Around SBN: MLB Trade Deadline: Where each team stands right now

... the N.F.L.’s Injury and Safety Panel has found that the rate of anterior cruciate ligament injuries is 88 percent higher in games played on FieldTurf than on grass.

From the NYT's Fifth Down Blog. That's not good news from what is the NFL's most popular playing surface, and the surface of choice for almost every new stadium being built.

[site note: no links this morning because it's a barren wasteland out there, but we'll have a huge mock draft up very shortly for you to unload on.]

This turf thing could be a big deal

This also affects colleges and even high schools. I know several Nashville area high schools that have field turf, and I am sure that many others have it as well.

I’m an early bird and a night owl. So I’m wise and I have worms.

There's nothing like....

real grass. I know it’s harder to maintain…but…these injuries are really gonna take their toll. If you’ve ever been tackled on both, then you know what I mean.
