Unless you follow country music I am not sure why you would know who Carrie is.

Or you follow American Idol, I guess.

You could be a hockey fan!

Also, she's more pop than country and has a pretty drat good voice. It's almost like saying you don't know who Drake is because you don't listen to hip hop.

I am excited to watch Detroit come out and let down the entire fan base on national television.

Mr. Williams was killed when his mobile home, parked on a precarious incline and unable to bear the weight of all his rowdy friends, broke free of its moorings and plunged into a sinkhole.

Clearly the answer to the recognizability of whoever sings the Monday Night Song is to do it with someone with talent.

What I'm saying is, if you're going to go country, go Loretta Lynn.

Well we've seen how Peyton doesn't care about how many concussions you have and will kill your brain, just like he did to Austin Collie.

I'd argue that wasn't really about "caring about player safety" so much as "having to do something because keeping the media from throwing a poo poo-fit was forcing their hand."

Weren't they already testing it, or was that what that amphetamine part was about? Pretty sure it's the 2nd thing, but my memory is hazy.

Let's continue to ignore it. That way this time next year when bigger names are suspended days before the season begins, it'll be more amazing and unexpected.

No, the NFLPA never came to an agreement about HGH testing because they didn't want Goodell to have sole power over the test results- it was one of the key parts of the lockout that never really got resolved. Apparently the NFL's other drug-related policies are so harmful that the NFLPA has given up the pipe dream of making Roger Goodell accountable to anyone else.

The good news is that apparently they have to do a lot of preliminary testing to establish a baseline before they start handing out suspensions. It might take a few years and if they're prevalent enough you might not see too many people affected.

Yeah, exogenous HGH administration isn't like insulin where is possible to detect natural from non-natural sources. At least to my knowledge it isn't. So it would suck for a guy to get banned over an over-active pituitary gland, or even small tumor. So even if the NFLPA bows to this, its going to take years and a leap in medical science to prove definitively.
