Were Board Games Better for Kids Than the Video Games of Today?

Not really.The athletic part in playing games physically, football or similar, is good as long as the damage isn't greater than the exercise, like in hockey or boxing.The game-y game part is the same for football, chess or Legend of Zelda.The video part of a video game, especially 3D games, adds cognitive benefits for visual processing, spatial reasoning, speed of shape recognition and movement detection. The important thing is, any of those are much better than passive entertainment like watching football, a TV series or a movie. Games, yes even video games, especially video games, improve cognition and those gains last for month, even without more play time. Games are nature's school. Animals play to learn.The mental improvements from real, violent, fast difficult video games are especially important for people over 50. That is one of the fastest growing audience segments. There are more gamers over 50 that there are males 18 and under.Which brings me to the last point. Games are not for kids. Mostly. We make them for adults. The middle of the range is 39 for men, 44 for women. So, check the games you buy for children carefully. Confirm that the rating is suitable for the age of the player. That is why it is rated. Don't buy teen or adult games for preteens or guns or cocktails.

2. Question for football (soccer) players?

Some players say it's more difficult to play on artificial grass pitches. So many stadiums in Russia for example could be considered difficult places to play for those reasons. Also lower league football clubs, especially in northern Europe, with pitches with bad surfaces because of the weather and over use of the pitch. Stadiums which are known for having a big atmosphere from crowds are sometimes also considered difficult away trips with that added to the mix. Teams with excellent home records as well. I know i did not go into specific stadiums for any of those, but there's just so many, for different reasons.

9. Fantasy Football, Is this a fair trade?

If Brady and Moss are anything like they were in '07, this trade is not just unfair, it's largely lopsided. I expect Warner to get injured this year. Over his career, he has never played three consecutive full seasons. He played all 16 games last year and 15 the year before. The injury is coming sometime. Marshall will probably get less yardage than last year due to the QB change, however McDaniels' system will help bring it back up. Brady and Moss win by recent year's numbers.
