| | | | Lamarvelous sports tech Happy Wednesday, Baltimore. You’re already over halfway through the work week, can you believe it? It’s almost the weekend! Speaking of weekends, I know, from walking around the city on any given (fall) Sunday, just how obsessed people in this region are with our Ravens. So those of you plugged into the NFL likely already saw the news that QB Lamar Jackson (a.k.a. Lamarvelous, Action Jackson, LJ, something you’ve yet to come up with) is set to play in this Sunday’s game despite what the Baltimore Sun described as an injury to his right elbow. Apparently, he was wearing a sleeve on that elbow during practice today. That’s not exactly the biggest shock, since football players get injured all the time. But such a typical injury does make me wonder about all the tech that enables NFL players to spend at least 16 weekends a year in front of thousands-strong crowds, making moves that take undeniable tolls on their bodies. From the medical and fitness tech that keeps them from full collapse to the analytics and related software that coaches use to manage from the sidelines, the modern NFL is riddled with innovation that stands in contrast to all the ways the sport remains rooted in tradition — for better and worse. If you love football, or really any sport, what’s the coolest tech you’ve seen used in the game?
