kind of amazes me how much of my youth watching the NFL had no instant replay. none from 1992 - 1998.
and I remember the one time I saw it used in 1991 before they scrapped it for six years, I told my grandpa "this is taking almost as long as an entire quarter", as they waited for the review ref to comment. in reality it was probably only two minutes long.

“Pass incomplete,” Reader told umpire John Keck with the walkie-talkies used for instant replay system communication. “Pass is complete,” Keck heard. Inadvertently, the touchdown stood. The Raiders won by a touchdown — 24-17.

Dolphins/Ravens and Dolphins/Bills were both obviously the interesting match up going into the past two weeks and neither was on national broadcasts.
It is pretty much impossible to tell though who is really that good this early in the season.
Can't say I saw Indy beating KC today.

upset with myself cuz I tried to bet the under thinking the game would go exactly like it did but wound up misclicking and taking the over instead. figured I'd let it ride cuz it was destiny. oh well. that game was awful.

more harmful call to the Giants as the Cowboys still got 3 points on their drive, this might have kneecapped the Giants drive

props to the Cowboys for getting the line and getting the next play off before it could be challenged. McCarthy's Packers sure as hell could never do that

In honor of Raiders week, I present a 🧵 about my Favorite Hurricane Josh McDaniels Stories:1. After trading away the young nucleus of our offense including Jay Cutler, Josh said to the entire team “Fellas don’t worry about the QB situation, I can turn a HS QB into an All Pro.”— Tyler Polumbus (@Tyler_Polumbus) September 29, 2022

definitely seemed like a trend 10-15 years ago that teams would equate a "winning mentality" in a coach to "being as unforgiving an asshole as possible", which was funny because guys like Greg Schiano went 6-10 pretty much every year until they got fired. I wonder how much of that was because Bill Belichick came off that way.

The head coaches that do the best are the ones who hire great coordinators, sign the best players (if they have GM privileges) , doesn't fuck up clock management, and doesn't fuck another staff member's wife.

If Tua takes the field tonight, it's a massive step back for #concussion care in the NFL.If he has a 2nd concussion that destroys his season or career, everyone involved will be sued & should lose their jobs, coaches included.

as someone who suffered a severe tbi, i just crumple inside watching that. there was a cadre of docs and therapists making sure i COULD NOT hit my head again for two months. i was belted into a wheelchair for five fucking weeks to make sure i could not risk a fall, my bed was zippered and fucking locked at night.
it is true our situations were not totally similar re extent of damage, but they were not fucking around at all with the risk of a second impact. how nfl could allow that is a fucking crime to me now. (documentary _the crash reel_ covers this issue and a thousand other issues very very well).

in concussion protocol.
well after a brief period of rare light in a Dolphins season, of course it's all going to return to the same ugliness that dogged us prior to season.
going back to soccer where the drama is much more petty and light
― stank viola (Neanderthal), Friday, 30 September 2022 15:57 (one year ago) link
(and not actually *life-threatening* like the NFL)
Hmm. Honestly is it the protocol itself that's too lenient?
Speaking with @judybattista on @nflnetwork, NFL Chief Medical Officer Dr. Allen Sills says Tua Tagovailoa was checked for concussion symptoms every day since Sunday. Points out independent neuro expert had to clear him. Once review is done, full results will be released publicly.— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) September 30, 2022
― stank viola (Neanderthal), Friday, 30 September 2022 18:01 (one year ago) link
Dolphins HC Mike McDaniel said Tua Tagovailoa sat next to him on the plane. They talked about how he was feeling for 15-20 mins then Tua pulled out his phone to watch MacGruber and they laughed together, per McDaniel.— Cameron Wolfe (@CameronWolfe) September 30, 2022
