“Always a Fire”

[WARNING: There are some seriously graphic photos in this film. Read on for how to avoid them.]

How much football was there this weekend, am I right? And THAT, my friends, is how you talk about sports. No, here’s how: watch this short documentary by filmmakers Nathan Caswell & Jeremiah Zagar about football player Chad Jones’ struggle back to the field after a horrific car accident. It’ll make you forget about your sore back for five minutes. But, close your eyes at 1:55 when Carter Stamm says, “It looked like someone had taken a small hatchet… “ and reopen them at “he was just screaming,” okay? Elsewhere: a former footballer takes on Salon, and current players take on opponents of gay marriage.
