...as I don't do Netflix. Saw it last night on Starz. (Don't do that, either, but it was a free weekend) But this one is well worth sitting down with a big bowl of fresh buttered popcorn. Recommended. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3322364/ |

We were talking about that movie last night at Day-After-Thanksgiving dinner. Yes, it's definitely worth a watch. Will Smith was great. |

Saw it. I second the recommendation. They did a great job with it. |

The Confederate soldier was peculiar in that he was ever ready to fight, but never ready to submit to the routine duty and discipline of the camp or the march. The soldiers were determined to be soldiers after their own notions, and do their duty, for the love of it, as they thought best. Carlton McCarthy | |

Football definitely ain't for sissies. Here's the problem...Mass x Acceleration. The following chart is for the NFL: http://www.aragorn.org/visualization/nfl/features/draft_player_evolution/ |

Fascinating chart, Jolly. Remember when we thought Perry ("The Refrigerator") was big? |

Wow, I had no idea how heavy they've gotten. I stopped watching after the players strike in the mid eighties. |

It's not just heavy, it's speed and strength, too. You don't notice the speed of the pro game, because everyone is quick. The Saints left tackle, Terron Armstead, is 6'5", well over 300 pounds and runs a 4.71 forty yard dash. That's faster than anybody on my old high school football team. Anybody. |

Good movie but very disturbing considering my now 15-yo great nephew has had 3 concussions from playing hockey. He's had to go through extensive cognitive therapy. The kid is ADHD so he really benefited from the intense physical activity. After the Dr. said "no more contact sports" I suggested gymnastics or some form of dance to his dad (my nephew), for which I was nearly caned. Now it's Track and Field. |

Lots of exercise and activity there, depending on what events he pursues. My pastor's dad is a very famous football coach and he did play for his dad, but the high school sport he excelled in, paid his way through college. He was a pole vaulter. Guy is still in great shape. |

I quit watching baseball after the player strike. Once Steve Garvey, Johnny Bench, and the other greats were gone, and Pete Rose got busted for betting against his own team, the player strike was the last straw. I even quit watching boxing, because I got tired of seeing these guys fight their hearts out, and get completely fvcked by a rigged decision. I just got disgusted with professional sports, in general. |
