We'll know in the draft. If they don't overreach for skill players that put up big 40 times at the combine, maybe they've turned over a new leaf.

Yes Kirk is Bledsoe to Mendoza’s Brady…

Or they saw Mendoza patting the ball before each wobbly throw.

So that's either carefully curated footage or we now have even more proof that scouts are absolutely fucking worthless.

Im legit wondering if the NFL wants the talks to fail to do this experiment w/ leaning on technology post play to correct calls on the field this year and see how it goes.

The situation is a lot messier than that blurb -

Long story short, "the NFL" is (legally) 32 distinct businesses that can (legally) collude in some ways, as in they can set universal salary caps, floors, etc., _only_ because they have an agreement between the teams and the NFLPA.

Similarly, the only reason the networks make TV deals with "the NFL", vs deals with each individual team, is legally because of the national Sports Broadcasting Act of 1961, which allows the NFL the right to do so, apparently under the logic that while not having the businesses (the teams) make individual deals with networks is anti-competitive, the consumer wins out because all the games are effectively free to watch on the TV...

... until there's a ton of deals for internet rights that are not free for everyone, killing the justification for that 1961 Act.

This gets very murky, and ties into the same legal issues with things like NFL Sunday Ticket, if the NFL is actually 32 independent businesses.

Try giving this a watch if you're interested

I am a truly casual NFL fan, and when I saw this I thought "I swear this is the dude who sucked really badly and was caught with that nasty codeine/purple drank/skittles combo more than once." Then, I went into the comments and saw all the references to Lean.

So no matter what he says, the casual NFL fans will remember him as that thug retard who pissed away millions to stay high.

The NFL's version of Gamergate is getting spicy.

That tweet someone found from 5 years ago suggesting the link is pretty damning. It's wild to me how evidence is always there that gets brushed over. Even stuff like the Justin Tucker massage shit there were tweets accusing him of stuff from years back. They just got brushed under the rug because there was not story/narrative about it at the time.
