Illinois government should work on economy, not football

So, in the best interest of you loyal Gap Shots & Whiffs' readers out there, I have spent the better part of 20 minutes finding out what the heck Rule 22(g) means. This in terms of Illinois General Assembly House lingo.

As you may or may not know by now, that's what has happened to the status of a proposal made down in Springfield on Wednesday by the name of HB 1205. You may better recognize it as the Football Practice Hitting Limitation Act. This was presented to an Illinois House Committee this week in an effort to try and eliminate tackling by youth and high school football teams in the offseason and limiting them to twice a week in season.
