FAST TWITCH

young blood

The NFL kicks off this weekend. Despite the market headwinds, despite POTUS, despite the controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick — despite themselves — the attention and ratings will no doubt be fever pitch. Meanwhile, the NFL is getting younger. Meaning, the players on the field are getting younger. Arguably, younger players, playing for a relatively shorter period of time would mitigate the risk for serious injury. It will be fascinating to see if this trend becomes the new normal for the NFL.

DEEP DIVES

rock bottom

One of the greatest dangers a climber faces is rock fall. There is usually no warning and the consequences can be lethal. Most climbers are aware of the risks. What's more difficult to account for is trundling — when someone intentionally throws the rock from above. This riveting story recounts how a thrown rock led to renowned climber Pete Absolon's tragic death. (Outside Magazine)

 

exercise pills - slugball

hard to swallow

Exercise pills have been pushing their way into the market for a few years. New medications that, on some level, try to mimic the effects of exercise, come with questions about ethics and use cases. The reality is the pills could help the disabled or immobile — but could also become a dangerous crutch for otherwise physically capable people. (The Atlantic)
