5 I like how you kept arguing with the other guy, hurling insults, but no reply here. No rebuttal bc your entire view on the subject is based off vibes and TV.

@FastLegs5 @imrightthough @LionWingsMadFa1 @ProFootballTalk 1/2) Ofc most w/ CTE have had concussions, they played football. They all lifted weights too, but neither is what causes CTE. ≈20% of cases have no concussion history. Linemen have by far the highest rate of CTE despite WR, DB, and RBs getting way more severe concussions.

Cam Skattebo says CTE isn't real: "It's an excuse." nbcsports.com/nfl/profootbal…

@Mikewh1201 @JayCuda Big east is considered a power conference. They’ve had the most champions the past 10 years.

@JayCuda I was wrong. Uconn and St Johns are still around. So maybe Utah St is the last non-P5 team? I dunno how this works for the Big East and basketball.

the cinderella of the sweet 16 so far is a school with a top 10 enrollment and a top 1 endowment (public)

@FastLegs5 @imrightthough @LionWingsMadFa1 @ProFootballTalk 2/2) ok but that does not mean CTE caused his behavior. There were clear signs of emotional volatility and violent temper long before CTE could have realistically started having behavioral effects.

@BoxingSince1776 @imrightthough @LionWingsMadFa1 @ProFootballTalk But most people that suffer from CTE have a repeated history of concussions which is all part of the process of blows to the head. In this case Hernandez had the worst case of CTE they have seen.

@FastLegs5 @imrightthough @LionWingsMadFa1 @ProFootballTalk 1st of all concussions dont cause CTE. Theyre separate thing entirely. CTE is repeated low level blows, over a long period. 2nd, any attempt to link violent behavior to brain damage from playing days is confounded by the fact being a violent psycho is advantageous on the field.

@imrightthough @LionWingsMadFa1 @ProFootballTalk Aaron Hernandez says hold my beer. You sound like an idiot. LOL

@LionWingsMadFa1 @imrightthough @ProFootballTalk Concussions aren’t what causes CTE, they have nothing to do with it. Its small blows, consistently, over a period of many years.

@imrightthough @ProFootballTalk I bet you never had any major concussions if you did not you have no clue about brain trauma.

@Automated_Edge @DanPickz2 @ProFootballTalk I’m not saying you dont have a point, but much of the character building & life lessons from football are downstream from the injury risk. Danger + risk necessitate courage, self sacrifice, and toughness. Our culture today values safety above all, at the expense of other virtues.

Having played high school football and college football, this is a tad short sighted. I think there is a lot to be said that the lessons and friendships from playing is something I would never trade, but who’s to say you can’t get those from sports and athletics that don’t carry injury risk.

@Ny_Jets__ @BrainsonBrian @Nerd_Sesh I’m curious why you’re so sure of that. Do you think it’s impossible for someone to have level of knowledge off the top of their head?

@BoxingSince1776 @BrainsonBrian @Nerd_Sesh Lol okay bud

Can you name the leading NBA scorer from every college currently in the Top 25?

@Ny_Jets__ @BrainsonBrian @Nerd_Sesh I mean, I guess possibly but some people just know things. I would expect that someone who starts a basketball podcast is that level of obsessed with basketball. I don’t think this is scripted at all.

@BoxingSince1776 @BrainsonBrian @Nerd_Sesh It’s scripted duh

@salutemyshortz @Angel_Abdiel01 @PeanutChillman It’s true that everyone hires Wharton kids, and the *average* kid from UI isn’t in the same bracket. But the top tier coming out of state flagship uni absolutely is. I think MIT or Harvard will have a handful of truly special geniuses though.

@BoxingSince1776 @Angel_Abdiel01 @PeanutChillman The gap between 1 and 12 is bigger than the gap between 12 and 50 Everyone hires Wharton kids. Nobody hires Illinois kids outside of Chicago. Several other Big Ten schools ahead of them, at least

This isn’t savage. It’s distasteful. Penn students shifted to classism because their team lost a basketball game.

@BrainsonBrian @Nerd_Sesh Read a ton of bball history and your brain starts retaining shit without you even realizing.

@Nerd_Sesh Deep bag i mean how would anyone know some of this

@DJ_Reticuli @Sparkette_357 @TheMagaHulk The medical aspect of the show is excellent, and the main guy is a good character. But the entire show is crafted to flatter the sensibilities of the progressive millennial audience. It’s heavy handed and predictable. Its also way too much of a puff piece for the medical field.

The Pitt is also just so damn obvious and preachy. A lot of weird, idealized stuff about how a hospital should be run. Pardon the pun, but it's often very prescriptive and not believable. The body horror stuff can only take the realism so far. I thought Noah Wyle did great in ER and was thrilled that Brad Dourif's daughter would be in it, but many episodes are painful to get through. Lot of cringe factor even beyond the gore.

The Pitt is the gayest show ever made

@LegendaryTakes @stonedbelli @PeanutChillman You didn’t read my comment correctly. Families with incomes under $250k (that’s 90% of families in the US) pay $0 tuition at most Ivys. Under $150k they don’t even pay for anything (books, housing etc. are fully covered). 90% of Princeton graduates are debt free.

@BoxingSince1776 @stonedbelli @PeanutChillman Sure, but when tuition is $80k a year… $250k of debt is still likely after financial aid

@LegendaryTakes @stonedbelli @PeanutChillman Literally no one pays full price at an Ivy except legitimately rich kids. Family incomes under 250k (which is upper middle class) pay 0 tuition (only room and board, books etc), under 150k pay for nothing.

@stonedbelli @PeanutChillman No, they just made a choice to be $100,000 in debt at Illinois versus $250,000 in debt at an Ivy. What the average student at Ivy is significantly smarter. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging that.

@stonedbelli @PeanutChillman Ivys pay for your entire education if your family is middle class or below, & even upper middle class kids (like fam income of $300k+) get GENEROUS aid. Basically no one except uber rich pay full price… regardless I agree top 20% at state flagship is just as smart as ivy kids.

@Angel_Abdiel01 @PeanutChillman US News and World Report has Wharton ranked #1 and Gies (Illinois business school) ranked #12, not far off. The top 20% of kids at the big state flagship unis is just as smart as Ivys and compete for the same jobs after grad. Now a school like “southern Illinois” is a diff story.

@PeanutChillman What makes those unwashed geeks think Wharton is that much better than Illinois’s highly respected business school?

@MurrayHillGuy1 Id never live in burbs if I was single, but a full Sat is the shit w/ my girl. It usually goes: do early AM workouts or active together (eg. hike w/ the dog) > late AM errands/groceries > unholy, primal fucking in the afternoon. Evening might be dinner, meet up w/ friends etc.

How do people in the suburbs genuinely look forward to Friday night on the couch, Saturday morning at Costco, and call that a weekend? Like you really moved out of the city just to LARP as your parents at 34?

@JeremyD513 @DudespostingWs Most of this vid (the supplements etc) has nothing to do with football, he’s doing it on his own for longevity. Regardless, D1 football is very serious no matter where you’re at. The diff btw a program like UDel vs Ohio St. isnt the level of commitment or intensity of training.

@BoxingSince1776 @DudespostingWs I'm saying if he does all that bs just to play for Delaware imagine what good players on good teams do

This D1 college football player trying to live to 150 takes you through a day in his life.

@ObservantShelly @DudespostingWs I’m saying that he did. You have clearly never played sports, or been into sports culture. For the love of god, please let your kids play team sports. There are lessons there that can’t be learned anywhere else except maybe the military.

@ObservantShelly @DudespostingWs Sports give you skills that help you fave challenges in other areas of his life. You are clearly clueless about what being a D1 football player entails. The discipline with training at that level is extremely high. That discipline then carries to all of life.
