Who made this remark? I may resemble it, but only my Mom can call me that.

Did a uncertified person do the original fitting since Don wasn't there?Comet65 said:Don't shoot the messenger but Don is too busy to respond, however, he did say that to his knowledge there are no certified equipment fitting people in Waldorf, as he runs the Equipment Fitting Organization. This means an uncertified person altered a factory helmet which is a NO-NO.
Maybe you missed "no one would help me so I had it professionally altered"Comet65 said:If you had a problem with the helmet Don who is certified would have been happy to help you.
Does Don assume liability for the headaches and doctor visit due to the misfitting of the helmet originally?Comet65 said:You and your expert have assumed the entire liability of fitting. Don hopes that the helmet is more comfortable but hopes it is safe.
Does he have time for that?Comet65 said:He will be glad to inspect it for your son's safety.
WELL PUTJust Me said:What ever happened to the good old days? I'm an ex St. Mary's Co. pigskin football player (77-80) and high school ball after that. The coaches padded you up, mom boiled some water and made your mouth piece fit. I can still feel the excrutiating burn/pain. Practice three times a week and games on Saturday. Trust me, not everyone's helmet and or pads fit and no one ever was seriously injured. For the most part, the guy's and a girl I played with enjoyed just playing football and didn't complain. You now why? We didn't have all of these whyne "a" parent's complaining about every little thing that goes wrong in a league. Quit trying to pretend you can shelter your child from the realities in life and pretend your offended by someone's vulgar language. Have you walked through the halls of a middle/high school lately? It's football people. A violent sport. By the way, cancelling a football game because it's too cold , too rainy, I'm worried about my kid getting hurt, BS, you just don't want to be out there watching your kid in it. Football's all about "MAH" Mobile, Agile and Hostile. Get over it.
Whooee are you out of touch. A lot has happened in tewnty five years, especialy in Southern Maryland. Checked out sports insurance rates lately? Don isn't exagerating when he says it costs a lot more to run this league than just registration fees.Just Me said:What ever happened to the good old days?

The Cowboys won? What was the score? I could not go because I had to clean out the equipment room last night.smilin said:Whooee are you out of touch.

The game hasn't changed much, but everything else has.
The parents still come out to see their kids. Some people even show up on cold, windy, rainy nights like last night to see somebody else's team play.
Great game Browns, and congratulations on your win Cowboys!
I wanted to check out the game, but we had practice last night.Msd_plumbing said:The Cowboys won? What was the score? I could not go because I had to clean out the equipment room last night.
