    So in what is blatantly using the media for leverage Shannon sharpe called Julio Jones and asked him what his plans were in a completely spontaneous and not rehearsed way. Julio wants out , get him out of the conference where he can’t hurt me anymore , which isn’t that often these past few years as he is always hurt.

    I stopped watching Tree when he wouldn't stop calling it "Corona-chan" and was equivocating between the protestors and the cops who were beating the hell out of them.

    So a member of the media calling up a player to ask questions is “using the media for leverage” now?

    I’ve seen reports that Jones didn’t know he was going to be on the air, that he thought it was just a conversation he was having with Sharpe.

    That did bother me a lot. Has I liked watching his stuff and him being salty about various things. I had hoped it was a mistake or he was listening to watching stupid stuff getting his news from it
    Still I do hope he is not like that

    I mean, he writes his own scripts. He produces his own videos. He ... I mean, it's not a mistake when someone keeps doing it. It's at best learned behavior, and even then you have to consider where he learned it.

    When someone shows you who they are, etc

    Love my Raiders, but really tired of sports owners taking cities to the cleaners for their billion dollar stadiums.

    Slow day news wise unless you are following the Rodgers drama in hopes of keeping/ acquiring him. Only new thing Bucs wise is AB officially signed his contract .

    You can make a good long living in the NFL if you’re good at a specialist role (Kicker, Punter, Long Snapper), because your body doesn’t take nearly the same abuse as the people taking and giving hits.

    I don't know where Pat McAfee stands on the spectrum of shittyness that is NFL players and "online personalities" but he seems mostly pretty chill, and I know him and Vinatieri have been good friends basically since McAfee was drafted so that's cool that he broke the news on his show.

    I am unsuprised that the NFL would have horrible racist policies like that.

    I am surprised that they fuckin notarized the shit by making it official policy.

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    It probably saved them more money while it was in effect then they lost in the settlement . So for that angle it makes sense to have it in official language. And after it becomes a problem say sorry and cut a check.

    I am surprised the settlement was the result of a judge throwing the lawsuit out in March

    I get that it was contingent on the NFL negotiating and reaching a settlement but WHAT THE FUCK

    So are they going to allow Trump to drive them into bankruptcy again?

    They don’t need to that’s gonna happen anyway due to the inevitability of trying to start a third pro football league after the NFL and SEC

    I did some digging to try and figure out where this came from. It looks like race-norming is part of clinical practice with dementia patients in order to avoid false positives in diagnosis. Here is a white paper (paywall) regarding some alternative individualized methods that try to avoid the (somewhat obvious) potential drawbacks. Race-Norming of Neuropsychological Tests. Neuropsychology Review volume 19, Article number: 250 (2009).

    I have little doubt that the NFL took advantage of a flawed practice to avoid paying, but they didn't invent the idea out of wholecloth. Greed is going to greed.

    Oh of course there's a fucking white paper explaining some "well, actually" bullshit.
