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...

    • Ehlers needs to sit. Definitely can't lose him to a meaningless game.
    • Bet didn't hit because the referee missed 3 clear corner kicks. I had a 5k parlay that would have been alive tomorrow if he didn't miss those calls as well. Super annoying 
    • I don't think it's at all a given that we have players who are good at driving the basket. I guess that depends on your definition. Bridges is 43rd in attempts in the paint Miller is 64th and LaMelo is 66th. We all love to see the lob threat but it's largely miniscule at this point in time. There's gotta be a solution here if LaMelo is to be the centerpiece because this is simply not sustainable if we want to continue to ascend. If he can't drive to the basket then that means we need to add another player to the core who consistently can. That would require moving someone like Miles Bridges. And that's certainly not going to be popular with LaMelo but something has to give here for what we are investing and we need to maximize guys like Miller and Knueppel on rookie deals while we still can. The three chucking is fine when it's working where the issue comes into play is there are no adjustments when it isn't and we just go into a shell and begin to look like the Hornets of yesteryear. That's why the offensive evolution of all involved is critical to us taking the next step. Getting to the play in is nice but we should have our sights set much higher. Right now though they need to take care of business against the Heat. All I ask is that they at least beat those fools. I cannot stand the Heat.
