  1. https://reason.com/2023/09/13/fake-sudafed-is-bullshit-just-as-you-suspected/ I always wondered why that stuff never seemed to work for me, and now I know.
  2. No, I'm not a gazillionaire. You however IO, are another story.
  3. Your weak ankles were not the fault of grass fields. Nice try. Why yes, because factors like field conditions and weather should be mitigated as much as possible. Everything should be the same. Every game, ever time. Because winning is everything. So sayeth the adults who run the game played by children.
  4. Yeah, if you factor in the goal of government schools getting out of the extracurricular athletics business entirely, yes. In the short team, no. I like grass fields better than fake fields. There are more out there than you think. Or you could have 2-3 micro-gazillionaires share the job for free.
  5. Because it makes the playing surface that much more homogenous, and not a factor in the contest. With grass fields a lot of times you have that 'quirk', like the small hole/divot near a hash on the 30-yard line that the home team knows about but the visiting team, maybe not. And a decent groundskeeper can hide that quirk, in addition to making sure the grass length is "just right". Advantage: Home team.
  6. The increase in artificial playing surfaces decrease the homefield advantage.
  7. Or you could contact the local Forrest Gump and get it done for free. Tradition. Grass stains on uniforms. Mud. Builds character.
  8. I admit I don't. Would goats, donkeys, llamas, or emus work better?
  9. Why not? Helps with keeping the grass at the correct height.
  10. No, I just want Indiana High School Football played on grass.
  11. https://apnews.com/article/nfl-nflpa-aaron-rodgers-achilles-injury-grass-fields-artificial-surface-0b6bd58da43d52b0a8578bd7e70228d3 Using that logic lets go back to leather helmets, or no helmets at all.
  12. True. This thread was started as yet more "navel gazing" about how great turf was. You wanted to sweep anything even slightly negative about the product under the rug. Only pretty picture after pretty picture of new turfs fields would suffice.
  13. Yeah, it does bother me. As I have stated before such expensive extravagances have no place in a game played by children. At least Rodgers is probably set to get millions of guaranteed money. I doubt the 16-year old high school player does. https://nflpa.com/posts/only-natural-grass-can-level-the-nfls-playing-field
  14. Yep: https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/mri-confirms-aaron-rodgers-has-complete-tear-of-achilles-tendon As for Mr. Rodgers:
  15. Apparently only confusing to you. Yes, injuries happen in football. Thank you Mr. Obvious. The question is would that particular injury still have happened on a natural surface? And if it would have would it have been less severe?
  16. In regards to to the Aaron Rodgers injury last night:
  17. Well that didn't end well: https://apnews.com/article/jets-aaron-rodgers-debut-5ccdcee9f5ec74538609ff6f724fb860 Probably done for the reason, and may retire.
  18. Go Wildkats. Go Cougars.
  19. I come across this schlub while surfing for games and coming across the Maryland - Charlotte contest on 9/9/23. I present to you Mr. Biff Poggi: *sigh* Not a recipe for success.
