    You guys remember him-- we called him "Fake Revis" all year because he wore #24

    This just tragic.
    Prayers to all affected.

    Whoever wrote that story Petro linked must not be local, I would not call Rock Hill a tiny community.
    Been there dozens of times for softball tournaments it is home to Winthrop University and has multiple exits off the interstate.

    That was actually Travis Ruldoph who was also arrested on first degree murder charges . Apparently killed one wounded a second and shot at 2 others.
    Bad day for FSU

    That’s the thing. We bitch and moan about the new rules but the tragedies continue to pile up with the CTE. The first real step is to pad the outside of the helmets, but it looks “goofy” so the NFL won’t do it simply for aesthetic reasons, and then feed us bullshit about how they’re trying to “protect the players”. Spare us

    Oh yeah I know. I was just saying another travesty in the football world.

    Is this a thing? Not saying it isn't but how would it stop the brain from rattling around?

    The NFL and their player safety shit is a joke.

    Yes it’s used in youth leagues and college teams use it in practice. The outside padding combined with the interior padding reduces the shock to the head significantly. And you’re right about the NFL safety stuff. It’s a dog and pony show

    Damn when you said goofy I was expecting it to literally be a bed pillow duck taped around the helmet. But this is sleek enough if it helps even 10%

    I can't begin to understand why every single youth league in the country and maybe all the way up through high school doesn't wear this.

    Apparently the man was his doctor and he cut off his meds. Not sure what the meds were but they think that was the motive.
