Right. So...were the crimes he did in HS because of CTE from his youth football days? Or college because of CTE from his HS football days?

Oh, I get it. When your star player gets the heavy handed punishment, you'll go ballistic and threaten lawsuits for a thing you have no say in because you're not on the committee that determines it. Gotcha.
I hope he loses his franchise and Goodell gets fired.

“The news account were right in this respect,” Jones said. “This is such an important matter in light of all that’s going on in the NFL right now that I basically feel that this extension of Roger should go and be reviewed and approved by all the owners, not just a few of the owners. And the committee that basically negotiates the salary with our Commissioner is taking the view, especially the chairman [Arthur Blank], that they in a limited group can complete this agreement. And I disagree. I think that we should with all the interest and commitment that we have throughout the ownership — this is the most aware ownership, the smartest ownership if you will, to a man, to a team, is more sophisticated in knowledge, is more involved in the operations of these clubs. So . . . on the extension of the Commissioner that everybody should not only really get involved but make their own decision. So this is simply about making sure that all clubs have input in not only what the Commissioner, his extension, but also in future years his decisions. And we all see how impactful a Commissioner’s decision can be in many areas. We’ve given him a lot of power. I think we need the checks and balances of ownership of actually having be in a position to not just suggest but approve of his decisions. So that’s what this is about.”
1. Everything was okay for Jerrah until it wasn't. In Jones' opinion, this is about an insubordinate employee whose decisions are hurting his bottom line. And Jones has no real power in determining that employee's employment status and salary.

College kid who committed suicide showed CTE and "Had the brain of a 65-year-old."
This stuff is just heartbreaking. And his little brother is going to keep playing. I just don't know anymore, man. Is my enjoyment worth these people being willing to put themselves at so much risk?

Re: NFL meltdown thread: the slow two-minute drill to disaster
Probably good that you bumped this because it took the NFLPA less than 90 minutes on a Sunday to inform the NFL that there will be an investigation into how exactly Tua re-entered yesterday's game after getting his head back hurt.

The fact that he came back was an absolute shocker.DSafetyGuy wrote: ↑Mon Sep 26, 2022 11:38 am Probably good that you bumped this because it took the NFLPA less than 90 minutes on a Sunday to inform the NFL that there will be an investigation into how exactly Tua re-entered yesterday's game after getting hisheadback hurt.
Less shocking was the way the sideline reporter spun it as "good news!" that Tua cleared concussion protocol and I don't recall the announcers (Kevin Harlan and the execrable Trent Green) commenting that it seemed odd or wrong.

putting this in here for purposes of good board hygiene--nobody is going to remember what week this happened. I mean, I think it's bad to pay Carson Wentz $22 million a year, but it doesn't rise to the level of a crime for me.
