Tasty corned beef hash deserves far better than a can

- CLAY THOMPSON

Today’s question: Perhaps you can find an answer to a problem that frustrates me. Does anyone manufactur­e and sell canned corned beef hash that uses unadultera­ted corned beef? What you can buy looks and tastes like floor sweepings and may be that. Please help.

I am afraid, people, that there are some things I just can’t help you with. This question does, however, raise the issue of why anyone would eat canned corned beef hash in the first place.

Life is meant to be enjoyed. You can find several recipes online for corned beef hash that will be infinitely better than any canned stuff you can find.

This year the NFL is using a new type of helmet. What is that funny thing on the quarterbac­k’s helmet that looks like a flap. It’s at the top of their forehead on the outer part. Can they hide something in it?

Hide something in it? Like what? A shank?

Several NFL and college teams have switched to new helmets designed to reduce the risk of concussion­s.

The details of all the technologi­es involved in these new designs would take up this space for the next few days, but some of them do include something described as a “deformable flap’’ on the front of the helmet.

Is that what you mean? I don’t know that their use is restricted to quarterbac­ks.

Quarterbac­ks and one defensive player are, of course, allowed to wear radio transmitte­rs in their helmets. Personally, I don’t believe I’d care to have my boss jabbering away in my ear while I was trying to work, but there you have it.
