I look forward to when the NFL punishes the Texans more than the sex pest. Not IF but when. We all know it's going to happen. I just hope the owner of the Texans talks mad shit when the NFL does do it.

They can't even deal with Snyder and now they are going to hit the Texans? Goodell is just going to be fucked so hard after this. Maybe this will be the thing that leads to his downfall?
 

Demaryius Thomas diagnosed with stage 2 CTE​

Former NFL wide receiver Demaryius Thomas, who died last December, was posthumously diagnosed with stage 2 chronic traumatic encephalopathy, his parents told ABC News' Katie Conway.

Thomas died because of a seizure disorder that led to cardiac arrest, which was identified after donating his brain to research, his family said. The coroner's office in Fulton County has yet to officially rule on the cause of his death, per Ken Belson of the New York Times.

"Cardiac arrest, you know, is the way that they're trying to say - what kinda happened to him," Demaryius' father, Bobby Thomas, told Conway. He added that his son suffocated.


Thomas, 33, was found unresponsive in a shower at his home in Roswell, Georgia, in December. Local police said preliminary information led them to believe that Thomas suffered from a medical issue.

He experienced violent seizures that Dr. Ann McKee believes were the result of severe injuries he incurred outside of football, including a car wreck and a fall down stone stairs.

McKee, director of Boston University's CTE Center, explained that the degenerative brain disease, which can only be diagnosed posthumously, was not a direct factor in Thomas' death.

"CTE itself does not cause death," she said. "You don't die from CTE. What CTE does is it changes your behavior and your personality."

Thomas' parents noted that he dealt with paranoia, memory loss, headaches, and mood swings in the year leading up to his death.

The four-time Pro Bowler announced his retirement from the NFL last July after 10 seasons. The 2010 first-round pick spent most of his career with the Denver Broncos, winning Super Bowl 50 with the team, and also had stints with the Houston Texans and New York Jets.

The Georgia Tech product recorded 724 receptions for 9,763 receiving yards and 63 touchdowns over his pro career.

Not only that, but it's a 2024 4th/5th rounder. Not even a 2023 pick.

Like, that's the best they could get? Seattle didn't offer more or did Baker ixnay that location? I feel like backup QBs have gotten better hauls than a conditional 4th in two drafts.

The Bills traded a 7th rounder for Case Keenum to be their THIRD QB.

I'm about as close as a normie can get to the situation (lawyer friends in Cleveland that work closely with the team) and I can assure you the Browns ownership and management have an absolute hatred of Mayfield. It's really bizarre. I think Jimmy Haslam genuinely thought they were going to win the Super Bowl in 2020 and when they lost the divisional against Kansas City they lost their minds. Ironically, that wasn't Mayfield's fault. Mayfield gets hurt in 2021, his attitude gets in the way (which is a fault for him) and plays hurt, and the shitstorm started.

I still don't understand why they didn't give him 1 more year to play out his contract. Watson is going to be suspended enough to ruin the Browns hope at a playoff birth anyway.

I think the Browns believe that they have a super bowl roster and that Mayfield not being the type of guy to uplift a franchise like Joe Burrow as well as his attitude has soured relations. Add in that Mayfield has had so many progressive commercials and is nothing more than just a backup/Teddy Bridgewater type QB and you have what we have now.

That being said, I think the Haslams are shitty owners and the Browns have shown that despite the upgraded roster, that they haven't changed from being the lolcows which they are.

Going about it the wrong way. It would be better to wait until Watson or the Commanders were in the middle of their dispute about punishments to dump off a settlement on a Friday. Instead you are just drawing attention to yourselves about a fuck up that people are forgetting about

All their virtue signalling is really weird. There must be some good shit in those emails.

The Panthers are also playing Cleveland in Week 1. That's going to be a fun game.

"First black president" They're using the Kamala Harris playbook. Just completely ignore how she's clearly half Asian (probably Filipino, it's Vegas) and focus on her being "black" for diversity points.

Not really surprised on the move, but what did people expect from LV? Same town that spawned the IP2 cast, and you get buttmad over some racist emails?
