Didn't look at it --- had the external feel of a virus inserter.
On the question of the Future of Football, though, THAT's a profound question for anyone on IE. To me there are several possibilities based on the injury issue alone.
1). Football can radically change to avoid all head contact and all knee contact --- all contact must be thigh to shoulder. The most radical suggestion would be (paradoxically) the elimination of the Helmet. (having no helmets would be a rather big incentive to not use one's own head as a weapon.) One would be interested in knowing the relative risk for injury between football and rugby, or even Australian rules, for instance.
2). Football can go no tackling at all.
3). Football can (sort of) stay the same but outlaw all play below high school as anything but touch/flag. High school have severe "no head use" rules. College have instant replay on all severe hits; placing offending hitters in the locker room for two games along with their coach. Obviously intentional act-to-injure resulting in banning for at least a season in college, and period in pros. etc.
4). Football can go on basically just as it is with extra "retirement" compensation for players with chronic injuries, but essentially "thanks for the memories."
5). Football lumbers on, sporadically making minimal publicity-motivated non-changes to keep the gladiatorial games and the violent fun going. Devil take the hindmost.
I strongly believe that #5 is how the future will be. Only some gigantic money-taking court case might change that. There's such huge economic power here, plus a populace who couldn't conceive of life with no "pure" football, regardless of the "bad luck" of some players.
I recall a Doonesberry cartoon of two announcers calling a football game.
"Wow! What a Hit!!!"
"VERY Hard!!!
"Bradkowski is still down. What a Hit!!!"
".............."
" Uh. ...... Bradkowski is dead ........."
".............."
"But what a great Ovation the fans are giving him!!!!!"
