Not really looking to take seriously a man who is looking increasingly like a gene-splice between Mel Gibson from Lethal Weapon and Christopher Walken.
October 18th, 2016 at 1:10 PM ^
Absolutely a perfect comparison. Well done.

Its a 3:30 hour game with 11 minutes of action. You want to know whats hurting football....tv timeouts, but nevermind all that.
October 18th, 2016 at 12:51 PM ^
Are more prepared these days, than they were 10 - 15 yrs ago, with all the camps and 7 on 7 teams. It seems like football has become a year round sport. Sounds like sour grapes.

I wasn't going to click the link but after all the hair comments I had to. That look is straight from 1985, please don't ask how I know but it worked then.
I joke with my wife about being married and not needing to look good anymore. He has taken it to a new level.

a little cowboy mullet, maybe something like this:

Is that the official mullet of OSU football? Does he carry a portapotty(foam cooler) in the bed of his truck?

Before anyone completely dismisses Gundy, note that child obesity rates have skyrocketed, the military can't find young people in shape and is fatter than it ever was, there is medical research showing that cell phones cook your brain with miicrowaves, destroy sperm, and interfere with brain waves. Yes , and generally kids are a LOT more sedentary fat asses than ever in this country's history. A fact is a fact even if you don't like it!
By the way, flouride is in fact a neurotoxin.

Want to add stuff about chemtrails, too? Or moon landings?
EDIT: You are correct about obesity and yes, cell phones at max RF output can do rough things to you under prolonged exposure. It's not hard to prevent prolonged exposure in that mode, though, and even a few inches of separation lowers the power density appreciably. Just don't keep your phone in your bra or jock strap.

Monocle, spreading dangerous misinformation and underselling serious problems are not smile inducing.

Is this sort of like saying, "If every single kid did nothing but workout and play football 24x7 recruiting would be so much easier because there would be more talent for each team and therefore parity".
I guess he has a minor point but makes himself sound like Hugh "I need summers off" Freeze.

It's not cell phones that are hurting football, it's Rutgers that is hurting football.

Well Rice, it sure helped prevent resistance and organizing against oppression for 30 years before Black Lives Matter finally broke through! All it's done is sell Reaganism, selfishness & self interest, greed, shallowness, materialism, consumerism, capitalism, stepping on people as the way to get ahead, macho-ism, misogyny, violence, and focusing on gossipy Springer like personal soap opera bullshit RATHER than on the roots and facts of what is being done to them collectively, by design, by whom, why, how, and how to fight back collectively.
Look at Hoover and Cointelpro. Look at the CIA producing their own national faux art magazines & other methods of selling and promoting the idea of abstract art as hip, cool and advanced, and that meaningful social commentary and political art was unhip and uncool and somehow not the job or role of art and that it is lesser art!!! Look at how popular culture in general has treated the 60's protest movements and issues as jokes and caricatures, seem out of date and uncool and silly.
Look at the "war on drugs." Look at the Powel memo & how that has manifested, look at the Iran/Contra-inner city crack scandal & why poor black and brown areas were targeted. Look at all the other efforts to combat, squash, demonize and even kill the messengers and messages of freedom, justice, civil rights, black equality or power, protest, collective action or education about those issues, and then compare the themes and music of the civil rights movement and how that was joining people together in solidarity against the enemies and forces against them, to corporate promoted, sold and over sold rap and hip hop that, generally, preach everything the opposite, and put it all in context. Look at how well it all worked!

There's no question that the next generation of kids will be different, you know, just like every generation ever. Cell phones are certainly a major influence on this.
My grandparents thought we were going to grow up to be shiftless hobos because we watched TV instead of whittling and pushing iron circles with a stick. And how awesome are we?

I think you'll see more athletes with attributes similar to Jabrill Peppers', but I disagree on the socialization piece.
As a current college student, I see more kids using social media and other electronics to organize social events. Sure, you'll always have the kids who stay in all day and watch Youtube. But the considerable majority use iPhones and other tech to get to know other people better.

I think you're missing his point. He's not saying players are slower or weaker. He's saying they don't play backyard sports as much or spend as much time being involved in various athletic activities. Therefore, he says football instincts, etc. are more lacking than in past generations.
Just because we don't like Mike Gundy doesn't mean he's wrong about everything.

The "American family" is the breakdown of "the family."
2 parents + kids =/= a family.
Since the foggy beginngings of the human species families have been large agglomerations of 30+ people in a tight vicinity. Grandma's, grandpa's, uncles, aunts, cousins, wisdom, assistance, community.
It gone now.

but in a small way he makes a little bit of sense with his comments. I read an article recently that said our population has become more ADD because of cell phones and we're always looking at them and our attention span has decresed.......
