Given the stadiums are packed and people are shelling out 300 a ticket like its buying a pack of gum I'd say it will be decades before we see any drop off.

Exactly what I was thinking, only I was thinking $600, not $300, because the cheapest ticket you can get to a Bears game is $610, and then you pay for parking at Soldier Field.  The cheapest parking pass for a Bears game is $209.  And those sellout.  So yeh, not too worried about football dying out anytime soon.

Well yeah the bears are the only game in town right now. My buddy cant even give his blackhawk tickets away. He sold his crap seat tickets for 1000 each when they were in the stanley cup. I cant beluve what people will pay for an nfl game. I cant justify when my kids want a mexico vacation instead.

Exactly.  I tend to think of it in terms of travel and family too. I could pay several months of my girlfriend's parents mortgage for that, or take her to China for $800.  When you think of it in those terms, don't you wonder how people can justify that expense for a football game, and are you not shocked and do you not do a double-take when people brag about it?  When people brag like that I always wonder how someone could be so completely unaware of how so much of the rest of the world lives, or simply just not even care.  I have concluded that one must work very hard to keep from cluttering the mind and the soul with such thoughts.

China for 800 bucks? Thats a good deal.

Ive had top notch seats to baseball and NBA games but the tickets were always free through work or connections. Ive got 4th row center court tickets to the indiana vs minnesoata game in february. Again a season ticket holder gave them to me cause he will be in arizona.

Yes.  I am all about researching, and spending my money wisely to pay for more awesome things like that.  I researched buying my new jeep for 2 months, and saved $10,000 by doing that.  I literally became an expert in the jeep market in the US in just a little over 2 months, and almost as much an expert in flights to and from China, Japan, Singapore.  I can save money and hassle on the Chinese Visa by including third, and even fourth and fifth cities of travel to and from other countries in the region too.  

PM me if you are considering taking the family to China.  I can share with you what I know so far, and save you tons of money.

Right, I get that.  And I also get having tickets to entertain big time clients too.  But I do not understand just throwing away $800 per person on a football game just because you can.  Almost everybody can do that.  Most find something more worthwhile to do with the money though.  Not something to brag about, more like something to be ashamed of lol.

I may check back with you about China ticket ideas. We adopted a couple of kids from China and planned to return when they were in HS. Time has flown by and we should start planning for that soon.

I’m not confirming or denying the legitimacy of this but I read that Rob’s aunt said he escaped with no concussion, just a bad headache. Anyone else hear anything of that nature?

Back in high school a couple of my friends who played football would get a concussion every once in a while. The longest I can remember someone being out for was 3 weeks; they’re not typically as bad as Race’s and I’m blown away with what’s been going on with him. Hopefully he takes the necessary time to heal and get back to 100% but I’d be shocked if Rob wasn’t back by Illinois and if not for Michigan. .

Archie is talking to the media now. Obviously, someone asked about Rob. I missed the first part of his answer, but he said Rob was feeling much better than Wednesday night, but was still in concussion protocol. 

I don't know if he ruled Rob out vs. Jacksonville, but I would presume that's the case.

As expected. I assume he’ll continue to get better during break and hope he and everyone else takes the opportunity to rest up and come back better than ever

I question some of the “science”

There, I said it....

Why? On what basis? What are your questions? 

You're a doctor, so I'm assuming you're fairly familiar with the process for obtaining evidence and linking diseases to causes. Seems odd to just state you doubt the science without explaining your logic.

OK, question for someone who knows how athletic training works these days: Do you actually have to have a concussion to be in concussion protocol? ... I saw a report that indicated Phinisee actually suffered a concussion, but I don't know if anybody had confirmed that -- or maybe the report was just based on the fact that he was in protocol.

I assumed protocol was just making sure everything was OK and there were no lingering affects from the injury before releasing the athlete to participate. I'm thinking that Rob isn't playing Saturday as a precaution, to give him extra time to recover and because we should be OK without him. When I initially saw the play Wednesday night, it didn't look all that bad. Then again, appearances can be deceiving. I remember Brian Roberts (former Orioles 2B) got mad because he struck out and hit himself in the helmet with his bat -- and ended up with a concussion.

I view this in a positive manner that he'll likely only miss tomorrow's game.

Indiana head coach Archie Miller updated his status on Friday afternoon.

“He’s still in concussion protocol.  I don’t think he feels great.  He won’t be available tomorrow.  From that point forward moving on how he recovers we’ll see post-Christmas but he’s feeling better.  I think each day since the night of the game he’s gotten a little better, but he’s still in protocol.”

Im going to the Browns game Sunday. My ticket was $40 and it will only cost me $5 to park($20 per car). In the past December Browns game tickets were under $10 lol
