At first glance, the idea may seem really dumb. I thought so too until I read the article. This guy is to the only one who raises the possibility of the league folding due to head inuries.

This is an interesting article released last week about the ramifications of head injuries and the potential lawsuits that go along with them. Long story short, if insurance companies refuse to insure high school or college teams due to lawsuits based on head injuries (suicide with CTE present at autopsy), it would be very difficult to get people to sanction any kind of amateur game when referees and coaches would be opened up to multimillion dollar lawsuits.

The article goes on to say that if it is uninsurable, and with no feeder systems in place, the league could easily fold.

Ryan Howard donated over a million dollars to the school district of philadelphia for 57 high school athletic programs to get adidas equipment. Really cool to see in the wake of the former superintendent filing for unemployment.

This was linked on my home page on Facebook by a fellow Phillies fan. Amazin' Avenue gets credit for giving me my first big laugh of the day. I wasn't able to watch the All-Star game, but I feel like this is really all I needed to see.

I'm only posting this because I think his "weakness" is hilarious.

The title pretty much says it all. This is amazing once you see where people like Albert Pujols sit this season.
