Warning I am about to rant. If you don't like ranting click out of here immediatly.
Is it saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaafe?
Local sports radio reporting that the NFL will reconsider weight restrictions in response the recent death of Thomas Herrion and last years death of Korey Stringer. To me this is nothing short of absurd. If they impliment this I am not even sure I will want to watch the game anymore. I am sure it's the insurance companies who at best would like to see these restrictions and at the very least may want to discontinue coverage for linemen in the NFL or at least raise their premiums significantly. Apparently they have a bunch of doctors using the BMI body mass index to say that NFL lineman are massively obese. They are saying Herrion should be 220 pounds to be in shape.
Apparently they were already pushing for these type of restrictions before the Herrion incident. I punched BMI and NFL in a search engine and found that to be true.

The NFL was scoffing at it but I guess now they will reconsider. I do know that using the BMI is completely outrageous and cannot be used on NFL linemen. I swear attorneys, insurance companies and pharmaceutical companies run this world.
In other disgusting news our dog legislation passed on through to the next level. I had a buddy call yesterday because he is concerned about his rottie. His brother lives in Germany where he says 77 breeds are banned and they want to adopt these policies for all countries in the entire European Union. I punched that in a search engine and came up with this.

Make not mistake the insurance companies have waged a war on dogs globally and legislation is coming to a city near you soon.
Jacky Spierer who is the bitch that came out with the dog legislation here locally is going to propose a bill to restrict any form of supplimentation other than basic vitamins for all students participating in athletics in the state. This comes on the heels of her demanding Ahnold give up his job as editor of M&F because there are dangerous suppliments for sale in the magazine. I said it before and make no mistake about it this was never about steroids it was about a bizzillion dollar money grab going after all suppliments in this country like the major pharmaceutical companies tried to do back in 92 they are just coming in the back door with it this time. Steroids are to all suppliments what pit bulls are to dogs, the object to villify in order to go after everything.
One last note the lawsuit that I told Baby Lee about way back finally came to fruition for the people suing pops business. You might have remembered a lady fell down some stairs and my dad had to help her and call an ambulance while her daughter did nothing but screem about how she was going to sue him. No negligence was found regarding the stairs. They had a handrail and good footing. They still ruled we have to give her 30k after spending a bunch on attorneys. Why? Because they legal right to steal that's why.
