Safety equipment in cars has improved to be better than ever before, this is why I encourage drunk driving. It helps build a tolerance and my ability to operate a vehicle impaired.

They continue to turn it into more and more sissy ball. Why not just play flag football? They want to completely ruin the game anyway.

Sure, if some drivers decide to drive drunk, meet regularly in a venue, get paid for it and are fully aware of the risk... I am all in.

If you want to continue this discussion tske it to the Parking Lot. Drunk driving, for the record, is dangerous, irresponsible and entirely stupid.

Sorry my friend, that was an allegory.

They can keep making it safer but it's always going to be a dangerous sport. It's violent in nature. Just like MMA and Boxing. It just comes with the territory.

For those that believe Oklahoma drills (OD's) are useful, you really need to sit down and think about it.

Very few football tackles take place head on and from a static three yards apart. OD's place both players at a level from start where their heads are usually the point of first contact; which causes concussions and reinforces poor tackling.

OD's do NOT teach proper angle and wrapping. What the do teach is going for the big hit as the whole point of the drill is to win firs contact. This is a pointless strategy if you're a 185 lb CB vs a 230 lb ball carrier. A ball carrier at 230 lbs will run straight through a poorly executed angle tackle from a Defensive linemen.

True tackling drills and contact drills need to educate on proper angles, pop and wrap at applicable game scenarios. And now with an emphasis on most important ability on a 46 suit up (availability), you don't want your starting or backup players getting injured in the second or third game due to OD wear and tear.

I've seen HS coaches move away from OD's and towards more traditional ruby type tackling drills. This moves the tackler's head away from the runner's. It places an emphasis on cradling the shoulder on the ball carriers hips and bringing them down from one of the most successful points of contact. On top of this, it teaches defenders to move away from the runners eyes and towards the hips, which reduces the success of jukes.

I know there are those that think this is a load of crap, but, it does work. On top of this, I'd rather see my favorite player on the field for an extra couple of years. I really don't need to see another Steve Young moment where they're motionless on the field.

My kids will be treating your kid's injuries. Thanks in advance. Make sure to get good insurance.

We should just stop playing football, wrestling, lacrosse, and any other sport that can lead to a head injuries. We should also stop boxing, mma, and race car driving. All are much to tough for us and could cause brain injuries or even CTE. Kids shouldn't ride bikes and or walk to school for fear of getting hit by a car.

We should only promote safe sports like tennis and golf, this way everyone gets a turn and everyone gets a trophy.

Baseball may be fine, but we will need to put soft padding around the hard ball as to prevent head injuries.

Then we will ask the public to come out and pay top dollar to watch ordinary people play in the safest sports of all time with no injury risk. Every team will get a Super Bowl trophy each year because we wouldn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

Thanks for sharing this information as I have been looking for an expert on this matter. So as an expert, can you answer these two questions?:

1. What was the percent of CTE for the control group, or the general public?

2. Using the science and data that you have, can you explain why ALL football players do not get CTE?

Why would big tobacco be concerned with CTE?
