Black helmets plz!!!

Not possible. NFL rules state you can't switch helmets during the season in order to limit concussion risk because the fear is that in changing them some players may not get a helmet that fits as well as the they wear on a regular basis. It's probably overly cautious but the NFL really can't be too careful with the concussion stuff since it threatens the existence of the game of football.

Clearly you haven't been around here long.

This seems like one of those things that sounds true because it somewhat makes sense, but isn't why things are the way they are...

Which is absurd because helmets have little impact on the occurrence concussions, nor are they designed to.

I believe, though I'm not 100% on it, that it has been shown that a properly fitting helmet lessens the risk of a concussion more so than a helmet that does not fit properly. Basically if it doesn't fit snugly then that is an extra collision your head can make when hit violently.

      Canes vs Islanders 7pm

      By tailg8or · Posted

      Miller didn't get the player or the puck ... Liability on the ice.  Teams are starting to pursue him behind the net and aggressively chase him down.  Slow and awkward ... Something needs to be done if this continues to the playoffs.

      That said, I was silently hoping the Canes would go after him in free agency a couple years ago. I still think several guys on the Islander roster would fit well in Raleigh.

      Giannis

      I was initially a fan of going after Giannis.  But looking at this draft class and some others that could be available via trade - I think I’m leaning towards staying the course. The OKC model is land on your draft picks, develop your stars and depth, and stockpile future picks. Especially as a smaller market, we can’t afford paying everyone like superstars.  Coby will need to get paid this offseason.  Miler will need a new contract soon, as well as Moose and Miles.  And then you gotta pay Kon at some point and the other rookies. Our depth right now really sets apart - especially when injuries inevitably happen. If we can get someone like Yaxel or Koa Peat (both playing tonight) and another big, we should be set for a long time.
