NFL offseason 2015: football will be right back after this brief intermission

@NYTSports
EXCLUSIVE: Hall of Fame won't allow Junior Seau's family to speak at his induction. nyti.ms/1CVjGMv

klassy

jeez

I read League of Denial last month, I'm surprised the Hall of Fame would let any late inductee's family speak.

it's a good time for me to step away from this game, I think.

it's never been defensible, but now more than ever its like "wait why do i follow this game?"

all are welcome to hop on the ILH bandwagon btw our sport is better and the people who play it and follow it are better too

otm

roughly the same amount of contact in both sports these days

the sixers aren't quite as interesting as the eagles yet but maybe in another year or two...

Whhhaaaat xp?

I guess amount maybe but not the extremity.

speaking somewhat facetiously to both the number of injuries prior to playoffs / amount of contact in the playoffs in the NBA and the new protect the qb / receiver rules in the nfl

the day i watch hoops over football is the day monkeys fly out my butt*

*not really just felt like saying it :)

Asking me to care about regular season hoops (or even post-season hoops in most circumstances) is like asking me to eat a peanut butter and doo-doo sandwich.

143 MPH!

"hey guys, quick question: i'm about to go 143 miles per hour... anybody have a gun? really shouldn't do that if anyone has a gun. oh, we have a gun. aw man. you know what, fuck it."

"also i'm really high"

what kind of car was it?

143 mph jeeeeez

oh and A TWELVE YEAR OLD

yeah that story went from 'hell yeah dude YOU AND I WE'RE GONNA LIVE FOREVER' at the speed then 'o that's dumb' at the gun then 'you are possibly not a good guy' at the revelation of 12 year old in the car

yeah it's like

143mph: WHOA

gun: WAIT WAHT

12 yo: HOLD THE FUCK UP

i wonder how they're going to replace bubba ventrone

somewhat doubt that's their major concern but good damage control

this should have been delivered at canton, the nfl is run by shitheads

Those shitheads are making oceans of money from this business and if public support were to wane, so would their profits. The NFL wants the entire brain injury issue to disappear from the public mind. This was just another instance of denial and suppression in an endless line of such actions by the NFL. I don't expect these attempts at suppressing public awareness will ever end.

RIP Frank Gifford

Shit, this is awful.

Iggles fan did one of those banner flyover hires, except the plane crashed on takeoff and the pilot was killed.

This will probably put an end to that practice (at least for the rest of this year).

Holy Moly: Geno smith got sucker punched in locker room this morning. Broken jaw. Out 6-10 weeks at least.

maybe this whole fighting thing amongst teammates isn't such a good idea after all

Ikemefuna "I.K." Chinedum Enemkpali (born July 3, 1991) is an American football linebacker formerly of the New York Jets of the National Football League (NFL). He was drafted by the Jets in the sixth round of the 2014 NFL Draft. He played college football at Louisiana Tech. Know for busting Geno smiths jaw after talking that shit

I assumed it was the jets owner or gm

honestly the most surprising thing about this is that it didn't happen on rex's watch

jeff george is somewhere, sitting by the phone

this happened to the jets you say?

hyperviolent environment is a helluva drug
