Very thankful today for the Patriots' trainers/medical staff for the way they handled my concussion in 2011.
I was out on my feet, they took it seriously, and I spent the year on IR. They saved me from myself. I would've rushed back if they let me. They didn't.
Prayers for Tua.

A LOT of unvaccinated NFL players have received Toradol injections prior to every game — and asked zero questions regarding risks, side effects, etc…
I have ZERO issue with anybody making personal medical decisions, but this debate is rife with hypocrisy.

I know @drewbrees a man of Country and God, I'm sure he can help me level this one...
Kneeling during the National Anthem is "disrespectful" to the flag. How do you feel about a Bible being used as a prop in a political photo op. Is that disrespectful to the Church?

Mahomes can walk off this field right now... drive home... and never play another snap of football, and he'd be 1st ballot Hall Of Famer.
He's only been a starting QB for 5 seasons in the NFL. This has never happened before. Mahomes is a mind-blowing talent.

Dislike what Deshaun Watson is doing?
Imagine you graduated law school, top of your class, and you were forced to practice at a firm that bungled resources, surrounded you with poor talent, and the partners overlooked how lucky they were to have your services.
You'd want out.

The Manti Te'o documentary was jaw dropping.
Manti and I were teammates during his first 2 years in the NFL (my final 2 seasons). The dude showed up to work like a pro and wore a smile most days. You would never know how deeply affected he was by this catfishing event. (1/2)

You’d find a new head coach.

Justin Tucker set up on the Chiefs side of the field. Kickers have been doing this on purpose for years, trying to irritate.
Kelce and Mahomes did the right thing tossing his gear... should have tossed it further. Play stupid games, earn stupid prizes.

Watching Andrew Luck's retirement press conference brought back a lot of memories. My "last day" was Tuesday, October 13th, 2015... my decision was made at a hotel lobby bar in Detroit after a group tryout with the Lions. Here's my story...

As a former Chargers player and San Diego resident, I'm personally bothered how the team has handled their move away from the city of San Diego, the parting of ways with Eric Weddle, and NOW the treatment of Philip Rivers as he enters free-agency.
What an absolute mess.

I don't know Andrew Luck, but he isn't a coward, he loves football, and he isn't giving up because rehabilitating injuries is "too hard."
Everyone has their steak and bourbon moment eventually... his was in front of the world, and he handled it with class and poise.
Cheers.

Well, after 2 weeks...
I get it, and I like it.
The AAF is a College All-Star Game atmosphere with a deeper talent pool, staged on a weekly basis.
Guys are out there playing for a final shot, or a first look, or 2nd chance.
High Stakes.
High Talent.
Good Stories.

Le’Veon Bell’s teammates are brainwashed.
Ownership/management/coaches have these players doing their dirty work! You DON’T comment on someone else’s contract. If Bell’s holdout succeeds in earning him more money it benefits the union.
This is ABSURD. #TeamBell

NFL promotes 'player safety' ...but players should risk brain & body for a max of $250K for a 17th game?
Ok... sure... owners should only make $250K as well, the rest of the profits should go toward lifetime health care for the players and the of funding post career benefits.

Mac Jones is wearing a SCUBA suit under his uniform. Tom Brady always wore one in cold weather, he passed the idea on to Brian Hoyer (who wears a SCUBA suit in cold weather), and Hoyer passed this on to Mac…
Part of the reason why it’s important to have a veteran in the room.

Aaron Donald is arguably one of the greatest players of all time. TJ Watt tied the single season sack record.
Micah Parsons deserves the Defensive Player of the Year. No defender has impacted his team more than Parsons, the Cowboys had a historically bad defense a year ago.

Witnessed the Padres rebuild as fan, now a broadcaster.
NEVER seen this city like this.

It’s pretty incredible that the Patriots made it to the postseason. A year ago this franchise looked completely listless with an aging placeholder at QB.
Mac Jones has a bright future ahead of him. The AFC East is going to be a Bills/Pats fistfight for the foreseeable future.

Apparently, while Arians was rehabbing the achilles in the early mornings, offensive coordinator Byron Leftwich and Brady would work on the week's game plan. Arians would later come in and take the red pen to work they'd done. The QB and OC felt undermined, there was tension.

Daniel Jones went to the locker room.

Chargers selecting Joe Alt at 5 will upset fans and will feel like a reach until it's late in the season and they can control the clock with the run game and Justin Herbert is healthy for a playoff run.

If Sean McVay can be a hired at 30 years old with zero head coaching experience, the Seahawks could take input from their 32 year old Super Bowl winning QB who has anchored their franchise for most of the last decade.

Thank you to Bill Belichick and the @patriots for drafting me in 2009. Starting my career with the Patriots was an incredible opportunity, learning from a tremendous staff of coaches and playing alongside Hall of Fame talent. I still think cutting me in 2012 was a HUGE mistake ...maybe even a career defining mistake for Bill. Just a crazy bad decision. Senseless. ...but I digress. Congrats coach! #patriots
