Do you look at Denver and say 'this team will not be denied?'
I'm a Redskins fan.

Giants plus an actual defense (and non-combative Odell)

I probably doesn't even know how to use one. Lose his black and white photographs though, and there will be hell to pay!
Oh, they will.

So, fellow losers, what do we talk about now? We doing a mock draft soon? I'm certain who the Pats are gonna take in the first.
The eyes...

The OT taught me that Gata is an otherkin. So is Kave. Maybe Dega too (although he doesn't know which animal he is, owl or dog).
That's like an animu furry gone wrong.

If the Pats don't draft baby Gronk, then I will be very dissapointed.
If mech didn't have overrared JUCO QBs to lust over he'd feel the same about lil' Watt
Shit
Josh Sash, eight years older than Tyler, said his brother sustained at least two concussions in high school, one documented concussion in college and two with the Giants, including one in the Giants playoff victory over the San Francisco 49ers that earned the team its berth in the Super Bowl after the 2011 season. [...]
Those concussions are the ones we definitely know about, Josh Sash said. If youve played football, you know there are often other incidents.

Let's be real here: almost everyone in the NFL has or is going to get CTE. Football is a sport waiting to die
Very sad situation, but the CTE confirmation is not surprising in the least. Everything about his story seemed to hit the typical checklist of CTE signs/symptoms.
In a decade when they reliably diagnose CTE it will be adult ADD. Everyone will be diagnosed with it. It's not going to be limited in any way to football. The key will be getting better at grading out the severity and figuring out how to manage the worst cases, not pretending like CTE is the result of isolated activities.

Football is more like smoking.
Not everyone gets cancer and some people still die of old age despite smoking two packs a day.
I know that feel... All I have time for these days is watching a few of my favorite streamers play stuff, no longer putting in the effort to play the games I want myself... =/
Bingo.
If you have ever been around toddlers, even with the most helicopter of parents, you know they probably have a half dozen concussions by the age of 5. It's a big deal, I'm not claiming it isn't, and I think the study of this stuff is going to wildly improve the quality of life particularly for the elderly and hopefully eradicate Alzheimer's, but I think ultimately (and this sounds like Goodell PR bullshit but I think it's true) we'll be glad that the popularity of football forced us to spend significant amounts of time and treasure studying something I firmly believe impacts a vast majority of the population.
Reverse jinx in full effect.
You can't say that for certain. Missing a huge chunk of your starting defense probably shifts a game more than you seem to give it credit for. That doesn't mean Denver wins by any means, but it certainly changes the game.
As far as happy endings, you see just as many guys that had amazing careers and they didn't win shit. They are probably the majority, so when a few great players go out on top I think it's okay to cherish it and not be a cynical asshole. You've been pushing that the NFL has a narrative that it wants played out on the field going back quite a few weeks now. No matter what happens in the NFL, the media will create a narrative. Not the NFL.
Now show video of all his push offs.
Gronk had one DPI called on him all year. Refs don't give a shit.

No shit
Normally he arm bars his defender half way across the field so there is no one to interfere with him.
I thought it was a good no-call. I think DPI should be legal when QBs throw the ball up for grabs. Flacco-ball is bad football

But they've called opi on him the most this year
That's because he is the most egregious offender since Michael Irvin.

Aren't jump balls in the endzone typically not enforced as heavily for DPI? Kinda how they typically let all Hail Mary plays kinda play out?
That is not PI. If they called it there it would be considered ticky tack. Let the men play
Who gives a shit if Gronk pushes off?
This is probably the best angle of that play. When you're that big, strong and fast it's amazing that the DB even had a shot to stop him.

That doesn't change the fact that they should callehen he gets interfered with.
Oh bullshit
Did he get a lot of flags back then?
Pats were the most penalized team for OPI in the league this year.

Except he's actually getting called for it?
