Football suffered a body blow this evening. We all hope Hamlin recovers. Some may wonder whether football has been injured, too. Millions watched the event.
Years ago, I suggested on the Bootleg that colleges and pros restrict players to less than 250 pounds. A salubrious result would be that high school players, whose chances of a career in football are zilch, as well as college and pro players, might lead lighter, healthier lives. The response was physics -- you got to love Stanford alums -- force = mass x velocity. Lighter players would be faster players.
What would you suggest?
