I still remember an incident involving a Syracuse cheerleader during an SU game many years ago. It was identical to the one that resulted in the restrictions. In that incident the cheerleader suffered a skull fracture. What I remember most is the girls' cries of pain as she was removed from the arena. You are going to have these kinds of injuries in any high risk acrobatic routine. The answer isn't to ban them, but to require safety precautions for the teams that perform them. It's all a matter of training.

Did anyone watch the player interviews during the college bowl games? The referances to the player's college major were a good indicator of what our colleges are promoting for their athletes.A lot of these kids who are not good enough to make it to the pros will be able to find a good job somewhere. Shovelling manure.

Broncos' Darrent Williams Is Shot Dead
No motive given for the shooting. Another tragedy brought on by senseless violence. Why?
