SPORTS TALK: Let’s hear it for technology … and how awful it really is


SPORTS TALK: Let's hear it for technology ... and how awful it really is

I don’t know if I’ll buy this reasoning but I’m game for anything.

A recent study in Integrative Organismal Biology, published by Oxford Academic, features research which showed that facial hair may have evolved over time to help men absorb blows to the head better. It’s a fascinating read if you can spare 10 minutes of your life but the study’s authors apparently found that fully-furred samples were capable of absorbing more energy than samples that were sheared.

What this means is that the next hirsute dude I see is getting a first-hand trial run.
