And, in what is becoming far too common: Sacrifices to the altar of football...

I seem to be getting these quite a bit the last several years.

Two reported college fatalities due to football on the field this weekend.

The first is a Division II player.

Midwestern State's Robert Grays was sacrificed to the religion of football after a tackle in his game over the weekend.

The other is Clayton Geib of the College of Wooster -- complaining he didn't feel well after the Saturday game, succumbed to the effects of football the next day.

None of this should be surprising:  A report today indicates that FBS targeting ejection calls are up by nearly 75% from last year.  The ESPN article tries to cover it by saying referees are more comfortable, now, in ejecting players.

If you are paying attention, you know the truth, and I saw this on one of the calls this weekend (LSU-Mississippi State) -- the players are getting more blatant in DELIBERATELY using their heads as injury-weapons.
