Deion Sanders will be undergoing surgery in the AM for blood clots. In 2021, he already lost 2 toes due to blood clots that obstructed his left leg circulation. The blood clots formed within 2 week of a routine foot surgery to fix a dislocated toe and a nerve impingement. Earlier today, it was felt that he had a recurrent left leg circulation obstruction by blood clots in his groin. He has not feeling in his left foot, which does not bode well for the survival of the foot. Just a few minutes ago, I found out that they have also detected blood clots in the right groin, potentially placing structures of his leg at risk.

They are calling Friday's surgery an emergency................I find this curious, since surgery for this type of condition should typically be performed done immediately following diagnosis.

Prayers to an NFL icon.

Bots buying tickets...............for scalpers. Fans gets screwed. Same thing as has been going on here by guised computers. True fans have essentially been priced out of the market. The NFL has known that this has gone on forever. They could stop it, or at least intervene to slow it down. But, as anyone with half a brain has figured out, the NFL does not give a flip about the ordinary fan.

Fans frustrated by process for buying Jaguars-Bills tickets in London
Posted by Michael David Smith on June 23, 2023, 4:58 AM EDT


The NFL’s continued popularity in London, combined with a matchup of two playoff teams, has made buying tickets to this season’s Jaguars-Bills game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium an ordeal for fans.

Tickets went on sale Thursday morning at 7 a.m., and fans on social media complained that as soon as they logged on, they were greeted with messages telling them that more than 400,000 buyers were ahead of them in line. Some fans compared the experience to trying to get Taylor Swift tickets.

“It’s a very frustrating process as it isn’t tailored to Bills fans,” Robert Silva, a Bills fan from Sweden, told the Buffalo News.

“It’s a system that allows for bots to register, and real fans like me don’t get a chance to get tickets. Tickets will be available afterwards at reselling website for absurd prices. This is supposed to be a home game and they should have invested in having Bills fans there. I traveled to Buffalo a few times to see my Bills, but unfortunately it looks like I won’t be able to see them in London, just two hours away from my home country Sweden.”

With tickets sold out through official channels, many fans said they expected to pay exorbitant prices on resale sites, plus the cost of the trip to London.

This has become commonplace for the NFL’s Europe games, with similar stories told a year ago about the availability of tickets for the NFL’s 2022 game in Munich. The NFL’s continued forays into Europe are lucrative for the league, but ordinary fans are priced out.

Antonio Brown airs more grievances about the Buccaneers, Tom Brady, Alex Guerrero
Posted by Mike Florio on June 25, 2023, 11:06 AM EDT

Antonio Brown’s exit from the NFL came quickly and largely unexpectedly. Although he seemed at times to be destined for a memorable departure, no one could have envisioned Brown stripping out of his jersey and shoulder pads and leaving the field during the game.

The notion that Brown quit quickly became balanced by the fact that Brown eventually was told by former Bucs coach Bruce Arians to go. Regardless, Brown’s final act in the NFL was to run from the Tampa Bay sideline to the locker room on January 2, 2022.

He continues to make periodic headlines, but none for NFL football or anything close to it. (The latest A.B. story came from the arena league team he owns being kicked out of the league.) Brown recently appeared on Tyreek Hill’s podcast, It Needed To Be Said, for a lengthy and revealing discussion on various topics.

During the episode, Brown airs various grievances about the Buccaneers from his second and final season with the team. He suggests, for example, that the team tried to get him to come to the facility during his four-game suspension for having a falsified COVID vaccine card. Beyond the eyebrow-raising suggestion that the Bucs actually wanted him to show up at the practice facility during a suspension, he refused to do it because he wasn’t being paid.

He seems to think the Bucs at that point were out to get him, to run him off despite Brown having a torn ankle ligament that was keeping him from planting his foot and cutting.

Brown also complains about Tom Brady’s TB12 guru Alex Guerrero, in various ways. “He’s not a doctor, he don’t read the MRI,”

Brown says of Guerrero. “So like he’s digging in my ****, like thinking he [will] rev me up to play. But my ligament tore. I can’t really play at all.”

Brown says it led to internal conflict between Brown and Guerrero and the team’s trainer. Brown explains that he played against the Panthers after missing seven straight games even though he knew he shouldn’t, but that he still gained more than a hundred yards against Carolina.

Brown also says Brady began telling Brown during the 2021 season that he’s a “narcissist,” with Brown believing Brady was no longer trying to “support” Brown but to “control” him.

Brown explains that, after the Panthers game, he tried to persuade the coaching staff to let him rest before the postseason. He was told there would be no rest, especially with so many injuries at the receiver position. Then came a call from Brady encouraging Brown to face the Jets, telling Brown he’d be throwing him the ball during that game.

That helped Brown choose to do it (having incentives he was trying to reach helped, although Brown doesn’t mention those in the Hill podcast), with another Toradol shot, something Brown says gave him “Batman energy” to play while he knew he was hurt.

But Brown points out that he was still feeling “bad energy” from the situation, with mixed messages from the team and from Brady and from Guerrero, who (per Brown) didn’t want to train Brown after Brown relied more on the team’s trainers than Guerrero.

Brown says he paid Guerrero (and, indirectly, Brady) $100,000 to work with Brown during the season. “These boys like skinning me and they supposed to be the guys that having my back,” Brown contends. “You know you don’t charge guys that’s your guys. Because we want you to be your best. You being your best helps me. So these guys actually charging me to work with me, and it’s like the team actually paid this guy to like work with the players. I’m paying him on top of the payment [from the team] and he’s not even going out of his way.”

Brown then became frustrated during the Jets game. He says he was hurt, he was concerned the injury would get worse, he wasn’t getting the ball (despite Brady’s pre-game promises).

“[Guerrero] don’t want to work with me, I’m paying him, [Brady] don’t wanna throw me the ball, and you making me like I’m crazy,” Brown says. “So, I’m crazy? **** all you mutherfuckers, I’m out of here.”

One last point, until I’m out of here (until the next post). The description to the episode suggests that Brown discusses “why Tom Brady really unretired.” I listened to the whole thing, curious to hear Brown’s perspective. If he addresses why Brady actually unretired in early 2022, I flat-out missed it.

If anyone heard anything about why Brady truly unretired, let me know at florio@profootballtalk.com.
 
WR Michael Thomas has dealt with numerous injuries in the past. Last year, he suffered what was reported to be a left foot injury. Then later, it was more specifically reported as a toe injury This was taken to be a turf toe injury of the big toe. Conservative treatment failed and Thomas underwent surgery for his problem I have now found out that his problem was not a big toe turf toe. It was, in fact a severe dislocation of his 2nd toe. He has been dealing with a severe dislocation of this toe, extensive damage to cartilage, bone, ligaments, nerve, blood vessels and tendons may occur. Evidently, following surgery, he is still being affected. He says that he is feeling good for the next season. But this type of injury and subsequent surgery will have significant implications regarding his potential future ability to perform.

Jets are bracing for an involuntary Hard Knocks assignment
  • By Mike Florio

Published June 26, 2023 12:52 PM

The NFL apparently will not be listening to the preferences of the HC of the NYJ .

Per a league source, the Jets are bracing for the preseason Hard Knocks assignment, despite making known publicly (and privately) their lack of interest in serving as the focal point of this year’s show.

The Jets, Saints, Bears, and Commanders fit the criteria for being required to do the show in the 2023 preseason. Under a formula developed several years ago, the teams that can be compelled to do it include those without a new head coach, those who have not been to the playoffs in either of the last two years, and those that have not been the subject of the show for the last ten years.

The Jets, Saints, and Bears have made it clear that they don’t want to do it this year. The Commanders, we’re told, would do it, if assigned . (We’re also told the league prefers to wait until after the sale of the team is finalized, and that the Commanders could be this year’s in-season option.)

The league had commenced talking to some of the other 28 teams, hopeful to find a volunteer. The Lions were approached about a second straight appearance. They declined.

The Jets technically can’t decline, although the NFL typically does not make a team submit to Hard Knocks when it doesn’t want to.

Most fans would prefer the Jets. With high expectations, the presence of quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and the memories of a successful run in 2010 (when coach Rex Ryan had the Jets eating goddamn snacks), the Jets are definitely the most interesting of the four teams that can be required to do it — and more interesting than most if not all of the other 28 teams.

If the Jets get the short straw, it could actually make for a more compelling presentation, with a possible attitude emanating from the coaching staff and the rest of the team that they don’t want the cameras and microphones there. Now that would be a reality show.
 
The full 17 part-time officiating crews for 2023 are disclosed
By Mike Florio
Published June 27, 2023 09:07 AM

With up to 16 games played each week, the NFL maintains 17 full officiating crews. Still, almost all of them have other jobs.

It’s something we’ve known for years. It nevertheless becomes jarring to see the list of names, crews, officiating roles, and other employment laid out for all 17 crews by FootballZebras.com.

All 17 referees, the leader of each crew, have other jobs. Brad Allen (10th season as a referee) is a non-profit CEO. Tra Blake (second season) is a software quality assurance manager. Clete Blakeman (14th season) is an attorney. Carl Cheffers (16th season) is a sales manager. Land Clark (fourth season) is a chief building official. Alan Eck (first season) is a tax manager. Adrian Hill (fifth season) is an aerospace software engineer. Shawn Hochuli (sixth season) is a financial advisor.

John Hussey (ninth season) is a sales representative. Alex Kemp (sixth season) is an insurance agent. Clay Martin (sixth season) is a high-school administrator and basketball coach. Scott Novak (fifth season) is a sales manager. Brad Rodgers (fifth season) is a college professor. Shawn Smith (sixth season) works in finance. Ron Torbert (10th season) is an attorney. Bill Vinovich (15th season) is a C.P.A. Craig Wrolstad (10th season) is an athletic director.

The vast majority of NFL officials have other jobs. Scrolling through the list, we see rancher, real estate agent, banker , teacher, CEO, firefighter, engineer, federal agent, pharmaceutical sales, agribusiness, law-firm manager, and many more.

It shouldn’t be that way. The stakes are currently very high for the NFL, and getting higher. For everyone else with an important connection to the game, it’s a full-time job, with no other professional commitments or distractions.

That would require a greater financial commitment from the league, both to fully compensate the officials for having them work all year long — and to persuade them to give up their other jobs and go all in with the NFL.

To maximize the accuracy of calls and (perhaps as importantly) to create the impression that the NFL is trying to maximize the accuracy of calls, the change is needed.

During the season, all officials would gather in a centrally-located home office (Dallas, Kansas City, etc.) for a full day or two of meetings to review important calls from the prior weekend, with the goal of ensuring consistency among all crews and addressing the latest trends and habits of the various teams.

In the offseason, there would be exercise sessions, more meetings to review anything and everything from the prior season, discussions regarding potential input for rule changes, simulations, participation in OTA and minicamp practices, and whatever else could be devised to ensure that, when football season comes around, the officials will be ready to go.

Through it all, the NFL duties would never be something an official finds time to address in whatever extra time the official can carve out between primary work duties and family obligations. It would not be a hobby/passion that grew into a side hustle that becomes one of many plates that must be kept spinning from December through January.

It would be, it should be, the full professional focus of every official. All year long.

Eventually, it will be. There will be something that forces the NFL to finally peel off the dollar bills necessary to make it happen. A scandal, a controversy, a bad call in a big spot that forces the NFL to do better when it comes to making calls.
And then, after a year or two of the NFL using full-time officials, most will wonder how the NFL held things together for so long with officials who weren’t fully committed to one of the most important functions in the sport.

Corey Davis is a name I would be interested in if cut by the Jets. He has not lived up to his draft pedigree obviously. But when healthy is a solid WR2. Overshadowed by AJ Brown in Tennessee and injured/Zach Wilsoned with the Jets. He’s a solid player. He had two years of Mariota and Wilson throwing ducks to him in between Tannehill in 2019-20.

Ultimately I expect him to be cut and signed by a team who sustains injuries at WR in camp.

He has the ability to take over games. But also completely disappear. Perfect example is that 2020 season with AJ Brown and Tannehill. He played 17 games including playoffs. Had five games 100+ yards receiving. And three games with 0 catches!

Competition for the outside WR position. I see Collins and Brown as pure outside WRs

Then Woods can play anywhere.

Then the rest of the roster are slot WRs imo.

Collins and Brown have never had a 100 yard receiving game.

Looking at just last season:

Davis had two games over 80 yards and two over 70 yards.

Brown had one game over 90 yards, one over 80 yards then next highest total 68 yards.

Collins’ two highest yardage totals last season were 82 and 65 yards.

Woods one game over 80 and one over 60 just like Collins.

Even though Davis was hurt part of last season and playing with Zach Wilson he still had higher quality games than the options on the roster. He’d be a starting outside WR on this team imo.

Report: NFL commences investigation of latest Tyreek Hill incident
  • By Mike Florio
  • Published June 29, 2023 05:03 PM

For the NFL, actions always speak louder than words.

Last week, the league had no comment when asked by PFT whether it was looking into the latest incident involving Dolphins receiver Tyreek Hill. This week, the NFL officially launched an investigation.

Andy Slater of Fox Sports 640 reports that the league wants the video , and it also wants to interview “every police officer and detective involved in the Tyreek Hill investigation.”
On June 18, Hill allegedly hit a man in the neck during a dispute at a South Florida marina.

The league likely will delay concluding an investigation and/or imposing punishment until the criminal investigation regarding the situation has ended.
If the NFL imposes discipline under the Personal Conduct Policy, the penalty could be enhanced by Hill’s history. In 2015, he pleaded guilty to choking and punching his then-pregnant girlfriend.

Report: ESPN to lay off “roughly 20" on-air talent today
By Mike Florio
Published June 30, 2023 10:07 AM

Earlier this month, it was reported that ESPN on-air layoffs would happen toward the end of the month . A few have happened, but not many.

Today, the month ends. And, reportedly, a cluster of on-air layoffs are coming.

Michael McCarthy of FrontOfficeSports.com reports that ESPN will lay off “roughly 20 ” on-air employees on Friday.

It remains to be seen whether and to what extent the departures will impact ESPN’s NFL coverage. Recently, former Patriots linebacker Rob Ninkovich was let go. Earlier this month, Andrew Marchand of the New York Post mentioned Steve Young and Suzy Kolber as possible departures.

The moves are part of a broader restructuring aimed at cutting costs. Which is what corporations sometimes do. Even when the company is operating in the black, pressure always exists to generate more and more and more profit, especially when those companies are owned by shareholders who buy and sell the company’s stock in public marketplaces.

ESPN has been owned by Disney since 1995. The last major layoffs happened in 2017, when Trent Dilfer and Danny Kanell (among others) were laid off from ESPN’s NFL coverage.

Hassan Haskins charged with aggravated assault by strangulation

Published June 30, 2023 06:23 PM

Titans running back Hassan Haskins faces an aggravated assault by strangulation charge after a violent argument with his girlfriend, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

According to police records obtained by Wayne Steen of ScoopNashville.com, Haskins became angry after his girlfriend “liked” another man’s Instagram photo on June 22. The couple argued, and when she didn’t stop throwing his shoes onto the floor, he reportedly pushed her to the ground, causing an injury to the back of her head.

She states that he then pulled her from the closest as she fought back, and Haskins tossed her onto the bed, where he strangled her with both hands for approximately 10-15 seconds. The couple continued fighting, exchanging slaps, before he threw her onto a dog crate and strangled her a second time, according to ScoopNashville.com.

She provided police with photos of bruises to her face, neck and shoulder.

On Thursday, the couple got into another violent argument after discussing an end to their relationship, according to ScoopNashville.com. Makiah Green accuses him of kicking through a door in their home, cocking a handgun and stating, “I hope you would,” after she threatened to slash his tires after ripping off a $5,000 chain from his neck.

Haskins told police that Green attacked him with a broom, strangled him from behind, threw his PS5 from upstairs and put a hole in the wall. He provided a video to police of her attacking him and showed them a red bump on his neck.

Haskins was jailed for the first incident and now is free on a $10,000 bond. Green was jailed for the second incident and charged with two counts of felony aggravated assault/strangulation and felony vandalism. She is free on a $7,500 bond.

Rep. Jamie Raskin urges NFL to disclose outcome of Mary Jo White’s investigation of Commanders
By Mike Florio


Published June 30, 2023 10:29 PM

The NFL has repeatedly vowed to disclose the outcome of attorney Mary Jo White’s investigation of the Washington Commanders. On Friday, a member of Congress urged the NFL to honor its promise.

Via the Washington Post, Representative Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) sent a two-page letter to Commissioner Roger Goodell regarding the subject.

Raskin said he is “heartened by” the “stated commitment to full transparency,” and that he expects the league to follow through on its promise.

“I write with regard to the National Football League’s . . . investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct and financial malfeasance against Washington Commanders owner Daniel Snyder,” Raskin wrote, per the Post. “More than a year has passed since your pledge to ‘share the results of that investigation,’ yet, to date, no part of the information has been released to the public. In light of the impending sale of the Commanders franchise, I urge you to honor your commitment to release the report in its entirety and ‘take additional disciplinary action if warranted.’”

Goodell repeatedly has said the report will be publicized — unlike the report from attorney Beth Wilkinson, which was swept under the rug with a cursory summary provided to the public on July 1, 2021.
https://page.clicktrk.online/6409f049bff5570001fc9c07
“As you have previously recognized, with one of the most prominent platforms in America, ‘the NFL is held to a higher standard, and properly so,’ ” Raskin wrote to Goodell. “You now have an opportunity to show the American people — and, most importantly, the victims of the Commanders’ toxic workplace — that you will adhere to this higher standard by ensuring transparency and accountability, by releasing Ms. White’s full report, and by taking additional action consistent with the findings of the report.”

There’s no reason to believe the NFL won’t disclose the report. There is ample reason to wonder whether White’s report will reach a far different set of conclusions with Snyder selling the team than she would have reached if Snyder had dug in his heels and refused to sell.

Yes, some would say that’s a conspiracy theory. But White began her investigation in February 2022. Why hasn’t she finalized it?

It’s reasonable to think she has waited because the league (her client) has wanted her to wait, with the subtle (or otherwise) understanding that, if Snyder finally walks away, she won’t reach the kind of conclusions that would have made him run.

Snyder has reached an agreement to sell the team to a group led by Josh Harris. The NFL plans to meet to consider approval of the deal on July 20.

After the sale is approved, our guess is that the league will release a sanitized and whitewashed report from White that finds inconclusive evidence to support the allegations against the team and Snyder.

Hassan Haskins charged with aggravated assault by strangulation

Published June 30, 2023 06:23 PM

Titans running back Hassan Haskins faces an aggravated assault by strangulation charge after a violent argument with his girlfriend, Turron Davenport of ESPN reports.

According to police records obtained by Wayne Steen of ScoopNashville.com, Haskins became angry after his girlfriend “liked” another man’s Instagram photo on June 22. The couple argued, and when she didn’t stop throwing his shoes onto the floor, he reportedly pushed her to the ground, causing an injury to the back of her head.

She states that he then pulled her from the closest as she fought back, and Haskins tossed her onto the bed, where he strangled her with both hands for approximately 10-15 seconds. The couple continued fighting, exchanging slaps, before he threw her onto a dog crate and strangled her a second time, according to ScoopNashville.com.

She provided police with photos of bruises to her face, neck and shoulder.

On Thursday, the couple got into another violent argument after discussing an end to their relationship, according to ScoopNashville.com. Makiah Green accuses him of kicking through a door in their home, cocking a handgun and stating, “I hope you would,” after she threatened to slash his tires after ripping off a $5,000 chain from his neck.

This is a few steps ahead of where reasonable people would cite “irreconcilable differences” and move on.
 
Former Las Vegas Raiders, now Saints, tight end Foster Moreau announced he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in March. He immediately began treatment. Today, after 2 months of treatment, he is if full remission. For those that need to hang your hat on his prognosis.............it is quite good short term and long term. The overall survival rates for people with all stages of Hodgkin's lymphoma combined are as follows: Survival rate at one year: ~95% Survival rate at five years: 90% Survival rate at 10 years: ~80%
