The game we call football ("American football," that is, to distinguish from the game the rest of the world calls football that we call soccer) is inherently unsafe and cannot be made safe and still be the same game. It's just an inconvenient fact hiding in plain sight. So much dishonesty in the game. "Football is safe if we make enough rule changes." "College players actually are student athletes." Yada yada. Time for some honesty in sports reporting, but we don't get it — with occasional exceptions such as Mike Florio. Mothers, don't let your sons play football.
Still haven't heard anyone confirm that Tua actually had a concussion Sunday. Last nights head meeting turf certainly was enough to cause the injury. Perhaps the Doctors were guilty of something Sunday, but perhaps they were not. If you have ever had a real back spasm, it can look very much like what happened to Tua on Sunday.
If only the NFLPA and the NFL could jointly find medical personnel to tackle these concussion issues. Sadly, as if the NFL wants to share anything with the NFLPA unless the NFLPA screws itself over?
Tua's injury last night as he laid there brought back the memory of Darryl Stingley of the Patriots. Something must be done to prevent such things from happening (but that has been said forever with nothing being done). Time to wake up Mr. Goddell.
Concussion, neck injury or whatever. When you see a player get up, stagger, and fall SOMETHING is wrong. He never should have been allowed back in the game Sunday and he for damn sure shouldn't have been playing last night.
It's a dangerous sport. No one is making the players play. They're making millions doing so, and they wouldn't want to be doing anything else. Make it as safe as possible where possible, but everyone must accept the fact that these athletes are willing participants.
Can someone please ask the Union leadership if they ever considered hiring and and having the independent nuro consultant work work for the UNION not the NFL since the union is in the business of protecting its players.
Also when is Florio getting the Pie to the face and is there any way we can get Chris Simms to deliver it because I think Chris would really enjoy that
If both doctors agreed with the same diagnosis, please provide the findings in which they both agreed on from that Sunday game . Please provide the public that support your media outlets in the sport of football. I'm hoping that you will provide the truth and follow the ethics of journalism.
Please talk about how the NFL had double standards of how they paid out players for the CTE for Black players versus White players. Also how they came up with the standard of measurement of Black players intelligence in terms of their brain was different from their counterparts of White players. Also speak about how racism was used in defining the policy.
The NFL has wanted more games for years to cash in on profits. Did they even consider the brutality of the game was going to cause elite players to get serious injuries along the way? When the Super Bowl/Playoffs come how many teams best players will be playing?
Florio is someone I like and don’t like at the same time. But has nice hair for an older dude

I would not want to be cross examined by Mike!😅
Florio is your typical lawyer always second-guessing and looking for someone to blame about practically everything….
Let Tua fish! 🙌🏼
They should be able to up the roster size on Thursday nights, 53 to 58 maybe?
I still don't understand why the media has to act like the conscience of the NFL.
These athletes know what they are in for, injures are GOING to happen.
How about coming up with an interesting story and not drama?
Listening Florio and you come to the conclusion that in his estimation the NFL should outlaw tackling and move on to flags.
Very sad watching this on TV in real time!
Maybe teams don't need to be playing on Thursday at all
Let's just conclude the NFL is done within 15-20 years

The real story is both those hits roughing the Passer

Eliminate these idiotic Thursday Night games.
I don't get floros shtick.
I don't watch him.
You can tell he is a lawyer.
It's annoying.
The sky is falling the sky is falling always with him.
You have to be a little crazy to play violent sports.

Plot twist, Florio got cut from the JV squad and has been trying to get rid of football ever since.
He’s serious talking about how he “could have” died. Yeah, but he didn’t. Neither has any other player in as long as I know of.

Dan Patrick is a white supremacist

Maybe…we need an independent evaluator… Maybe? These are somebody’s loved ones we’re talking about here. 😡🤬

Listen to Florio's opinion is like having hemroids
