Just the false positive numbers. Apparently the Vikings had 12 as well. Wild

To my knowledge PCR tests are very unlikely to throw false positives, but they do throw false negatives.

Not sure what test battery the NFL is using. We’ll find out if they were false positives in a week or two I guess.

I guess the alternative you'd have to believe is that a bunch of teams in different metropolitan areas all had pretty significant outbreaks(greater than we've seen so far) at the same time, and it's an unrelated coincidence they were all went through the same testing center.

I think the suggestion is that there was some sort of contamination at the testing center.

Wasn’t he already involved in some story involving an orgy with his brother that his wife found out about or something last year?

It was a few months ago. There was also a gun involved iirc.

Now that the leaks have started apparently the team has already fined him once this year for something that they managed to keep under wraps.

All things considered, it's probably just a testing lab that said, sure we can handle an extra daily thousand tests and couldn't, so cut corners because who gives a poo poo about doing it right if you can get a signed contract.

I like how the medias response to being froze out by the teams is "well, we'll have to write even shittier articles to make up for it, no one wants that". Not getting practice reporting isn't a huge deal, write actual stories about the players instead of just making poo poo up for clicks or 14 beat guys writing the same story about who threw a pick in practice

Yeah this sounds like a bunch of BS. The false positive rate from rt-qPCR is very low, while the false negative can be high (usually because of bad sample collection).

For those keeping track at home, the 49ers have drafted four wide receivers in the first three rounds in the last 3 drafts

2020 - Brandon Aiyuk (Hamstring)
2019 - Deebo Samuel (Foot), Jalen Hurd (ACL)
2018 - Dante Pettis (sadboi brain)

I appreciate the thinking behind building a stadium that actively injures other football teams for an advantage, but did no one realize they'd have to play on it more than anyone else?

I was gonna say, it's uncommon, though not unheard of to hear of players fighting in camp, I don't think I've ever heard of a player posting camp footage to their social media account (that obv wasn't approved by the team) before.

It's very common for opposing position groups to fight (or opposite teams in joint practices) but I'm having trouble of thinking of a time where two players on the same unit got into it with each other.

For the Packers the only time I can think of for that was maybe Ahmad Carroll and Joey Thomas from over a decade ago.
