As research comes out, we’ll be happy to make changes indicated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research to date has already compelled the league to make some changes. Over the past eight years, Pop Warner set up its medical advisory committee, eliminated kickoffs in the youngest age groups and mandated safety training for coaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It also did away with full-speed tackling drills during practice, said medical adviser Bailes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s the exposure to thousands of blows to the head is really what we’re trying to reduce,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics say the league still hasn’t done enough.

Researchers have subsequently confirmed CTE in more than 100 deceased NFL players. Will Smith played Omalu in the 2015 film “Concussion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very basic common sense,” said Omalu. “There is no safe blow to the human head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite efforts to improve the safety of football helmets, he argues that the danger cannot be prevented with any helmet currently in existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A child, after one game, could suffer permanent brain damage,” said Omalu. “After just one season of football, your child could suffer permanent brain damage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why Omalu believes only people over 18 should play contact sports. Adults could still suffer serious damage, but they’re old enough to consent to the risk, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Football is a good sport, an exciting sport for adults who want to play,” Omalu said, while adding, “we need to protect our children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648127\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11648127\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/PeterBoehm-800x600.jpg\" alt='Peter Boehm, 14-year-old quarterback of the Pop Warner L.A.

As research comes out, we’ll be happy to make changes indicated.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The research to date has already compelled the league to make some changes.

Researchers have subsequently confirmed CTE in more than 100 deceased NFL players. Will Smith played Omalu in the 2015 film “Concussion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s very basic common sense,” said Omalu. “There is no safe blow to the human head.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite efforts to improve the safety of football helmets, he argues that the danger cannot be prevented with any helmet currently in existence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A child, after one game, could suffer permanent brain damage,” said Omalu. “After just one season of football, your child could suffer permanent brain damage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s why Omalu believes only people over 18 should play contact sports. Adults could still suffer serious damage, but they’re old enough to consent to the risk, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Football is a good sport, an exciting sport for adults who want to play,” Omalu said, while adding, “we need to protect our children.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11648127\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11648127\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/02/PeterBoehm-800x600.jpg\" alt='Peter Boehm, 14-year-old quarterback of the Pop Warner L.A.

I watch their position,” she said. She has had a lot of practice watching defensive linebackers and said her boys play a lot alike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Watching them on the field, you would kind of forget which one of them you were there watching because everything about them, their stance when they're lined up, everything’s the same,” Thagon said. “Or when they’re squatted down, they’re squatting the same way with the same knee up. It’s crazy.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She knows only one team can win, which means one of her sons will be disappointed. But they don’t talk about the losses. They move on.

They’re both great athletes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But worried about the long-term health outcomes for football players, Marvin doesn’t want his sons to play more than 10 years. Mychal’s already in his sixth NFL season, and Marvin would like to see him get a Super Bowl win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I’d like to see Mychal go this time,\" he said later in our interview. “Philly hasn’t gone and he’s been in the league six years now.

She wouldn’t dream of taking sides, but says other fans sometimes look at her funny when she cheers for both teams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When they’re playing like that against each other, I just watch them. I watch their position,” she said. She has had a lot of practice watching defensive linebackers and said her boys play a lot alike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Watching them on the field, you would kind of forget which one of them you were there watching because everything about them, their stance when they're lined up, everything’s the same,” Thagon said. “Or when they’re squatted down, they’re squatting the same way with the same knee up.

"content": "\u003cp>Football season is here. You probably know the Rams are back in Los Angeles after spending 20 years in St. Louis. But did you know the Rams were the first modern NFL team to sign African-American players? Sportswriter \u003ca href=\"https://gretchenatwood.com/\">Gretchen Atwood\u003c/a> traces this history in her new book, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/lost-champions-9781620406021/\">\"Lost Champions.\"\u003c/a> She talked with \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Sasha Khokha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/283269633\" params=\"color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Many people know the role Jackie Robinson played in integrating major league baseball in 1947. But your book traces how Kenny Washington and Woody Strode broke pro football's color line a year earlier, in 1946. Tell me about these guys.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>GRETCHEN ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: They both grew up in Los Angeles, and got recruited to UCLA. Kenny grew up in Lincoln Heights, which was mostly an Italian or Irish immigrant neighborhood. His family may have been the only African-American family in the neighborhood. He had wanted to go to Notre Dame, but they didn't play black players. He and Woody got recruited to UCLA as sophomores in 1937, and pretty much put UCLA football on the map for the first time. Jackie Robinson came on and played with them on the 1939 UCLA Bruin team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why was Los Angeles the place where integration happened in pro football?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: There was a very involved black press in L.A., with three major black newspapers. Those sportswriters pushed really hard for the team to integrate. No West Coast city had a major pro franchise until the Rams moved in 1946. They were trying to get a lease for the L.A. Coliseum. This was a moment when the black sportswriters knew they could pressure the L.A. Coliseum commission to potentially withhold a lease until the team tried out black players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your book traces how racial covenants were playing out in L.A. at the time. There were these racially restrictive housing covenants.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: At one time, it was estimated that 80 percent of the housing in Los Angeles was covered by racially restrictive housing covenants. That meant black residents, and Asian, Latino, Catholic or Jewish residents wouldn't be allowed to rent or buy in certain areas. That was playing out at the same time football was integrating. Some of Kenny and Woody's peers in the sports world, including two boxers, were told they had to leave their properties. Nat King Cole is another example of someone who was evicted because of these covenants. On the national scene, this was all playing out during a backlash after World War Two, when there was a rise in attacks and lynchings, including against black service members. A lot of these attacks happened in 1946, which was the same time Kenny and Woody were preparing to step out on the field for the L.A. Rams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In researching your book, you talked to family members, like Karin Washington Cohen, Kenny Washington's daughter. We called her up, too, and she told us some of her dad's experiences on the field. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>\"He was the target out there,\" Cohen said. \"They stepped on his hands. They ground the chalk on the field into his eyes. I think he just took that as part of the job. Not just the football playing job, but the job of being the first black guy out there. He was a very good target.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: Kenny and Woody faced hostility from just about everyone. Some fans were supportive, some were very hostile. Opposing coaches were hostile. So were opposing players. There's a scene in the book where Kenny's out of the play, and on the ground, and one of the opponents runs by him and takes a swing with his foot to kick him in the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you think Kenny Washington and Woody Strode would make of\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Colin Kaepernick's protests on the field today?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: They didn't have the luxury of protesting, in a sense, because they had to \"go along to get along,\" just to stay on the team. If they did anything like Colin did, the teams would have cut them. I think they would be supportive of the general belief, but they probably wouldn't be able to connect that well with the idea that here is a guy who can actually take that stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why have we heard so much about Jackie Robinson, yet Kenny and Woody's stories have been largely ignored?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: First of all, football wasn't as popular as baseball at the time. But also, Kenny and Woody's stories can't be told as tales of unabashed triumph over racism. Jackie did end up winning the World Series, did get an MVP, had a long career. Kenny and Woody were both near the ends of their career when they were signed by the Rams, because when they were at their peak, the NFL wasn't yet signing black players. They didn't have the same level of success. So what their stories do is to challenge the idea that racism was overcome when it was faced, and also the idea that if you hard enough, you can succeed, the American Dream. They tried just as hard as Jackie. In many ways, they were just as talented as Jackie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

But did you know the Rams were the first modern NFL team to sign African-American players? Sportswriter \u003ca href=\"https://gretchenatwood.com/\">Gretchen Atwood\u003c/a> traces this history in her new book, \u003ca href=\"http://www.bloomsbury.com/us/lost-champions-9781620406021/\">\"Lost Champions.\"\u003c/a> She talked with \u003cem>The California Report's\u003c/em> Sasha Khokha.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cdiv class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__shortcodes__shortcodeWrapper'>\n \u003ciframe width='100%' height='166'\n scrolling='no' frameborder='no'\n src='https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/283269633&visual=true&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_comments=true&show_user=true&show_reposts=false'\n title='https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/283269633'>\n \u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/div>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Many people know the role Jackie Robinson played in integrating major league baseball in 1947. But your book traces how Kenny Washington and Woody Strode broke pro football's color line a year earlier, in 1946. Tell me about these guys.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>GRETCHEN ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: They both grew up in Los Angeles, and got recruited to UCLA. Kenny grew up in Lincoln Heights, which was mostly an Italian or Irish immigrant neighborhood. His family may have been the only African-American family in the neighborhood. He had wanted to go to Notre Dame, but they didn't play black players. He and Woody got recruited to UCLA as sophomores in 1937, and pretty much put UCLA football on the map for the first time. Jackie Robinson came on and played with them on the 1939 UCLA Bruin team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why was Los Angeles the place where integration happened in pro football?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: There was a very involved black press in L.A., with three major black newspapers. Those sportswriters pushed really hard for the team to integrate. No West Coast city had a major pro franchise until the Rams moved in 1946. They were trying to get a lease for the L.A. Coliseum. This was a moment when the black sportswriters knew they could pressure the L.A. Coliseum commission to potentially withhold a lease until the team tried out black players.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Your book traces how racial covenants were playing out in L.A. at the time. There were these racially restrictive housing covenants.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: At one time, it was estimated that 80 percent of the housing in Los Angeles was covered by racially restrictive housing covenants. That meant black residents, and Asian, Latino, Catholic or Jewish residents wouldn't be allowed to rent or buy in certain areas. That was playing out at the same time football was integrating. Some of Kenny and Woody's peers in the sports world, including two boxers, were told they had to leave their properties. Nat King Cole is another example of someone who was evicted because of these covenants. On the national scene, this was all playing out during a backlash after World War Two, when there was a rise in attacks and lynchings, including against black service members. A lot of these attacks happened in 1946, which was the same time Kenny and Woody were preparing to step out on the field for the L.A. Rams.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>In researching your book, you talked to family members, like Karin Washington Cohen, Kenny Washington's daughter. We called her up, too, and she told us some of her dad's experiences on the field. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>\"He was the target out there,\" Cohen said. \"They stepped on his hands. They ground the chalk on the field into his eyes. I think he just took that as part of the job. Not just the football playing job, but the job of being the first black guy out there. He was a very good target.\"\u003c/em>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: Kenny and Woody faced hostility from just about everyone. Some fans were supportive, some were very hostile. Opposing coaches were hostile. So were opposing players. There's a scene in the book where Kenny's out of the play, and on the ground, and one of the opponents runs by him and takes a swing with his foot to kick him in the head.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What do you think Kenny Washington and Woody Strode would make of\u003c/strong> \u003cstrong>Colin Kaepernick's protests on the field today?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: They didn't have the luxury of protesting, in a sense, because they had to \"go along to get along,\" just to stay on the team. If they did anything like Colin did, the teams would have cut them. I think they would be supportive of the general belief, but they probably wouldn't be able to connect that well with the idea that here is a guy who can actually take that stand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Why have we heard so much about Jackie Robinson, yet Kenny and Woody's stories have been largely ignored?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>ATWOOD\u003c/strong>: First of all, football wasn't as popular as baseball at the time. But also, Kenny and Woody's stories can't be told as tales of unabashed triumph over racism. Jackie did end up winning the World Series, did get an MVP, had a long career. Kenny and Woody were both near the ends of their career when they were signed by the Rams, because when they were at their peak, the NFL wasn't yet signing black players. They didn't have the same level of success. So what their stories do is to challenge the idea that racism was overcome when it was faced, and also the idea that if you hard enough, you can succeed, the American Dream. They tried just as hard as Jackie. In many ways, they were just as talented as Jackie.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This interview has been edited for brevity and clarity. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>About \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2016/02/05/us/super-bowl-50-further-divides-san-francisco.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">a million people\u003c/a> descended on San Francisco over the weekend to take part in the festivities surrounding \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbaysuperbowl.com/#dlvhplS5YoPLbqBY.97\" target=\"_blank\">Super Bowl 50\u003c/a>. And on Saturday afternoon, downtown positively thrummed with bodies and life. Football fans advertised their allegiance with head-to-toe merchandising and spilled out of BART stations headed to Super Bowl City.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In front of the Metreon, buskers beat on drums and plastic buckets, while upstairs in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cityviewmetreon.com/event-venue-questions/\">City View\u003c/a> event center, celebrities mingled with sports power brokers sipping cocktails and nibbling sushi and sliders. At the heart of this celebration of American culture: \u003ca href=\"http://www.steinbergsports.com/\">Leigh Steinberg\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had no breakfast. I’ll have no lunch. I have no dinner. I have no life,” he said. It was his party, after all, and it didn’t look like he wanted it any other way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once \u003ca href=\"http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/18/magazine/show-leigh-steinberg-the-money-again-.html\" target=\"_blank\">a sports agent to top all sports agents\u003c/a>, Steinberg represented a roster full of superstars, like former 49ers quarterback Steve Young and champion boxer Oscar De La Hoya.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Steinberg's \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/sports/ci_29485567/super-bowl-50-steinberg-bash-brings-star-athletes\">29th Super Bowl Party\u003c/a>, former players like Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman, Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Kordell Stewart and 49ers and Raiders defensive back Ronnie Lott chatted with Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio and Giants CEO Larry Baer. And former Ultimate Fighting Championship heavyweight titleholder Chuck Liddell, sporting his trademark mohawk, hung out on the balcony near a table offering sliders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few years ago, the scene would have been nearly impossible. In 2012, the former boy wonder -- the model for Tom Cruise’s character in \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/01/11/leigh-steinberg-the-real-life-jerry-maguire/\">“Jerry Maguire”\u003c/a> --- filed for bankruptcy. After a 10-year battle with \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/espn/commentary/story/_/page/munson-120202/former-super-agent-leigh-steinberg-battle-back-bankruptcy-alcoholism\">alcoholism\u003c/a> and a messy divorce, his life was in a shambles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone loves a comeback, but to Steinberg the event on Saturday was also a return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, I’ve lived here half my life, so it’s a homecoming,” said Steinberg, a UC Berkeley and Boalt Hall grad. “It’s a unique opportunity to put together family friends. And I love the Bay Area -- it’s got a special magic to it and I think it’s hosting the Super Bowl beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the circle complete, the agent who has specialized in quarterbacks over his 40-year career has got a new client -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/paxton-lynch?id=2555316\">Paxton Lynch\u003c/a>, the University of Memphis signal caller who's now a top prospect in the NFL draft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Paxton Lynch is 6-feet-7,” Steinberg said. “His hands are almost a foot long. He’s got an incredible ability to escape the pocket. So he’s in the new vogue of robo-quarterbacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was a chance for celebrities to schmooze and mingle, but for Steinberg it was also about highlighting causes he cares about, chief among them athletic concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a crisis of conscience back in the 1980s,” he said. “Because I’m representing half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and they keep getting hit in the head. And we were going to doctors and asking them, ‘How many are too many?’ and they had no answers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he started holding conferences to find out the answer to that question. In 1994, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sports/league-of-denial/the-frontline-interview-leigh-steinberg/\">white paper\u003c/a> was issued that recommended the NFL change its rules to disallow tackling with the head and neck and called for more research into preventing concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steinberg said the NFL was slow to respond. In 2007 he held another conference to highlight the science showing that three or more concussions result in \"an exponentially higher rate of Alzheimer's, ALS, premature senility, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and depression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg said the NFL needs to do more to prevent the “ticking time bomb” of concussions. Better helmets and keeping kids from playing too young are key, he said, but the real leap needs to come from recognizing the trauma caused by \u003ca href=\"http://www.traumaticbraininjury.net/sub-concussive-hits-are-causing-serious-brain-damage/\">sub-concussive\u003c/a> hits -- repeated blows to the head that don't cause concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Steinberg, causes are now the point. He can’t compete with his former self. So, he said he’s looking to just work with a few clients and help them become role models.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while that’s commendable, players might be coming to him to get a deal like the one he \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24138206/flashback-steve-youngs-43year-40million-usfl-contract\">struck\u003c/a> for Steve Young back in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the owner of the U.S. Football League's Los Angeles Express, Bill Oldenburg, was trying to sign players who could help make the fledgling league a viable competitor to the NFL. Young was a player who fit the bill, being highly sought by teams in both leagues after starring at Brigham Young University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg says the deal wasn’t going through quickly enough for Oldenburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He [Oldenburg] got so angry he went up to Steve and said, ‘I don’t know if you’re man enough for this team.’ And he had us escorted unceremoniously out of the building, and we sat on California Street at 3:30 in the morning. That was a deal that did not seem likely to come back together,” Steinberg said, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal that eventually came together was the largest contract in football history up to that time: \u003ca href=\"http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1825502-steve-young-will-make-1-million-in-2014-from-usfl-deal-signed-in-1984\">$40 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now time will tell what Steinberg’s second act will bring. But as the party swirled to a close, he gave his parting thought: “I think all of us in our lives can envision a world that we would like to have, and then realize it’s better to light candles than curse the darkness.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

And on Saturday afternoon, downtown positively thrummed with bodies and life.

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just a few years ago, the scene would have been nearly impossible. In 2012, the former boy wonder -- the model for Tom Cruise’s character in \u003ca href=\"http://nypost.com/2014/01/11/leigh-steinberg-the-real-life-jerry-maguire/\">“Jerry Maguire”\u003c/a> --- filed for bankruptcy. After a 10-year battle with \u003ca href=\"http://espn.go.com/espn/commentary/story/_/page/munson-120202/former-super-agent-leigh-steinberg-battle-back-bankruptcy-alcoholism\">alcoholism\u003c/a> and a messy divorce, his life was in a shambles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Everyone loves a comeback, but to Steinberg the event on Saturday was also a return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Well, I’ve lived here half my life, so it’s a homecoming,” said Steinberg, a UC Berkeley and Boalt Hall grad. “It’s a unique opportunity to put together family friends. And I love the Bay Area -- it’s got a special magic to it and I think it’s hosting the Super Bowl beautifully.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To make the circle complete, the agent who has specialized in quarterbacks over his 40-year career has got a new client -- \u003ca href=\"http://www.nfl.com/draft/2016/profiles/paxton-lynch?id=2555316\">Paxton Lynch\u003c/a>, the University of Memphis signal caller who's now a top prospect in the NFL draft.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Paxton Lynch is 6-feet-7,” Steinberg said. “His hands are almost a foot long. He’s got an incredible ability to escape the pocket. So he’s in the new vogue of robo-quarterbacks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The event was a chance for celebrities to schmooze and mingle, but for Steinberg it was also about highlighting causes he cares about, chief among them athletic concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a crisis of conscience back in the 1980s,” he said. “Because I’m representing half the starting quarterbacks in the NFL, and they keep getting hit in the head. And we were going to doctors and asking them, ‘How many are too many?’ and they had no answers.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he started holding conferences to find out the answer to that question. In 1994, a \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/sports/league-of-denial/the-frontline-interview-leigh-steinberg/\">white paper\u003c/a> was issued that recommended the NFL change its rules to disallow tackling with the head and neck and called for more research into preventing concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Steinberg said the NFL was slow to respond. In 2007 he held another conference to highlight the science showing that three or more concussions result in \"an exponentially higher rate of Alzheimer's, ALS, premature senility, chronic traumatic encephalopathy and depression.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg said the NFL needs to do more to prevent the “ticking time bomb” of concussions. Better helmets and keeping kids from playing too young are key, he said, but the real leap needs to come from recognizing the trauma caused by \u003ca href=\"http://www.traumaticbraininjury.net/sub-concussive-hits-are-causing-serious-brain-damage/\">sub-concussive\u003c/a> hits -- repeated blows to the head that don't cause concussions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To Steinberg, causes are now the point. He can’t compete with his former self. So, he said he’s looking to just work with a few clients and help them become role models.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while that’s commendable, players might be coming to him to get a deal like the one he \u003ca href=\"http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/eye-on-football/24138206/flashback-steve-youngs-43year-40million-usfl-contract\">struck\u003c/a> for Steve Young back in 1984.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, the owner of the U.S. Football League's Los Angeles Express, Bill Oldenburg, was trying to sign players who could help make the fledgling league a viable competitor to the NFL. Young was a player who fit the bill, being highly sought by teams in both leagues after starring at Brigham Young University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steinberg says the deal wasn’t going through quickly enough for Oldenburg.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He [Oldenburg] got so angry he went up to Steve and said, ‘I don’t know if you’re man enough for this team.’ And he had us escorted unceremoniously out of the building, and we sat on California Street at 3:30 in the morning. That was a deal that did not seem likely to come back together,” Steinberg said, smiling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal that eventually came together was the largest contract in football history up to that time: \u003ca href=\"http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1825502-steve-young-will-make-1-million-in-2014-from-usfl-deal-signed-in-1984\">$40 million\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now time will tell what Steinberg’s second act will bring. But as the party swirled to a close, he gave his parting thought: “I think all of us in our lives can envision a world that we would like to have, and then realize it’s better to light candles than curse the darkness.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

So the music needs to carry that kind of power with it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He recalls one rehearsal from his career, when the studio orchestra wasn’t producing the volume or energy he wanted.

But he hopes people will also keep it in perspective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This music has spit and blood and sweat and guts and laughing. It’s about a game,” he says. “At its base, it’s supposed to be fun, and not stiff or awkward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly the idea, says Richard Lonsdorf, the symphony’s associate director of artistic planning. At the \"Concert of Champions,\" people cheered readily when their favorite players graced the screen, and booed at rivals. Waves of laughter floated over the audience during the section of football follies, set to music by Spence, Hedden and David Robidoux, as players accidentally ran into cheerleaders, dove into tables of Gatorade, and straddled the goal post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the sake of the future, Lonsdorf says, the symphony want to move beyond the “sit down and shut up” model of classical music, without abandoning its core mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MqY5oOmhyQ24MsNSEP7MpNme7teFhZZX\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the age-old question of classical music -- it’s been going out of style for centuries. There’s this sense that the audiences are growing older. They're dying off. They aren’t being replaced by new ones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, a couple of years ago, the symphony started a film series. They show movies like \"Psycho\" and \"Star Trek,\" while the orchestra plays the musical score live. Later this month, they’ll show \"Vertigo,\" and after that, \"E.T.\" Lonsdorf says the series has attracted a younger, more diverse audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You create this ability for people to feel more comfortable with things, and we hope that it will start to bleed over into our standard offerings,” he says. “It’s a real leap to imagine that someone coming for the first time to the symphony’s 'Concert of Champions' is suddenly going to sign up for our next Mahler cycle. Not that they shouldn't. But you have to create interstitial steps between this kind of project and our most venerable classical properties. And so that's something we're constantly working on and refining.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Luke McMahan and Greg Kalman, football night was a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved how the music correlated completely with the plays. When the guy was ramming through people and running for the touchdown,” Luke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got more of a respect for the sport,” Greg added. “These players really do work hard. It’s really great to witness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the symphony hopes new audiences will leave the football program with a greater appreciation for music, Luke and Greg walked out with a greater appreciation for football.\u003c/p>\n\n",

But he hopes people will also keep it in perspective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This music has spit and blood and sweat and guts and laughing. It’s about a game,” he says. “At its base, it’s supposed to be fun, and not stiff or awkward.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s exactly the idea, says Richard Lonsdorf, the symphony’s associate director of artistic planning. At the \"Concert of Champions,\" people cheered readily when their favorite players graced the screen, and booed at rivals. Waves of laughter floated over the audience during the section of football follies, set to music by Spence, Hedden and David Robidoux, as players accidentally ran into cheerleaders, dove into tables of Gatorade, and straddled the goal post.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the sake of the future, Lonsdorf says, the symphony want to move beyond the “sit down and shut up” model of classical music, without abandoning its core mission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the age-old question of classical music -- it’s been going out of style for centuries. There’s this sense that the audiences are growing older. They're dying off. They aren’t being replaced by new ones.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, a couple of years ago, the symphony started a film series. They show movies like \"Psycho\" and \"Star Trek,\" while the orchestra plays the musical score live. Later this month, they’ll show \"Vertigo,\" and after that, \"E.T.\" Lonsdorf says the series has attracted a younger, more diverse audience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You create this ability for people to feel more comfortable with things, and we hope that it will start to bleed over into our standard offerings,” he says. “It’s a real leap to imagine that someone coming for the first time to the symphony’s 'Concert of Champions' is suddenly going to sign up for our next Mahler cycle. Not that they shouldn't. But you have to create interstitial steps between this kind of project and our most venerable classical properties. And so that's something we're constantly working on and refining.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Luke McMahan and Greg Kalman, football night was a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved how the music correlated completely with the plays. When the guy was ramming through people and running for the touchdown,” Luke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I got more of a respect for the sport,” Greg added. “These players really do work hard. It’s really great to witness.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
