Korey Stringer's Family......

need to let this go. This is ridiculous. Let Korey R.I.P. and just accept that he had a simple heat stroke. Our legal system is so out of wack...

The family of former Minnesota Vikings offensive lineman Korey Stringer won an important legal victory Monday against the manufacturer of the helmets and shoulder pads he wore when he died nearly eight years ago from complications of heatstroke.

A federal judge in Ohio concluded that manufacturer Riddell Inc. had a duty to warn Stringer that its helmets and shoulder pads could contribute to heat stroke when used in hot conditions.

yup!!!

So, I'm thinking, this winter I'm gonna go buy some new Nike skates, a Reebok jersey, some underarmer and a few other big brands and I'm gonna go play pond hockey until I'm almost frozen to death and then go get me some free money...their tags never warned me that their poo wouldn't keep me warm enough to play outside when it's -50!

I have a hard time telling a family how it's "appropriate" for them to grieve.

That said, I think the ruling is stupid.

But, their continuous pursuit of these actions in a court room seems to have more to do with $$ than with grieveing.

Hey, it's a sign of the times, you get what you can take. It's not gonna change until judges decide that it's gone too far and I don't know when that will happen in this politically correct society,,,

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Mintal again.

Maybe one of your best post yet.

This is what happens when everyone is taught someone "owes" them something...

    • Push em to the brink!!! Shut em down Freddie!
    • I tend to look at all of these guys and wonder how committed they are to doing special teams? It's a big deal when you're fighting for roster spots. And we need massive refreshes to all phases of the special teams game. And the idea that four or five of these players could see rotational use outside of special teams would be a win. This team has accumulated quite a bit of dead wood over the last five years and its time to take an axe to some of it. These new fellows have a shot to benefit from that if they can really push. That being said, wow that receivers room is crowded right now. I'm not sure if I was a vet player with more than 2 years experience other than Adam Thielen if I'd be too sure of my future here. Tet is guaranteed a spot, Coker earned his for sure and they aren't done with XL developing yet. That's only two to three spots left for the entire room. It's going to be very competitive and better for Bryce's future, too. Safety and linebacker are the opportunity spots here this season. There's room for the right guy and we may see a starter eventually from one of these UDFAs, either by merit or injury.   
    • Aho and Jarvis just gripping it too tight right now. Relax, play their 200 ft game and the shots will start to find the net. Freddie has been excellent and welcome back Mista Svechnikov. Burns.....well, thank goodness for Slavin.
