The turf conditions for the Panthers-Lions game are mentioned in the article.

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.

      NHL Olympics Thread (Or just Olympics in general)

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Dude, I think I might be having Jarvy withdrawals... I ripped the sleeves off of all of my t-shirts in my sleep last night. Every bite of my Alpha-Bita cereal spelled Seth, this morning. And, I took 7 naps before lunch. I'm losing it guys! Jarvy's Jaunty Band of Jaggoffs are getting more play than he is... smh Team Canada doesn't treasure Jarvis the way he deserves. He should take his band down to Liechtenstein, get a bag of passports, and start his own Olympic team! The raw animal magnetism of Jarvilicious will bring in a handful of NHLers on its own. And, since the IOC believes in collective punishment, he could have his pick of the rookies. Then, just fill out the rest of the roster with the maple blooded great white northerners who couldn't make the top squad. Can't trust this assembled awesomery to just any old Liechtensteinien with a clipboard and a whistle. Gotta bring in a legend worthy of this gold medal gambit. A hockey HOFer with the balls to buck the system and the aura to match our maverick. Huere geil, Vaduz!!! 2030 Gold Medal guaranteed!

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      Tennessee isn't trading a QB on a 2nd round contract that has starting experience.  That's bad business.

      NFLTR: Panthers Offseason:Team Needs, pending free agents, draft picks

      By BeenPounding · Posted

      OT is the top priority as it is both an immediate and future need.  I wouldn't be past trading up slightly to get the guy we want.  You need that rookie contract right now.  Icky is a dead 17.5 million for the season.  Morton is 20+ mil for the season, Hunt is 20+ mil for the season.  There needs to be forward thinking regarding the future.   Caleb Lomu is a left Tackle, he's a solid prospect, he may be the best pick for us now and in the future.  I would seriously consider cutting Hunt after 2026, and let Lomu and Icky fight for the LT job, loser moves inside.  Icky's future may be at guard after this injury anyway.  If Damien Lewis keeps up his level of play he will need to be paid sooner rather than later.  Yosh and BC can be our top two depth OL at an affordable price.  You will need to look at OT again in 2027. Getting an EDGE for the sake of getting an EDGE outside of the top 10 is pretty risky.  I wouldn't be against eyeing someone like Cashius Howell, Derrick Moore, or TJ Parker in the 2nd (even if we trade a future pick to move up) or DDS in the third. I'd love to see us try to sign both Leo Chenal and Matt Millano in FA.   Chenal for the blitzing element we are missing from our LB corps and Millano for his elite coverage.  They could both work in tandem.  Remember, our FO has deep ties to both KC and Buffalo. I love thinking about the draft, but until Free Agency hits, we are clueless.  Looking at the strength of FA and the draft, OL is priority #1, LB #2, and EDGE #3.  We know what happens to Bryce when protection falls apart.
