    The NFL and the National Anthem

    A couple non-personal legal notes: -Some states do have protections for political speech in the private workplace. Can’t remember which off the top of my head. But, at least in some jurisdictions, players who receive individual team discipline for kneeling may have a remedy. -If kneeling...

    The NFL and the National Anthem

    I messaged the Patriots’ official FB account and let them know that if they institute penalties for individual players who kneel, I’m out. I sincerely hope they take the same approach as the Eagles and let the players know they can do as they please. But I’m not holding my breath.

    Schefter: Patricia to become new Lions HC

    Most background checks do not check for arrests that did not lead to a conviction, largely because the EEOC has taken a hard line against using arrests to make employment decisions. That policy is based on the premise that using arrests in making employment decisions has a disparate impact on...

    2018 Gronk Watch

    He was shit faced and said whatever he felt at that exact moment?

    2018 Gronk Watch

    The guy is a writer for CBS Sports, so I’m guessing he’s not making it up.

    Nothing, when it comes to Patriots personnel decisions. If Brady and Gronk are, in fact, unhappy playing for BB, anything could happen. If some idiot team makes a Nothing when it comes to Patriots personnel moves. Brady would be the biggest of all, of course, but after Bledsoe, Milloy...

    Agreed. I’m guessing either a player and a lower pick or a 2 or 3. He’s great, but his injury history fills volumes and he may not want to play more than one more season.

    If they traded Gronk and/or Brady I wouldn’t be shocked. Nothing this team does personnel wise should be a shock at this point.

    Nate Solder to the Giants

    Well, this sucks, but seems like the right call given the price and his concussion history. I’m guessing they will start making moves on middle class FAs now that they have some cap room to play with. Solder’s replacement is likely to be a high draft pick, unless there’s someone to trade for.

    Because Nelson will likely cost more, plays outside where there is less need, and may be completely cooked.

    Colts Next Banner: We Almost Had McDaniels

    Maybe because they know him and trusted him? How often does this happen?

    Colts Next Banner: We Almost Had McDaniels

    I’m glad he’ll be coordinating the offense next year, but what a dick move. Really sucks for the assistants who are now under contract. What a great way to start with a new organization.

    2018 Patriots Roster

    Agree here. Pretty silly to criticize the team building approach here when you’ve been to three Superbowls in 4 years and won two. The defense has been slightly above average to poor over that period, and that was good enough for two championships and a couple breaks from a third. Can’t fill...

    Portis, Santana Moss, Ed Reed, Jeremy Shockey...it’s insane.

    SBLII: Patriots vs. Eagles, the Build-Up

    You sure? He was incredible in 2013 and these playoffs. Otherwise he’s consistently been one of the worst quarterbacks in the league by pretty much any statistical measure. Not mediocre, terrible. For example, he’s had a negative DVOA every season other than 2013. Other than ‘13 and ‘16...

    SBLII: Patriots vs. Eagles, the Build-Up

    I mean, I’m not going to be remotely surprised if Foles puts up a zillion yards against us, but him being horrible would be equally unsurprising. He’s not a good QB. I’m sort of stunned that people like Lombardi seem to have Nick Foles amnesia.
