After seeing field turf in action at my high school stadium, I have no doubts that this is the best course of action judging by how badly the grass has performed here.

Kyyle23 Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 FWIW Adam Schefter is reporting that Cushing was busted with HCG in his system, which is not a steroid, but rather what users take when they are cycling off steroids. It is what Canseco was caught smuggling in the states, and what Man Ram was suspended for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would explain his impressive chesticles in the picture posted earlier on in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MurcieOne Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 sooooo the writers agree to revote the Defensive ROY award and just elect Cushing the Defensive ROY year again? That seems like a waste of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll cheer too - when they actually do it. You'd think that it would be smart for team business for them to make sure that their players stay healthy and safe.

HuskyCaucasian Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 The Bears are morons: Bears will stick with grass at Soldier Field If the Bears offense plays faster this year, it won't be because of the playing surface at Soldier Field. Bears President Ted Phillips recently met with Chicago Park District general superintendent Tim Mitchell about the possibility of converting the field from grass to an artificial surface, but there are no plans to do so this year. The Park District was interested in changing the surface — despite a busy summer schedule at the stadium that includes five concerts — but the Bears indicated they aren't.

Chisoxfn Posted May 14, 2010 Share Posted May 14, 2010 Sounded like the Bears wanted to wait until there was further research done on the field surface before making the change. I guess I can understand that. Albeit the Bears grass just gets beaten up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers seem to indicate that more injuries occur on that stuff than on grass though. Albeit it is far better than old fashioned astro turf.

Mr. Showtime Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Boers and Bernise talked about this on the SCORE months ago, and someone called up and said that they won't put in the turf because of soccer. That whatever governing body controls the international games played at Soldier Field doesn't allow the games to be played on that surface and only natural grass. I have no idea if that is true, but it would make sense as the Park District would be losing out on money if the soccer games were no longer held there. But who knows.
