  1. My guess is this is the case with pretty much any public access point. Money, touch pads for debit/credit cards, a hand rail ANYWHERE, magazines at the doctors office, touch screen on the Coke machine at Burger King, etc. I would argue too much disinfecting is probably more detrimental to our health than ingesting a little microscopic fecal matter.
  2. Robotics are becoming much more adaptable to multiple tasks and the price is constantly getting more affordable. The biggest issue for robotics in the early years was that they were built to do a specific task. When the process changed or that process was no longer needed, the robot was pretty much a dinosaur. Today's robots are becoming much more adaptable to do multiple tasks or being able to be adapted to different processes. The perfect factory will have one dog and one human. The human is there to feed the dog, and the dog is there to make sure the human doesn't mess with any of the machines.
  3. You can make unofficial visits on your own any time. I would assume most of these schools offer camps that athletes can attend. I'm assuming the offers are made then. Been a while since I've been in the recruiting business, but I assume most of this still holds true.
  4. Be the best a man can get! Kinda puts the Gillette SB ad in perspective doesn't it?
  5. http://www.kyagr.com/marketing/hemp-pilot.html https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidcarpenter/2018/08/28/kentucky-farmers-hemp-more-profitable-than-tobacco/#47be651c100f Tobacco farming is basically non-existent in Indiana anymore, this is a viable crop for farmers. In turn with an additional crop in the rotation, this could lead to less supply of traditional crops, thus more favorable prices for farmers. https://www.country-guide.ca/crops/should-you-be-adding-hemp-to-your-crop-rotation/ I have loosely followed Kentucky's program, based on my listening to KY radio. McConnell took care of the folks on this one. While listening to our backwards ass governor rail on the ills of cannabis, and promoting hate crimes legislation, KY is way ahead of us on this issue, an issue that really boost our agri-business economy.
  6. Martina Navratilova recently spoke out about his, mentioning the unfair advantage of testosterone, I have a feeling she knows from experience. I do know that testosterone is a banned substance per WADA. It was Floyd Landis's ultimate undoing in cycling.
  7. I was listening to a Freakanomics podcast yesterday, your best bet to get into a top flight school is: 1)Have the grades/test scores to qualify. 2)Be good at Fencing. Odds of a college scholarship are exponentially higher than virtually every other sport.
  8. Am I the only one who finds "naughty language" like the least of our problems as far as retaining officials? I think this is a solution in search of a problem.
  9. ***Moving from VOC thread*** I'm left scratching my head with this discussion. One the one hand bashing Christians has pretty much become sport in this country. While the the bible may or may not offer death for the sin of homosexuality, I'm not aware of any instances in recent history where Christians are killing gays for being gay. On the other hand, we're suppose to embrace Islam as a "peaceful" religion, and celebrate diversity, and all the current PC culture. Yet there are any number of incidences in recent history where Muslims have killed people for being gay.

  11. I can agree 100% with this. Comparing administrative duties at the MS vs. HS is apples and oranges. HS is infinitely larger.
  12. C'mon man, this ain't wrastlin, it's wrestling. How about baby gonzoron?
  13. I would guess there was an issue. Have you ever read all of the warnings on a ladder?
  14. My wife likes to order shoes/clothes, etc. from Macy's online. She'll order stuff, and return what doesn't fit or she doesn't like. So, since I'm in the city a lot more than her, it falls upon me to return what she doesn't want. A couple of weeks ago, I return a couple of pairs of heels. The woman at the counter opens them up, has a bit of a smirk on her face and asks "they didn't fit?" To which I replied, keeping a straight face and without batting an eye, "I was looking for something a little sexier for dancing". Eff it man, may as well have a little fun with it.
  15. Hence my sarcastic comment about him speaking for all conservatives. Because every time some id1ot makes a stupid comment like this, we all get stuck with it. Conversely Crazy Uncle Joe says "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." and everyone laughs it off, ohhhh, that's just Crazy Uncle Joe.
  16. The NCCSIR report spells out the issues with reporting, it's still not exactly a science. No word from the Boston Globe. Your gut.....now with get to the crux of it.
  17. I realize we're getting off in the weeds, but since your article seems to focus on deaths, NCCSIR seem to disagree, I don't see any discernible trend. I'm not going to knock the Boston Globe's effort to shock and awe, but NCCSIR and RIO by all accounts I've been privy to is the gold standard when it comes to sport related injury statistics. Wear non-cleated shoes. It did happen on grass as well, though probably not with as much frequency, my ankle is still jank, but it beats the having knee surgery!
