Going to be interesting to see the backlash that will come from this.The NFL informed clubs today any team employee who refuses a COVID-19 vaccination without “bona fide medical or religious ground” will be barred from Tier 1 or Tier 2 status, and thus have restricted access within the team facility and not work directly with players, per sources.
Holy shit. First thing NFL has done right...ever?View: https://twitter.com/TomPelissero/status/1382028227665821696

Aaron Donald accused of assaulting a guy in a club.
Spoilered the picture of the guy. It's not too bad.
Attorney Todd J. Hollis said his client, Spriggs, needed 16 stitches and suffered a broken orbital bone, a broken nose, a concussion and a sprained or broken arm.
His eye is swollen shut. He's not laying in a pool of blood. That's the scale I was working on.I guess I’ve seen people shot. I’m not sure what scale you’re working on but that’s pretty bad.
And the lawyer is apologizingDonald claims that this guy swung (and missed) a bottle at Donald's head. A brawl broke out and Donald actually helped get people off of the guy.

He said after seeing it, it’s clear that Donald was trying to break up the fight. He said this situation was simply a mix-up.
“I certainly extend an apology to Aaron for any problems this may have caused him. Aaron has certainly been through enough so we want to put this to rest,” Hollis said.
Hollis said the man who did attack his client somewhat resembles Donald, but he wanted to publicly apologize for the false accusations. He said Spriggs suffered a concussion, broken nose, orbital bone and possibly a broken arm in the fight.
It's been a little whole, so maybe hes matured now that hes 30. But isnt he kind of an asshole? At the very least, defensive rookie of the year seemed to go to his head.Sheldon Richardson’s contract terminated by the Cleveland Browns.

30 years old, had a seemingly strong and typical season last year with 44 solo tackes, 6 sacks, and a forced fumble. Seems like a BB type of player up front, would be an interesting add on the DLine if the Pats had room.
Reading your first 5 sentences I said, “Oh. He is Albert Haynesworth. Fuck that.”It's been a little whole, so maybe hes matured now that hes 30. But isnt he kind of an asshole? At the very least, defensive rookie of the year seemed to go to his head.
He was suspended 4 games for violating the NFLs substance abuse program.
Before a divisional game, he was caught on video saying, "Where the hoes at? Fuck this game."
He was arrested for going 143-mph and resisting arrest.
I'm sure theres stuff I'm missing, but hes also been on four teams in five years (soon to be five teams in six years).
He was a hell of a talent coming out of college, but nothing about his actions or the desire for teams to bring him back screams that he gives a shit about football. If I saw him in a Patriots uniform, I think my Albert Haynesworth PTSD would resurface.
Aaron Donald - 6’1”, 285lbs, chiseled from granite. I’m sure there were a few other dudes like that hanging around.
I did not go to law school, but perhaps review that video BEFORE the accusation?
That changes when they're wearing helmets.The new white uni doesn’t have enough orange. It’s extremely plain.
Good career, and life, moveAlex Smith has announced his retirement.
I mean.. it's an awesome story that he played, but.... he was so bad I can't imagine anyone would have signed him.In a way it makes the comeback all the more impressive. Dude busted his ass to get one more half season, as if just to prove he could do it. I hope he's satisfied with the career he had, he deserves a ton of respect both for coming back from incredibly high profile bust status as well as the return from injury.
I can't really disagree with that, so maybe impressive was the wrong word. Commendable might be more fair. He had to know this (or not making it back at all) was a possibility, so I give him a bit of extra credit for making it back when he was already well on the back 9 when the injury happened in the first place.I mean.. it's an awesome story that he played, but.... he was so bad I can't imagine anyone would have signed him.
And he was probably a fumbled punt away from winning a ring too. Solid career and player.Such an interesting career. Overall probably a "disappointment" from the standpoint of being a #1 pick, but he went 80-36-1 beginning in 2011 when Harbaugh took over the Niners.
Oh I still think it's a remarkable achievement, and kinda crazy he wanted to do it.I can't really disagree with that, so maybe impressive was the wrong word. Commendable might be more fair. He had to know this (or not making it back at all) was a possibility, so I give him a bit of extra credit for making it back when he was already well on the back 9 when the injury happened in the first place.
And about 6 interceptions his secondary dropped or knocked out of each other's hands.And he was probably a fumbled punt away from winning a ring too. Solid career and player.
Funny, I saw it bandied about on a Falcons discussion forum the other day that Alex Smith might have been a good backup QB signing if Atlanta doesn't pick a QB at #4 (or perhaps later in the draft). But then, we are the Falcons, so...I mean.. it's an awesome story that he played, but.... he was so bad I can't imagine anyone would have signed him.
I was rooting pretty hard for SF because I wanted to avoid losing to the NYG in another painful fashion, which of course then occurs.And about 6 interceptions his secondary dropped or knocked out of each other's hands.
On the other hand, I believe most of us were rooting pretty hard for SF in that game strictly based on not wanting to deal with the Giants DL.

Pretty crazy that he played this role twice - and that both teams almost won the Super Bowl (KC won it in year 2 post Smith)Smith picked up some grizzle along the way and was very solid for a few years. Might have been the good soldier of all time in moving aside for Kaep with that loaded team.
Forgot about KC - Smith decided to lap the field!Pretty crazy that he played this role twice - and that both teams almost won the Super Bowl (KC won it in year 2 post Smith)
I mean, they almost had to amputate the leg. As someone who went through exactly that due to a similar staph infection and returned to sports (granted, not as a starting QB in the NFL) I think it's pretty awesome, even if he wasn't exactly an all pro upon his return. They literally almost had to cut the fucking thing off.I can't really disagree with that, so maybe impressive was the wrong word. Commendable might be more fair.

And this is the competition committee proposal:
That proposal would limit teams receiving onside kicks to nine players in the setup zone 10-25 yards from the spot of the kickoff.
Rules limiting how kicking teams can line up have made it very difficult to recover onside kicks in recent years and both proposed changes were devised to improve the odds of a team mounting a comeback in the final minutes of games.
