Just stumbled upon this on Twitter, and thought it was funny (especially the first response):

(You'd have to read the whole thread)

Not really understanding what the basis for the sunday ticket lawsuit is?

Are they saying the NFL can't control of how they broadcast the games and charge for it?

why do the consumers get to sue for damages wouldn't it be the teams or someone else being hurt?

Agree. I read a couple articles and still don't get it.

He must have a great deal of charm.

So Texans Denico Autry suspended 6 games for banned substance. I’ve read this a few times and sure can’t make sense of it. Is he saying his doctor prescribed him one medicine and the pharmacy decided to give him something else completely (labeled as such)

or

the pharmacy gave him the medicine that WAS labeled exactly as the one prescribed but it contained things not ordinarily in it?

Autry says upon his investigation of the matter, he "discovered that a pharmacy to which my doctors submitted a prescription for a different medication, had, whether intentionally, recklessly, or negligently, included a banned substance."

Texans' Autry banned 6 games for PED violation

Texans defensive end Denico Autry has been suspended six games for violating the NFL's policy against performance enhancing drugs.

Judge overturns jury award.

I wasn’t clear from the article I read if he only threw out the damages, or threw out the whole case.

I wanna know who conceived this kickoff thing. Has this been done at any other level?

One of the new leagues (UFL or whatever) did it and it garnered a lot of support from that.

I didn’t watch the game last night but it can’t possibly be worse than what kickoffs have turned into in recent years. It got to the point that I’d rather they get rid of kickoffs altogether.

Thanks. XFL. I just found this decent explanation of it all. The onside kick thing will be interesting to see.

In the most credible evidence yet that CTE is having a devastating effect on the brains of NFL players , we have the NFL top 100 best players list, voted on by the players themselves .

Lamar Jackson 2
Mahommes 4

Cancel the season before more damage is done

I don't really have a problem with it personally. They're supposed to be voting on who had the best season last year, and the votes were cast before the regular season ended, when Lamar was cruising towards the MVP and Mahomes was in the midst of probably his worst season to date. Having said that, it makes the inclusion of Aaron Rodgers completely ridiculous. He obviously was not a top 100 player last season as he literally played like 4 snaps and didn't complete a pass.

This is hilarious…
Dak was asked about it and said something like I have urgency for it to happen.

I see ESPN firing Ponder and Griffin. I always wonder in these jobs is it to save money or cut staff? You never hear of cut salary.

Too bad. I like RG III, particularly his work on college football. ESPN employs several circus clowns that cover pro football and yet no place for RG III.

I liked him as a college player. Then as a young, arrogant pro, he ‘dissed’ McNabb and almost immediately Orange Karma got him.

His contract is coming up. If I prayed I would ask the lord for him to be released to a future of podcasts that I can avoid. So I can go back to watching ESPN.
