There is a specific, sacred sound that echoes off the stadium concrete on a crisp October Thursday morning—the snap of chin straps, the crack of smelling salts, and the rhythmic scraping of dried mud from steel cleats. While the soft-handed lawyers down in Washington are currently cluttering the Supreme Court docket arguing over whether sports pred...
