You otter (I couldn't resist) go to (I know it's not a real word, thank you) to the game at Dorsey park (6:30) tonight. The Cowboys use almost a pro set offense that is totally dominating. The Browns are a solid TEAM. They block and tackle with great form. Look out for the passing - both teams do that well too.
Since the Browns are a Central team they should win handily!

I got to be at Lenny Kravitz Dent by 0830 on Saturday. That means I have to leave the house about 0630. That sucks kinda glad to see the season end.

Altered St. Mary's Pigskin Helmet

4hugger said:
As for the uniform fitting....Don did NOT do our uniform fitting...we were told to be at the location on a Sat afternoon and waited an hour before someone (not Don...not really sure who) showed up.....my sons helmet fit so badly that he had severe headaches for a week and then earaches....took him to Dr. thinking it was an infection....turned out the helmet was so tight it was pushing his jaw forward...no one would help me so I had it professionally altered in Waldorf and had custom made pads put in.

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. If you had a problem with the helmet Don who is certified would have been happy to help you. You and your expert have assumed the entire liability of fitting. Don hopes that the helmet is more comfortable but hopes it is safe. He will be glad to inspect it for your son's safety.

Did a uncertified person do the original fitting since Don wasn't there?

Maybe you missed "no one would help me so I had it professionally altered"
Comet65 said:

Does Don assume liability for the headaches and doctor visit due to the misfitting of the helmet originally?

Does he have time for that?

Frankly, your chastising of hugger4 could have been handled in a private message instead of you coming out on the open board and wagging your finger at him or her. Hugger4 was commenting on problems from 'uniform fitting' day. Your concern should be wanting to know how the kid got a helmet that didn't fit from one of your people, not liability.

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.
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!

My husband is certified to fit equipment. As far as I know there are only two people in this area that are, and that is Don and my husband. Another thing that I would like to address is that a helment can not push a jaw. My husband knows what he is doing, and his top priority are the kids safety. All of the first year kids complain about their helments, it just takes a lot to get used to. If a kid came to Don needing their equipment checked, he would check it. Also safety is the first priority for Don also.

We play this Saturday, first game on field 1. I think we had a great season. Great parents, and great kids. I am so glad that we didn't take this season off.

Cowboys 7 - Browns 0 One heck of a game.

As far as helmets go here's a little tip. Get the hat fitted with longer hair THEN get a cut. That way you won't get the beginning of the season headsqueeze. As the hair grows back the hat will fit tighter. Don't forget the kids tylenol - works too.
