Two football questions
Unrelated, but I've been wondering about both:
- Who is Mike Holmgren talking to, er, screaming at on his headset? It's my understanding that he sends the play in to Beck that way. One can see MH holding the play card to his face when he is apparently doing that. But then after a play screws up, see, e.g., all third-and-fourth-and-longs this season, he appears to continue to communicate with someone via the headset. Is that Beck, or someone upstairs? I understand this may not be knowable to mere citizens such as us.
- What is the purpose of the little elbow bands that football players wear all the time these days? You know, the thin thingies that encircle the arm just above the elbow? Seems like they are not well-positioned or designed to protect the elbows from turf burn, etc. Yet many, many players wear them. What's the deal?

OT: but something that always throws me
MH = Matt Hasselbeck
I always have to go back and re-read the sentence to see who is actually being talked about.

I don't think they look stupid,
My girlfriend (who spends more time watching Ducks and Seahawks than she would like) postulated that the bands were for looks only. I told her I didn't think that was the case, for the aforementioned reasons.
I agree it looks like they would cut off circulation.
JP does need those arm band thingies to show off his muscly manliness.

Holmgren is most likely

You sure he's not talking to your mom?
