My question for tomorrow's Scott Shafer Show

[SWC75]

Scott Shafer, per the schedule posted to Cuse.com on August 26th, will have a show tomorrow but not next week. I've just sent in this question:

"Coach, you said last week that football is “the greatest sport ever invented”. Bud Poliquin calls it “the sport that eats it’s young”. He’s concerned about the number and seriousness of the injuries player suffer. Considering the physical cost of playing the game, why do you call it the greatest sport and what do you tell parents who are wondering if their kids should play this game?"


You can call in questions at 1-888-7-Go Cuse (746-2873) or, locally 424-8599. You can also send them in advance at this site:

You can also contact them via Twitter (@SUSportsNetwork) using #AskShafe.
The show can be heard in Syracuse on FM 99.5. It’s sometime simulcast on AM 1200 or FM 97.7. You can also get it on: http://tunein.com/radio/WGVA-1240-s29191/

I believe that's a "Curb Your Enthusiasm" reference.

I know that that's where it's from but what does it mean in relation to what I posted? I'm whiffing on this one.

Sounds like Bud has been reading Malcolm Gladwell. (although I would never confuse Bud with Malcolm)
