2024 NFL Regular Season: g-bebe’s Lamar attempts to slay Dom’s Josh for title of mafia boss
You know, since the Super Bowl periodically i will watch the CBS Sinatra intro cuz it was ****ing magnificent. Halfway t
IIRC one of the networks or RZ pointed out a Pats defender wearing one on Sunday.
The NFL approved the use of the Guardian Caps in regular season games this year. I found where a few players wore them in pre-season, but evidently nobody wants to be the 1st one to wear it during a regular season game and be seen as a pussy by the rest of the league. If there was ever a poster child for promoting the use of Guardian Caps, it would be Tua. Granted, I think they
If Tua comes back and wears one, I'd bet most if not all of the team will wear one as well out of solidarity.

Tua will need the Dubble-Bubble Wrap model.
I think the optimal time for Tua using one is well past. Better late than never, but I would guess that hit last night wouldn't have concussed any other qb in the league.
There's not really an easy way to "angle shoot" here.If you retire, the team can claw back your signing bonus, which then no longer counts against the cap, and obviously you don't get future guaranteed salary as you aren't playing.And again, you can't just "retire due to a minor injury". You have to be medically retired from football, which requires several doctors to say that
oh from what i (mis) read it seemed to me that the signing bonus part was long gone from miami's perspective. could be a spicy game of chicken if he's unwilling to retire because of the money but also the PR of putting him back out there over and over would be bad. doctor's have a tough spot of clearing guys when the damage is slow, long term and degenerative like CTE

Nah, signing bonuses are absolutely subject to refund if the player retires early.
Two cases that were big stories:
DET demanded Megatron pay back $1.6M of his "unearned" signing bonus when he retired early. He did, but it strained his relationship with the Lions for years.
When Andrew Luck retired, the Colts let him keep the $12.8M he still hadn't "earned" of his signing bonus. Maybe because Jim Irsay is a super nice guy that didn't need more drug/guitar money at that time, or maybe because the Colts thought there was a chance it would help talk him into coming back at some point. You can decide for yourself. Either way, the Colts ate the cap hit in its entirety that year.
Definitely was one Pats player wearing it. Obviously looks goofy, but it wasn't super noticable maybe because of them having silver helmets.
Also the ones in practice look way dumber. Bad coloring, no logos. If they actually practiced with the ones they would play with, I think many players would wear it.
Tua is going to be cleared. He's going to be able to play. He'll have to make a decision if his present is worth his future, but it's highly unlikely that doctors are going to find that he's not able to play in the here and now.
I'm not so sure about this. If he goes out there again and gets seriously wrecked or dies, then the doc who clears him is staring down the barrel of a huge malpractice lawsuit. And with a victim like Tua, they can come up with all sorts of ridiculous projections of future income from endorsements and such. It would probably exceed the limits of any liability policy the doctor might have. Anyone clearing Tua is potentially putting everything they own at stake.
If only he would have just slid feet first. For fawk's sake.

I'd imagine they have established tests for this. If he passes the tests he's cleared, end of story. I might be wrong.

Just my opinion, so whatever, but I think Nate basically nailed it. I doubt very seriously team doctors are operating outside of the NFL umbrella here. There's almost certainly a process, which they'll follow, and it will be on Tua.
Also, and I hate to think the NFL would have anything but the purest motives here, but the team obviously has a really perverse incentive to clear him, so it's not as if there isn't an insane amount of pressure on any doctor who quietly (or not so quietly) understands that failing to clear him basically means you never work in or around the NFL again.
Unless Tua has a clear brain bleed or something, I think he's basically a lock to be cleared. After that, it's his call.

It's not like they can just scan his head and get an answer.
There is a certain amount of examining that the doctor has to do and tests he may just have to personally administer and judge the results himself with some element of subjectivity. It would be easy for someone after the fact to say, "Well obviously you did that wrong, because if you did then Tua wouldn't be a wheelchair bound vegetable today. That's gonna be $100 million for your negligence. "
Even if the doc is going to want to win, do you want to face that? Even if I've got AA, I'm worried all-in preflop.
To be clear, I'm not saying that above is definite, just that it is possible. I don't really know either.
“At one point people thought seatbelts were f—ing stupid,” Granson told The Athletic on Thursday. “Why wouldn’t I (wear it)? Just because it looks silly? I feel like health and safety is more important than aesthetics.”
volvo and i roll with that statement

bones and ligament are easy to agree upon
scrambled brain with a side of ego often requires a bit more conversation
hope he swishes all the rorschach tests

CMC probably taking at least the next few weeks off after signing an extension he held out for, you say?
That’s alright. I guess I’m just grateful my team keeps mAkInG tHe PlaYoFsS

Colts are the 2nd worst team in the NFL (sorry heels). Any ranking that doesn't list them there is not to be taken seriously
Remarkable first slate of upsets
I survived last week easily with New Orleans vs sorry heels
Stepped out there this week with Redskins against Danny Dimes.
What could go wrong?
Indigenous people beat the Giants 21-18 on the foot of Austin Seibert who accounted for all of their points with 7 FGs. He was picked up off the scrap heap last Monday. And Giants kicker gets hurt, so they have to go for 2 and can't kick FGs. No way the Commies win this game had that not happened.
I'm off to the convenience store to buy some lottery tickets.
also. sorry heels. my goodness
how the hell does a modern nfl team get beat by seven figgies
