I was being sarcastic. Yings is actually terrible lol. It's a weird combination of Chinese takeout, pizza/wing place and dive bar. Also a short lived attempt as a nightclub in the suburbs for underage kids. But they deliver until 4am and they used to deliver beer/kegs too and didn't ID us when we were underage in college. The locations have moved around over the years forming as new business entities every time Ying gets shut down for money laundering, failed health inspections, failing to ID minors, shootings, etc.

edit: And yings has low menu prices but crazy delivery fees. Like I remember back in 2005 ordering a 14.99 large pizza and having to pay like $9 in fees.

Lol I think I found the article I was referring to. It's from deadspin:

quote:

Removing the ping-pong table is now a reason for players, consciously or subconsciously, to decide to not spend as much time as they used to at the practice facility.

The traditional football sensibility is to eliminate anything perceived to be a distraction, but it’s 2022. The players are now always distracted. They have far more than 10 channels to watch on television, a handful of local radio stations, literature, and a Nintendo to keep them company. A weeks-long ping-pong tournament is actually a smart way to keep the player at the facility. A non-traditional way of approaching football. Something the Dolphins were supposedly willing to embrace by hiring McDaniel.

Instead, the Dolphins went backward, by removing a bit of fun from this roster.

So at this point all we can assume is that Teddy was actually concussed and the whinging about spotters was just cope?

No. He passed the concussion tests when he was pulled from the game and has passed all subsequent tests.

He's in the concussion protocol because that now automatically happens when you're pulled by the spotter, and it takes a while to get through the concussion protocol, even if you don't have symptoms.

Miami just isn't making a big deal about it for obvious reasons.

Earnest question: then why is it newsworthy that he's still in concussion protocol? If he's stuck in the protocol for a fixed period time regardless of symptoms, then why even report that he's still in it? Like I don't expect a Bills beat reporter to tell me that Jamison Crowder is still on IR every day until he's removed.

Barry Jackson is trying to draw attention to the situation because he thinks the new protocol is fraught with possible issues. He asks McDaniel stuff about it in every presser and has written a couple of articles on the topic.

I’m guessing there’s a non-zero chance AVT is our longterm RT if he can keep it up. Herbig is a very decent guard.

He’d be in the protocol no matter what. Why does nobody read these things?

I was laughing at the ridiculousness of spotter gate but at this point it’s pretty clear dude wasn’t concussed. Better safe than sorry though so it is what it is, sit it out.

I know that he's automatically in the protocol no matter what, but my confusion is if he's experienced zero effects or symptoms that could be interpreted as being the result of a concussion, then why hasn't he tested out of it already?

There's a return to participation protocol outlined here and there's no set time limit for each stage:

https://www.nfl.com/playerhealthandsafety/resources/fact-sheets/nfl-return-to-participation-protocol

quote:

Each player and each concussion is unique, and there is no set time-frame for return to participation. Team medical staff consider the player's current concussive injury, as well as past exposures and medical history, family history and future risk in managing a player's care.

I would say, there is a limited window each day where they can administer all of those tests under the supervision of doctors.

And also, it would look really, really bad for Miami to screw around with anything concussion related right now. I think they're worried about optics.
