And we can’t prevent it.” quote:Players...raised similar concerns, with one player asking: “For so much unknown in the air right now, is it worth having a football season without certainty?” Whole article is worth a read, everything is impressively slimy.

Doctor Teeth posted:isn't that the league that had a pinkeye or mono (can't remember which) outbreak because players were sharing water bottles? You're probably thinking mumps a couple of years ago, but both other things could have happened too.

a neat cape posted:Iirc Del Rio beat the poo poo out of a dude who he thought crossed the picket line during the 87 strike, so... maybe? This was Otis Taylor, hall of very good for his time Chiefs WR who was then working as a scout. He must have kept himself in pretty good shape, he'd retired 12 or 13 years earlier.

shirts and skins posted:Yes, but almost always immediately injured. 5.8 career YPC! Almost all of it came in one game against Carolina. He was kinda poo poo otherwise in the 5 games he did play. I guess he did have a 45 yard receiving TD against the Jets. Raku posted:Probably because he's trying to get out of his own scandal already so this is a good chance to show he's turned over a new leaf (ha... ha...) I don't know that I trust Snyder to even have this pathetic amount of natural PR chops. I think it's a tossup between Snyder doing it, Rivera knee jerk doing it, and things somehow being even worse than they already sound to the point where there was no choice even for a ridiculously tone-deaf organization but to do it.

Watching the 49ers/Ravens game from last year on NFLN that was played in a rainstorm. A report from the 49ers sideline: 'These guys soaked their footballs before the game. They wanted people to touch them, they wanted people to throw them, hold them. Just wanted everyone to get a feel for how it's going to be out there.'

Ches Neckbeard posted:Alex needs to turn himself into Peterman asap. I don't think he's mentally capable of this. Wheels were always a pretty big part of his game though, so there's a possibility he's unplayably bad now instead of...well wherever you feel like classifying pre-injury Alex Smith. Which would make me a little sad, I like the guy, but that'd be the best. I want him off a football field while he can still walk around and I want him paid.

The Chiefs plan to open Arrowhead to the public at 22% cap week one if we're determined to do this. https://twitter.com/adamteicher/status/1295466915205447683 I haven't seen anything one way or the other on tailgaters, but I haven't been paying a ton of attention.

SKULL.GIF posted:What criteria are we using here? From a purely 'coaching tree' standpoint Vrabel belongs to O'Brien's tree (or Urban Meyer's possibly). He never coached under Belichick. We don't consider Herm Edwards a part of Dick Vermeil's coaching tree for instance.

I kept trying to figure out why West Virginia or the Washington Huskies were involved in this graph for the W toward the bottom before I figured it out. If that's the graph logo it's gonna take me a bit to get used to it, although no complaints obviously. Also whew the Vikings obviously.

All of this ET stuff reminded me that Eric Berry is still out there claiming to want to play. I think he might be overestimating his value though, apparently the Colts sniffed around earlier this year but couldn't make a deal happen. I guess I also have no clue if it's more dangerous for Berry to play than other people as a cancer survivor.

I mean, very small potatoes compared to everything else but there is no doubt in my mind this bit is true from that Snyder/Washington story:quote:Those who work directly for Snyder heed a long list of protocols... clean the owner’s desk each morning, ensuring that his calendar and daily kitchen menu are in the proper locations and that his paper clips all face the same direction. Dan is 100% the type of person who would be confounded and angry about having to look at a paper clip and figure out how to orient it.

Ches Neckbeard posted:The Double Doink has utterly destroyed Matt Nagy. To think there was that season he looked like a good coach. Do we have specific instances for other coaches where we can point to exactly where their brains are stuck? I can think of lots of things that certain guys won't stop harping about, but individual plays making you do incredibly dumb poo poo the rest of your career seem pretty rare.

He slowed down a little bit last year but is still the best prospect before we see what he ends up as since Luck as far as I can tell? You should feel free to hate Clemson either way though.

https://twitter.com/MikeGarafolo/status/1300407514660564992 Huh. I'm on the Fournette truther side where I think maybe he could have been good with decent coaching, but I also can't argue just dropping him at this point. e:fb

fsif posted:How lovely a player is Fournette? His stats from last year look okay. I don't think he was ever worth 4th overall or anything, but I do think he'd be a fine player if he wasn't treated as an old school workhorse back where you just hand him the ball into 8 man fronts every snap. But I'm on record as liking the guy for what he could be and not what he is, I'm sure others will disagree.
