    There was supposedly an excellent article on this in GQ last month, but I never made it past the Olivia Wilde pictures. #nfldementia

    It was a joke, of course I read it. Ms. Laskas never fails to disappoint in quality, just like the NFL is dickitude. #nfldementia

    In reply to Congress Gets Involved In Concussion Debate, Fails To Solve Everything
    Rep. Lamar Smith of Texas, the top Republican on the panel, said that while Congress can highlight the consequences of playing football, "the NFL does not need Congress to referee this issue."

    "Football, like soccer, rugby and even basketball and baseball, involves contact that can produce injuries," Smith said. "We cannot legislate the elimination of injuries from the games without eliminating the games themselves."

    @Phintastic: No you can't, but you can legislate normalized standards of care . . . simple things like if you are still showing the effects of a concussion 5 days after the incident, it may be good idea to sit next week's game out. #nfldementia

    Random Congressman: You mean you cleared players to participate in the game at the behest of your superiors?

    Gay Culverhouse: That's right, counselor.

    Congresswoman Waters: And the head of your league was Roger Goodell.

    Gay Culverhouse: Yeah, counselor, Roger Goodell.

    Congresswoman Waters: Did you ever get such an order directly from Roger Goodell?

    Gay Culverhouse: No, ma'am, I never talked to him.

    Random Congressman: There was always a buffer, someone in between you and who gave you orders.

    Gay Culverhouse: (laughing) Yeah, a buffer, the League had a lot of buffers.

    And when the hearing was over, the senators and NFL representatives placed bets on who could tie their shoes quicker, Robert Byrd or Al Toon. #nfldementia

    ...explain to senile Congresspeople why football isn't the deadliest game in town.

    The NFL's standing on solid ground, what with Jim Bunning still running the Senate Jarts League.

    so much for a open, free market.

    I'm not a Rush fan, I just think his politics and opinions have no bearing on his partial ownership of a company. When the table turns for a far left buyer I hope the same treatment is given

    Upon learning the news, Rush washed down a mouthful of Oxy with a mouthful of Cialis, drilled the housekeeper and, just for a little while, forgot how much it hurts to be right all the time.

    So convicted felons can play in the NFL, but you can't have an owner who is politically outspoken? That seems to be the message here. Too bad he couldn't get Tony Dungy to vouch for him.

    @Shivver: Limbaugh was arrested on a felony charge and then took a plea arrangement. But that's not the issue. Nor is being "politically outspoken." The issue is business, and whether Limbaugh would be good for it.
