NFL owners want this story to go away, but it doesn't look like it will anytime soon.

Whoa...whoa...whoa......WHOA.

Are you telling me that an NFL funded study didn't have accurate results????

"The NFL was no rookie at the Disinformation Playbook by the time Omalu published his initial paper on Webster in 2005. High-profile concussion-related retirements and injuries in the early 1990s had prompted reluctant NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue to create the NFL-run Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee (MTBI). Beginning in 2003, MTBI published research in the journal Neurosurgery (whose editor-in-chief consulted for the New York Giants) that heavily downplayed the breadth and severity of concussions."

It’s just strange to me that a filthy rich person doesn’t take more pride in the grass on the field. They can afford it. Just seems like a cheapo way of cutting costs. More evidence that they don’t care about player safety. 

Don't forget the cities as well in this. Most stadiums in the NFL are leased not owned by the owners. So when they use the stadium for multi-use and leverage that purpose as the driving factor for turf... they are to blame as well. Which also might make it hard for the NFLPA to get this overruled bc the city doesnt have any obligation to the NFL or the NFLPA.

Tepper values using his stadium for multiple purposes over football.  He pretty much has said so.

Isn’t there like a grass-turf hybrid that is supposed to be the best? 

The hybrid type of grass is a cool season grass which grows well in the UK/Europe but not in the south. They haven’t done it with Bermuda which is more than half the grass surfaces.

Good luck getting Jerry Jones, Blank and Kronke to tear out a giant holes in their new stadiums so they can roll out a field into his parking lot for sun.  😂

You can’t put the genie back in the bottle after these domes were built. You can’t roll in a grass field that doesn’t get sun. It won’t grow. And newly sodded fields are worse as the roots haven’t bonded together yet to make a solid surface.

It should not go away. These asshole owners need to start giving a $hit about the players.

      Carolina Panthers pick No. 19-2026 NFL Draft

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Just going off the draft sims and he's always sitting around 20 lol. First year in a while where we haven't been thinking about the draft already in late October so haven't really looked into the top 15-20 picks yet. Also the qb class is super weak so he probably will sneak up into 10-15

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
