I didn't think it was a secret that banging your head repeatedly isn't good for you. You know what else isn't good for you? Smoking, drinking, bacon, soft drinks, McDonalds, running too much (knees), red meat, cell phones, staring at computer screens, cheetos, f**king everything that is enjoyable.We should all stay home in padded rooms with bottles of purell and Midol. Freakin panzies.

""I find it really ridiculous that he's saying that concussions don't cause long-term cognitive problems," Sanchez said. "I think most people you ask on the street would figure that repeated blows to the head aren't good for you.""Congress is retarded. It doesn't matter what "most people you ask on the street" think. Science is about doing research and gathering empirical evidence. If the data indicates a correlation between head injuries and cognitive disorders then it does, and if it doesn't it doesn't. There is no logical reason why repeated brain injuries HAVE to lead to cognitive problems. This is exactly why research needs to be done to arrive at a tentative scientific conclusion.I really don't know why we (the voters) are so insistent that our leaders be intellectually mediocre.When they aren't coming up with stupid laws that have childish contrived acronyms like U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. (Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism) Act and C.A.N.S.P.A.M. (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography And Marketing) Act, they are figuring out how to tackle "touch" problems like steroids in baseball or the inadequate college football ranking system.It's very telling that the name of these acts seems to be what matters most. Afterall, who needs to actually read the f**king bill if it's got a cool name. What terrorist piece of s**t wouldn't do the p.a.t.r.i.o.t.i.c. thing and vote for the patriot act? No need to read it.f**king idiots.Do they realize how f**king stupid an acronym where U.S.A. stands for "Uniting and Strengthening America" sounds?I realize it was right after 9/11, but holy s**t, are you guys in 2nd grade?
