Late in his team’s game against the Green Bay Packers on September 15, Indianapolis Colts tight end Kylen Granson caught a short pass over the middle of the field, charged forward, and lowered his body to brace for contact. The side of his helmet smacked the face mask of linebacker Quay Walker, and the back of it whacked the ground as Walker wrestled him down. Rising to his feet after the 9-yard gain, Granson tossed the football to an official and returned to the line of scrimmage for the next snap.

Aside from it being his first reception of the 2024 National Football League season, this otherwise ordinary play was only noteworthy because of what Granson was wearing at the time of the hit: a 12-ounce, foam-padded, protective helmet covering called a Guardian Cap.

Already mandatory for most positions at all NFL preseason practices, as well as regular-season and postseason practices with contact, these soft shells received another vote of confidence this year when the league greenlit them for optional game use, citing a roughly 50 percent drop in training camp concussions since their official 2022 debut. Through six weeks of action this fall, only 10 NFL players had actually taken the field with one on, according to a league spokesperson. But the decision was easy for Granson, who tried out his gameday Guardian Cap—itself covered by a 1-ounce pinnie with the Colts logo to simulate the design of the helmet underneath—in preseason games before committing to wear it for real.

Yeah, I think the NFL should start looking into hiring older players, especially with the amount of anabolic steroid usage, like maybe no one should play at all till the age of 30 or 40 so they don’t screw their lives up. Not saying anabolic steroids are bad but sports aren’t really good for children and neither was school, but working was. And everyone ruined that. Making someone feel old is never a good thing.

Yeah way to impress adults that watch the games, no one actually watched sports in high school besides the losers that played them, everyone else was working and self employed. They actually were supposed to be doing population control through overpopulation for the NFL or other sports to exist. That’s why no one played or hung around or wanted to go pro. It was all bad.

The NFL can’t really exist because certain areas depend on foreign business men, so basically the games couldn’t be rigged and fake owners or stock or share holders can’t exist. Especially with online shopping and all they may not import or export meaning buy or sell to/from other places. Everyone who actually did this whole capitalism thing was like a new mafia called the Russian mafia and operates through hotels. And look at Trump back in there. And also no one would use social media because of people or single people or celebrities and nudity and competition, what the fuck does that say to areas like Detroit that lost in the playoffs but everyone comes here to Michigan to get high and smuggle weed in or out. Seems like a crack epidemic in small numbers takes place. Meaning anyone who actually talked or wrote anything starts smoking the rock. Also no one would repay debt when competition is like that with other things and foreign banks or embezzlement funding it, anyone who witnessed anything in person or knew real details wouldn’t bother investing or doing anything, they were forced into it. Debt does not exist in capitalism unless you speak to people and somehow convince them for some kind of front or loan, if they offer it was probably an abundance of free or naturally farmed or grown stuff.

Sounds like a war will go on instead of sport games.

So real business men wouldn’t watch sports. But then again that place in New York and Pennsylvania is just where they sell all the stuff they stole from the Detroit sole proprietor.

It’s just like this with city governments and news broadcasts because of the NFL meaning Detroit Lions airing every game on free to air television. It started in 2009. Before like 2006 games were only over the air and just Native American tribes playing it and switching out.

I guess the lions aren’t cable TV enough, or they just do this whole entire thing from the west that we will never visit but look at that they use our money and now traveling west became weird because there’s giant numbers of Africans, Asians, or South Americans there or it’s just Africa doing this there. But that’s the mobile phone and similar customer base. Everyone in the East in thiefs, this is why we stuck to selling pills and high grade pot and gambling, no one would ever be able to steal that money. If someone on Xanax didn’t kill you then they forgot.

Western Europe was better for us as ford and automobile users/makers.

The lions can’t actually win they have a real stadium that’s owned by a car company that operates as a monopoly and controls the real United States government and currency, because it’s a fake country with fake history, it’s just fords game you all play. Actual television watchers hate sports entirely.

What if we said we were so competitive in sports that foreigners can’t come to the area or state or play for the professional sports teams. This is also why the music industry hated sports and or the arenas, it almost became the same thing with music groups and then stealing songs and money. And then losers break into the industry trying to do the same thing through checking accounts and deposits at bank branches.

The real music industry was more depressing and lonely than the porn industry, but look at that real porn sold had music in it. The other porn the porn industry just watched, no one else needed it reality based or to hear talking.
