My kids football coach had them doing a full 2 hour practice today in 96* temps. Every half hour, a three minute break for water and to catch their breath. No mercy from this guy.

A few kids were on the sidelines. I thought I was gonna die just from watching them.

And they gotta do it again tommorow with it breaking 100.

I would not let my kids participate in this heat CAL....shiite happens and we read about young folks dying from heat stroke every year...your kids are too young for practicing in this heat! The coach should have his head examined for not cancelling practice for a few days....its not the friggin NFL for chrissakes!

My prediction is we will get our share of tragic stories tomorrow from the oppressive heat!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Larry, wasn't just one coach.......there were at least eight different teams on two practice fields doing this.

I didn't want to seem like a wuss when none of the other parents were saying anything. I honestly thought they'd have light drills for an hour tops.

If the other parents were letting their kids jump off a bridge...would you let yours because you did not want to be a "wuss"? Hate to see folks wind up on the news like some will tomorrow because people choose to ignore the warnings.

Point taken, but like I said, I thought he would cut it short in this heat.
Obviously I was wrong.

Chrissakes, I even heard Belichick was cutting the afternnon practices this week.
