Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll might be a 9/11 truther.
During a meeting with retired four-star general Peter Chiarelli, the Seahawks coach reportedly pressed the former high-ranking military official on most 9/11 conspiracy theories — particularly on whether or not a plane actually hit the Pentagon.

Sure, Rob Gronkowski is a football/party robot sent to earth to redefine our lame ideas of what it means to be awesome, HOWEVER enjoying the company of Justin Bieber is unforgivable.

A new study from researchers at Boston University draws a link between youth football and diminished cognitive ability.

A new study from the Boston Universtiy School of Medicine confirms a relationship between tackle football played by children younger than 12 and impaired brain development later in life.
The study was done on 42 former NFL players between the ages of 40 and 69 who were divided into two groups: Those who began playing tackle football before the age of 12, and those who began later. Participants underwent a large number of tests, ranging from psychiatric evaluations to neuroimaging. Players averaged seven to nine years in the NFL and 17-20 years of total play.
Results of the study determined that players subjected to repetitive head trauma before they turned 12 were more likely to experience cognitive impairment later in life. Researchers chose the age of 12 as their boundary due to previous studies on adolescent brain development.
Given standard neurological assessment tests, researchers found a "significant" difference between the results of the two groups. Those who began playing tackle football before the age of 12 produced mean scores that were not only noticeably lower than those of their counterparts, but that were below the standard deviation of the tests. That is to say, their scores were lower than that of the average test taker.
The researchers also asserted that though there was a divide between the cognitive function of the two groups, it doesn't prove that starting tackle football after turning 12 is any safer.
Participation in youth football dropped 9.5% between 2010 and 2012, likely due to greater awareness of the link between football (and repetitive head trauma, both concussive and non-concussive) and neurological damage.
Last year, the NFL attempted to settle a lawsuit filed on behalf of 5,000 former players for $675 million. But after further examination, a judge determined that the amount offer was not enough to cover the substantial medical needs of former players suffering from injuries sustained during, or as a result of, the game and rejected the deal.

Brandon Vandenburg and Cory Batey were convicted Tuesday of raping an unconscious woman in a dorm room in 2013.

The men were each charged with five counts of rape, and two counts of sexual battery for a 2013 incident in which they raped an unconscious 21-year-old student.
Vandenburg took photos and videos of the incident, which were recovered and shown to jurors during the two-week trial.
The men were drunk the night of the rape, according to their attorneys. The victim was drunk as well, and wasn't aware that the rape had taken place until Vanderbilt's investigation had already began, the Associated Press reported.
The incident came to light when Vanderbilt officials reviewed a dormitory surveillance video following a report of vandalism. When they reviewed the footage, they saw an unconscious woman being dragged into a dorm room. That is when they called Nashville Police, who opened an investigation.
Detectives asked the woman to get a physical examination, but she initially refused, still not knowing what had happened.
Vandenburg and Batey face years in prison when they're sentenced in March. Two other former players are facing charges in the incident, although their trials have yet to be scheduled.
