@BillFairway Bill, you are simply the best. I was privileged to listen to your calls for the two years Brett played for the Giants. I loved how you were fair and honest about the team's play and were never a homer. You also celebrated the great skill and dedication of the other team.
A massive study just confirmed it — giving kids smartphones before 13 can have serious mental health consequences.
Sapien Labs, in the Journal of Human Development and Capabilities, surveyed over 100,000 young adults. Key finding: those given smartphones before age 13 faced sharply higher risks of depression, anxiety, aggression, and hallucinations in adulthood.
Lead researcher Dr. Tara Thiagarajan warns that pre-teen brains are ill-equipped for social media’s relentless demands.
Girls showed diminished self-esteem and emotional strength; boys displayed lower empathy and stability—compared to peers who delayed phone use.
The team calls for urgent action: treat smartphones for under-13s with the same restrictions as alcohol or tobacco.
As evidence mounts and experts raise alarms, this study fuels a worldwide push: safeguard children’s minds by holding off on that first phone.

This is a must-watch video from @LWillson_82 and @DuaneFordeTSN.
I wrote a column about why the #CFL should implement restricted free agency all the way back in 2020.
The inspiration for it, if I recall, was an enlightening conversation I had with Duane years prior.
