You dont find memory loss at the age of 35, maybe even younger and being forced into retirement after 1 more concussion crazy? Sure this happens a lot, doesnt make it any less shocking when you read about an active player suffering from it.

Meth Welker probably next.
 
Eagles fans threw batteries at a 7-year-old dressed up as Santa Claus. True story.

They are so mean that they went back in time and forced his mom to get an abortion.

That assumes Mortenson is telling the truth.

He described what happened on the tape including her hitting the railing on the way down, how could he know that unless he talked to someone that saw the tape? Also what possible reason did he have to lie about the league seeing the tape back in July?
 
Hey Gata, why are you looking so glum?

To look smart, same reason he lied about Eli's knee.

"He hit her twice and her head hit the rail." Is that information in the police report? His source could be the police report depiction of what is on the video.

His comments in the linked video never mention sources within the league. He says sources who have seen the video.

I guess that is possible, Peter King did definitively say that both the NFL and the Ravens saw the 2nd tape back in July:

There is one other thing I did not write or refer to, and that is the other videotape the NFL and some Ravens officials have seen, from the security camera inside the elevator at the time of the physical altercation between Rice and his fiancée.

The whole thing just seems crazy to me. The league fucked up bad, either by lying about seeing the tape, or by seeing it and then giving him only 2 games.

King recanted this on Monday or Tuesday though, saying he was wrong. Dunno if that's part of a cover up though.

King recanted, Mort never actually claimed the league had seen the tape. I dunno, seems like a dumb angle to take.

This was simple incompetence, not a conspiracy. Both should cost Goodell his job.
 
You guys enjoying Destiny so far? Hearing mixed feelings about the game. gameplay being good but everything else is a let down (missions etc)
 
Mort generally takes Schefter or Yahoo's sources and uses them as his own. So I would probably question Schefter before I question Mort.

I had no idea that King recanted and Dan Patrick said that Mort got his info from a league source but if Mort isnt saying that now it is a moot point. Tip your cap to Rodger dude seems to have all his ducks in a row now.
 
J.J. Watt’s last 10 games: 48 tackles, 7 sacks, 12 TFL, 34 QB hits, 5 passes defensed, 3 FF, 3 FR, 3 blocked kicks. #worththemoney #Texans

Damn. Even when the rest of the team basically gave update he didn't. Lets pay him more.
 
Are those girls over 18?

If they are then that red head is hot.

Also Gata is sad because he is so close yet so far from the boobers he always dreamed about but can never touch.

That red head...yum.

Bunch of creepy old pervs in here SMH.

We should all be lusting after a more appropriate target.

For example, All-Pro strong safety Kam Chancellor:

You poor, misguided soul (or should I say Floridian?).

Spam musubi breh, get your food game up:

Brandt is the best in the business and he thinks this smells like shit:

Andrew Brandt @adbrandt
Again, I think it naive to not think that league/team security uncover key info from investigations through relationships/favors.


I agree, but I'd like to see some semblance of proof before grabbing my pitchfork.
 
My coworker is Hawaiian and brings in Spam Musubi every once in a while.

It's delicious.

Speaking of delicious, I was perusing this link earlier and thought it would be an interesting thread. Then I remembered I don't make threads, so I figured I'd just post it here.

Signature Sweets by State

Maryland had Smith Island Cake, but I would have said Berger Cookies

Josh Gordon said he "wasn't too surprised" with the verdict of his appeal. "They are definitely strict in what they do."
Josh Gordon says frequency of testing from the NFL was "very high". Says "even still, I get tested a lot."
Josh Gordon's career goal: "Becoming a great wide receiver for the city of Cleveland; be one of the best in Cleveland's history."
Josh Gordon on where he sees himself in one year: "See myself in a Cleveland Browns uniform; biggest and best I've ever been."
Josh Gordon says that Cliffside in Malibu, CA made their diagnosis. They said "I wasn't addicted to anything. Didn't have any drug problem."
After latest incident, Josh Gordon says he "went on his own accord to Cliffside in Malibu, California to seek out some help."
Josh Gordon on working with car dealership: "Agreed to public appearances, community outreach programs and assisting around the showroom."
When asked if he has a drug problem, Josh Gordon answers with "definitely not". #Browns

Eagles' Billy Davis: We don't view Marcus Smith as first-round pick

The Eagles don't seem to be in any rush to get this year's first-round draft choice, linebacker Marcus Smith, on the field anytime soon.

Sure, Smith dressed for Sunday's 34-17 season opening win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the Louisville product didn't see the field for a single snap.

JNC at the DC saying this about a guy they just drafted. Cant believe he didnt play even 1 snap.
 
I don't think Mort is corrupt, I just think he is sloppy and shitty at his job.

I wouldn't say corrupt. I'd say he doesn't actually do anything at ESPN besides takes Schefter or Yahoo's info and repeats it.

He's been wrong multiple times and had to apologize on air before because he was just completely wrong and clearly took an internet rumor as fact.

Peter King is literally the NFL's writer. He's just cleaning up the mess that Roger told him to. He's also a shit writer.

The whole reason ESPN offered Schefter more money than NFLN was to get his sources. The NFL guys on ESPN are just terrible. Even the analysts on Countdown are a joke because of the marketing machine that ESPN becomes for the NFL(and NBA), and I love Ditka.

I guess I just don't think it matters, whether the NFL saw the video or not. At least, not for any other reason than having lied about it. Even if they had, their reasoning for not suspending Rice longer would be unchanged. Do I think they'd be naive enough to even know of the existence of such a video and not think it would eventually leak? Sure, why not, it's a bunch of rich old guys who are conditioned to believe the yes men they employ. Either way, they are fucked now, it's going to be impossible to prove they hadn't already seen it.

At the end of the day, it's the system's fault for not properly punishing Ray. He should have been immediately suspended for a year, sentenced to serve some months in jail and fined heavily. Along with entering a DV intervention program, he could have pulled a Vick with the dog thing and eventually become a positive force for the issue. Like that he and his wife would have a had a better chance of private reconciliation, and retained the possibility of an NFL career. The way this went down? It's all fucked for him, his wife/family, and obviously the league. No winners, only losers.
