Steelers To Use Blood Flow Machine (1 Viewer)

"We're going to have a piece of machinery that we think generates blood flow throughout the body on the sideline," Tomlin said.

What the hell is Mike Tomlin talking about?

Vampires on the sideline... cool!

Maybe one of these?

 

[kevinray]

we think it generates bloodflow?!? you best be sure Mike. I feel like he's got to be joking about this.

 

[Godsbrother]

I dunno but the Steelers didn't need it in the 2005 playoffs.

A VIAGRA MACHINE!

Does HomeDepot sell them?

I am guessing he meant to say stimulates not generates.

hmm.......unless theyre bringing those electric paddles to the sidelines. those will generate some blood flow

At first read I was thinking Tomlin was a bit off his rocker. Then I checked the weather forecast.

Don't be overly concerned with weather forecasts six days out.

A lot of people believe you can use magnets or low level electrical currents to stimulate blood flow. I am not sure how these would be implemented on the sidelines and I am not sure there is any evidence to support either claim if they did.Penn & Teller pretty much debunked magnets.

Oh I'm not concerned, it just makes Tomlin's comments that much more understandable.

How so? The weather won't change the altitude. Or are you thinking these types of machines might help to keep them warm?

but is blood flow even the issue?? I mean, your heart is pumping blood at a high rate when playing football.

Fembot cheerleaders?

It is a matter of how much blood you have. When at higher altitudes your body doesn't get as much oxygen through it's blood so it compensates by creating more red blood cells.Poor explanation but I'm tired and I hope you get the point.

Do the Broncos use these "machines" regularly? If not, I'd think it was more weather plus altitude related than simply altitude.

How'd that get in there? That's not my penis pump I swear Baby!

Simply altitude? Have you ever been to Denver? The first few days can be rough when going there from sea level.The Bronco players have had months and years to adjust to the altitude (i.e. producing more red blood cells to deliver oxygen) opposing teams do not have that luxury and are playing at an oxygen deficit. However we are talking about highly conditioned athletes here so the advantage is small but it exists.

This maybe?

 

[RedRaiders]

Riding a stationary bike on the sideline down?

 

[ScoobyDoo]

Fluff girls?

 

[Chaka]

That is very interesting. Good find, thanks.

Yes.Yes, although I wasn't playing professional football. I was attending a wedding. Didn't notice any problems, but then again, all I did was walk, eat, sleep, drink, and check out Red Rocks.

I agree that players on the Broncos have adjusted. As for this machine, have you (or anyone else for that matter) ever heard of something like this being brought to Denver by a visiting squad? Will it look like this?

NOOOOOOO!We can't have a Stanford product working against us.
