Players with big egos DESERVE brain damage and the brain damage will continue until they get their egos "under control".

Here I always thought the NFL, with their millions of dollars of "programs" about player safety, was supposed to discourage that.

But I didn't know about the Big Ego Exception.

I found that pretty interesting.  I never knew.

You expect the defense to not tee off on a QB running the ball into the endzone and that QB pulls up and stands tall...ripe for a chin shot?

Yea you haven't been watching the NFL at all for long...back in the 80s and previous(hell some in the 90s) that'd be a soft play....

Listening to the announcers today try to explain how the hit in the head today wasn't a penalty because of the various requirements was sickening. The fact is the league gave notice from day one this season that cam's head is not going to be well protected. Now in 3/4 games he has been hit in the head. Legal hits or not, there is a weakness being exploited at severe detriment to Cam's health. His teammates are being silenced as well as seen in the trai turner taunting penalties. It's bullshit. Some of our toughest guys are being reined in by the league until we comply.

He decided to be a runner and then hot dog it... 

Please point out where on that play he was "hot dogging" it.

He slowed down, yes.  He clearly wasn't aware about what was going on around him, yes.

And for that, assholes like you think he deserves a crown of the helmet to his head.

Does that kind of poo sound good in your head?  Because it sure as hell sounds dumb as fug after you wrote it down.

You do understand the NFL doesn't allow intentional shots to the head with the crown of the helmet against runners either?

Right?

Which "NFL" do you watch where that is allowed?

Or are you another member of "he was dumb ergo he deserves brain damage" crowd?

Considering that wasn't the crown of his helmet we have no problem here...

They showed it over and over again and it wasn't a crown of the head. It was an intentional HEAD shot but not with the crown, which you can do to a runner. You need to ask yourself about the rules and where the crown of a helmet actually is. There will be 0 fines for that too watch...old school football play can't be mad at it...don't fugin walk into the endzone...it's that simple.

You should watch the play again. He was not hit with the crown of the helmet. It was basically the ear hole where the contact was.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
