There's no "I" in team but there is one in tennis.

Not so sure about that...If David Haugh has any balls, he tries to explain himself to "Boers & Bernstein" and not appear on "The Joker's Wild", I mean CSN's "Chicago Tribune Live" after the Giants finish off the Cubs today at AT&T Park.

By the way, as for that remark I made a few minutes ago, I was being honest...

This is exactly why I don't post in this section these days. I understand Bernstein has a confrontational way of presenting things, which always gets guys like you upset. You are creating your own anti-Bernstein narrative, which makes you disprove anything he says. Do you have to play football to be a better person?

Yes, but then he takes it back. Weird.


From sixth grade in North Judson, Ind., through a career at Ball State University during which I experienced at least two concussions, football taught me to be aggressive, take a hit, get up and don't back down. To respect all but fear nothing. Football taught me how to work harder than I thought possible, and with others. I saw football give countless lost teens direction by building self-confidence and turn hundreds of shy kids into bold ones. I was one of those kids.

Football helped raise a small-town boy into a man and often parented me while my own parents struggled to make ends meet. Football paid for the college education and created opportunities that made me who I am.

I feel confident my wife and I can teach those lessons to our 11-year-old son if he never plays football. I have little doubt he would learn them quicker if he does.

Oh, that was a thread? Crap, I forgot!

How old is Haugh? Was he was playing at North Judson when Radtke was coaching there?

I don't think he's that old...

Not listening to this hypocritacal assbag bernstein anymore, but for someone who constantly yells at callers that he needs proof he needs to read more about youth football, high school football and NFL and head trauma. Mayo Clinic has done studies, the CDC has done studies, hell even NIOSH has done studies and none of them back the hysteria that dr bernstien spews. But I guess none of them gots the smarts that he does.

_________________

He was born in 1968, which would put him in high school in the mid 80s. I believe Radtke left NJ in 86, so it is pretty likely.

Huh?

Bernstine is speaking of Haugh's article in the light of Haugh taking the "you can only learn these life lessons etc IN FOOTBALL", I simply asked if that was the case, did Haugh take that line, did he say that in the article or is it just what BernSTINE is taking from it? What "Anti-Bernstine" narrative did I present by asking that question?

From the Column: http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/football/bears/ct-spt-0603-haugh-chicago--20120603,0,2636201.column

-Experiences inform all of our parenting decisions. Mine tell me that if my son wanted to play football, the potential rewards outnumber the risks. Perhaps yours compel you to say your son never will take those chances. Both of us are right. I won't tell you how to raise your kid if you won't tell me how to raise mine.

-So far he prefers the kind of football the Fire play, and Messi and his idols on Man U play, not the Bears. My wife is relieved and I am happy if he is. But if his interests ever change and he asks dad about trying the sport he knows I appreciate, I would encourage him without hesitation.

-I feel confident my wife and I can teach those lessons to our 11-year-old son if he never plays football. I have little doubt he would learn them quicker if he does.

I read the article and the above quotes stick out (I know RPB posted them already), those don't look like a parent telling other parents that football is the only way to be a man and learn life lessons. Not even close and the rest of the article confirms that tone as well. I don't really disagree with BernSTINE on this either, it's just he shouldn't take an opinion article and scream about it for saying something that it clearly doesn't.

I'm not listening, just following the thread, but as annoying as Dan gets in these situations Terry doing what you guys mentioned is even more insufferable/unlistenable.

I'm a nerd and I checked it out. Coach Radtke was there from 77-86 and I found an old box score from a regional game that Haugh played in from 85.

This makes sense now why he thinks you have to play football. If anyone on earth had the fire and da pashin it was Coach Radtke. Made Ditka look like a choir boy.

Question

Concussion in children: What are the effects?
I'm concerned about childhood head injuries caused by contact sports. What are the possible effects of concussion in children?

Answer
from Sherilyn W. Driscoll, M.D.

Most sports-related head injuries, such as concussions — which temporarily interfere with the way the brain works — are mild and allow for complete recovery. However, concussion in children also can pose serious health risks, ranging from temporary memory lapses to fatal brain swelling. Also, concussion in children sometimes goes unrecognized, as symptoms may not be noticed right after the injury.

Head injuries take time to heal. Your child will need time to rest until his or her symptoms are completely gone, which usually takes several days. Your child should rest from both physical and thinking (cognitive) activities, as these can worsen symptoms.

After your child's head injury, your child risks other complications if he or she returns to sports and other activities before his or her concussion has healed. Another blow to the head while the initial concussion is healing can occasionally result in fatal brain swelling — a condition known as second impact syndrome. Also, a young athlete who sustains a concussion is at risk of developing postconcussion syndrome, which is characterized by persistent concussion symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, irritability and difficulty with thinking skills, such as memory and attention. These symptoms can be particularly confusing for a child, as well as his or her family and teachers, if the child doesn't realize he or she has had a concussion. Researchers continue to study other potential long-term effects of concussions. Once a child has sustained his or her first concussion, he or she is at a higher risk of sustaining another. The effects of multiple concussions over years can be cumulative.

To protect your child from head injuries, insist on appropriate and properly fitted protective equipment — such as a helmet — during sports and other activities. However, helmets and mouth guards don't protect against all concussions. Also, make sure your child knows that even a mild bump or blow to the head can cause a concussion, and that concussions don't always involve a loss of consciousness. Signs and symptoms of a concussion may include:

Headache or a feeling of "pressure" in the head
Nausea or vomiting
Balance problems or dizziness
Double or blurry vision
Sensitivity to light or noise
Feeling sluggish, groggy or dazed
Difficulty paying attention
Memory problems
Confusion
Numbness or tingling
Sleeping problems
Mood changes
If you think your child has sustained a concussion, seek medical help immediately. Your child's doctor will determine how serious the concussion is and when it's safe for your child to return to sports, school or other activities.

No doubt. Radtke is a legend around da region. Would love to see the box score, got a link?

Man, I fucking hate when they do this show! Even if they're responding to a column or something someone said, CTE/head injury stuff is just not entertaining radio to me. And I don't even disagree with them on the topic itself, but motherfuck man...this is just so boring to listen to. The same talking points over and over and over for the past 2+ years. Man...

"Cowabunga? Cowa fucking piece of dog shit! This game is diarrhea coming out of my dick!"

Oh hey, on this whole Sox-biased CTA thing:

Ignoring the likelihood that the south side trackage is in worse condition than the north side's, because well yeah, here's why you do the north side piecemeal and the south side at once:
North Side Red Line Stops, By Block Number:
76, 74, 70, 65, 62, 59, 56, 53, 50, 48, 46, 39, 36, 32, 24, 16

South Side Shutdown:
22, 35, 47, 55, 63, 69, 79, 87, 95

OBVIOUSLY the reason you don't shut down the entire north side is because the goddamn stations are like two or three blocks apart, and people who use Jarvis can just use Morse or Howard in the meantime, and vice versa, while someone who gets on at 87th can't well get on at 79th instead. THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T SHUT DOWN AN ENTIRE RAILROAD. SHIT. FOR. BRAINS.

Man, how they are extrapolating all this crap from Haugh's article is fucking hysterical. Totally tilting at windmills and thrashing at ghosts., classic B&B.

They are pretty much lying about the Haugh article, if not it's they are damn close.. You don't need to do that to get a very valid point across.

Football mythology in U.S. culture, power of coaches, damage caused etc are all valid, you don't need to take this line on arguing them.

It was a Regional Loss for NJ. Haugh had a fucking game though 11 catches for 151 yds and 2 TDs. Apparently Radtke didnt use the Wishbone offense until he came to Griffith. I think that might have been the season stats for one WR at Griffith.

_________________

Awesome thanks. Radtke ran the bone at NJ, but they had Kirk Manns as QB and he was a great athlete and could it all. Haugh caught 11 out of 13 completions. Impressive.

One of those mid 80s years with Radtke they set all kinds of rushing records and had I think 3 guys with over 1000 yds.

So they're accusing Haugh of being sexist in the article, but aren't these the same guts who belittle female athletes and female sports all the time?

Aren't these the same guys who questioned the gender of Britney Griner?

Uh, yeah, they are the gentlemen who said those things.
