    Turf sucks and no one knows if the injury would have been different and/or avoided were the situation to have occurred on grass.

    Does that mean get rid of domes? Not all can roll turf in and out especially in winter

    Not necessarily. There are ways to maintain some kind of grass in a dome.

    It would be expensive, but the NFL is rolling in billions of dollars.

    If they banned domes, it would not bother me one bit.

    BTW....all grass needs to be maintained is water and light.

    Daylight can easily be simulated artificially. There is a pretty substantial business for LED lighting for indoor marijuana growing.

    It could be accomplished relatively easily.

    The video you provided is quite clear. The reason he got injured was because his foot stuck on the turf.....then he was slightly stepped on. With grass, this does not happen.


    This is the moment he got hurt....before being stepped on....

    In that picture his foot is coming up. Either case like I said my son did four and none of them were during contact.

    Fair enough.

    The fact is that players HATE turf with a passion. It is a bane to the sport.

    They won't ban domes.

    If anything I could see domes being mandatory to level the playing field for gambling

    Re: Von Miller out for year

    Well, going by what Beane said "The doctor felt like it wasn't going to hold, and he needed to repair" sounds a bit more optimistic than an ACL tear. It sounds like wasn't actually completely torn?

    I have no idea if that makes a difference in recovery or whatever, or if they actually replaced the ACL like they normally do, or if they did something else?

    This makes quite a bit more sense. The timelines kinda don't make sense with all of this -- but there are plenty of parties that have to get onto the same page and conversations that have to take place that could describe the lack of movement on the surgery from the get go. Could even be evidence of learning done about some things.
