Christ, Dante Fowler carted off at Jags practice. Injuries suck.

Just saw the video, he gone.

Some question as to whether the 11 on 11 drills they were running are legal at this stage of the off season.

They should fine the team a million dollars, suspend the coach and owner 8 games each and suspend Fowler for 4 games.

Only after investigating for 104 days. Because integrity.

There are specific rules for what can and cannot be done during different stages of off season activity. It is mapped out in the CBA. I don't know if this definitely was a violation, I just have read that it is being questioned.

"Live blocking" is the issue. Again, this is just reporters questioning.

it was really a non-contact injury. The guy didnt/barely touch him. he tried to cut and his leg gave out. The drill wasnt close to full contact.

And if they did break the rules the NFLPA will be on them like flies on shit

Found this interesting. The NFL's integrity of game policy, which Goodell will most likely use to punish Brady, contains rules about confidentiality and demands leaks be investigated. Somehow I doubt anyone will ever look into who was talking to Chris Mortensen or Jay Glazer or Bob Kravitz, etc.

Fowler gone for the year! Holy shit.

"They" really need to figure out how to fix an ACL in a few weeks.

Schefter reporting that fowler signed a waiver saying that if he got hurt during this work out, the Jags had to negotiate his contract in good faith. Looks like he will still get paid.

Classic Jaguars football .... The front office finally makes a good first round pick and the football gods smote him within 60 minutes of putting his jersey and pads on.

Follow this link to see a murderers row of shit first round picks made by Jacksonville (Fred Taylor being the exemption ... Throw enough darts in a dark room and you hit the target eventually) ...

I also love the fact that Tom Brady is too busy to meet the president and to read this report that claims to incriminate him and tarnish his legacy... but he can wine and dine at the Kentucky Derby.
this whole thing is fucking ridiculous. deflating footballs? who cares? there were studies done during the nonsense leading up to the super bowl that it actually does more harm than good due to a decrease in velocity. aaron rogers overinflates his. the vikings were were caught keeping their balls too close to heaters last year. ooooooh! if the nfl really thought this was a big issue, they wouldn't allow teams to handle their own balls in the first place. plus if they were tipped off before the championship game and did nothing...then.....what the fuck? why let it happen? haha. whole thing is nonsense.

you just get the impression that this has always been one of those wink and nod rules for decades. always been a non issue until now. it was a convenient story to keep the nfl in the news in the first week leading up the super bowl and now the report conveniently comes out during the only other dead nfl time of the year.

they'll lose a draft pick and pay a fine (like the falcons had to as a result of their investigation, which nobody cares about--and what they did had a much bigger effect on games imo) and the nfl will change their ball handling policy, thus infuriating quarterbacks all over the league.

fucking. stupid.
while I agree that actual deflated footballs isn't a big issue but you can't tell me that the marquee team in the league having a complete and utter lack of integrity isn't a big issue. those fuckers constantly bend and break the rules and don't give two fucks about it. they are cheating scumbags and fucking bald face liers. kraft, bellicheck and brady need to be suspended. enough of their bullshit.
As I pointed out earlier, if you want Brady suspended for this, fine. But the same report that everyone is pointing to as evidence also exonerates Belichick and Kraft. Calling for their suspension is just bald-faced hatred, nothing more.

Kraft showed a lack of respect for the league with his initial comments about the situation and then further disrespected the league with his comments the other day by basically saying the report is wrong. and bellichick defies the league on a weekly basis and shows a lack of respect for the authority of the league. lack of institutional control over the franchise that those 2 head. suspend them.
So it is about a lack of respect for the league? The same league that has been in the wrong on every major decision it has made since Roger Goodell took office, from concussions to domestic violence, has been been treated with disrespect? I wouldn't waste a single breath defending the honor of the NFL and I love football.

Suspending Kraft and/or Belichick would be both an overreach and a blatant attempt by Roger Goodell to earn favor with other franchises.

Goodell may not be earning his, what, $40M per year but he's less a puppet than Tagliabue was.

Very true. But he was the commish for so long. I barely remember him calling the draft picks. I can remember more clips of Rozelle calling the #1 pick than Tags.

For mine, I had to do a battery of physical therapy for a month before I could even get the surgery. Brutal healing process. Took me about it 18 months from injury to really get to 100%
