NFL - NEWS & NOTES

That isn't Tasker, Tasker was a WR and wore #89. That is Mark Kelso, S #38

 

Absolutely correct - my error. Thanks.

 

I stand corrected as well.

Beebe was clocked at 4.21 in the 40. Daaaaaaaaammmmn!

 

Here's some more info on the Jimmy G trade and why he didn't go to Cleveland.

Browns got dragged.

 

Former RB Larry Johnson dealing with CTE symptoms.

I probably have CTE thanks to all the head injuries I got on the asphalt playground in elementary school. I don't remember a single head injury playing rugby or football that wasn't a punch to the face.

 

But what's bad about this is he said on Wed on a report from CBSSportsline, he could be the next Aaron Hernandez and he forgets what he's doing and has a violent temper. Not good at all.

 

so you're not crazy after all? these injuries may explain some things. haha.

 

I also got in an atv accident with a big head injury like 7 years ago. I'm gonna be fucked.

 

"Knocks to the noggin build character!"
- umm... what's my name?

 

Chiefs take command of AFC West race with 30-13 win over Chargers

The Kansas City Chiefs took advantage of just about every mistake made by the Los Angeles Chargers on Saturday night.

And the Chargers made many mistakes.

The Chiefs scored 13 points off L.A. turnovers and 10 more points on drives following Chargers’ special teams mistakes in earning a 30-13 victory to take control of the AFC West race with two weeks remaining in the regular season.

Kareem Hunt rushed for 155 yards with a rushing touchdown and receiving touchdown and Marcus Peters intercepted Philip Rivers twice in leading the Chiefs. Alex Smith was also incredibly efficient with just seven incompletions on 30 attempts and 231 yards passing with two touchdowns.

Rivers was intercepted three times in total with Ron Parker getting the third interception of the night. Parker also recovered a fumble from Chargers running back Austin Ekeler as well.

 

^^Regime change means the Bengals are probably in the mix for a quarterback in this draft.

 

About time they gave up on Jones. The problem is that they wasted the last few years. Andy is pretty easy to cut now if they want but odds are he stays for a transition, coach and QB, unless he gets shipped out for draft capital.

My real intrigue is what they do with their thug culture, especially on defense.

 

Probably depends on the hire. If I were them I could see it doesn't work and clean house. They could use a Zimmer type again who doesn't put up with that stuff...

I'm wondering what happens with Caldwell in Detroit too... He may get to finish his one year extension if they make the Playoffs, I don't know.

 

NFL will investigate Jerry Richardson allegations

As of Friday, the NFL had no comment about the allegations of workplace misconduct against Panthers owner Jerry Richardson. As of Sunday, the NFL does.

“The league will conduct the investigation,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy tells PFT.

Note the language; not “an” investigation. “The” investigation. Which means that the investigation that the Panthers were planning to investigate will be placed on hold, perhaps permanently.

It’s the right thing for the league to do. The alleged conduct falls under the league’s Personal Conduct Policy. Issues of consistency compel the league to handle this situation the same way it would handle allegations against anyone else — players, coaches, executives, etc.

Per a source with knowledge of the situation, the league will retain an outside law firm to conduct the investigation.

However it plays out, this one will be watched very closely by the NFL and everyone connected to it. The first step will be to gather the facts, and to determine whether and to what extent the allegations can be corroborated. Once that information is harvested, it will become easier for the league to make decisions about what should be done.

For now, the right thing is being done. The Panthers should not be investigating the team’s owner, especially since a league investigation was inevitable. If anything, the team investigation would have been a dry run that, intentionally or not, could have shaped the evidence and prepared the witnesses for the looming arrival of the league’s investigators.

Which could be why the Panthers wanted to do the investigation in the first place. (PFT)

 

Gotta love how Jones is like you can't fire me, I quit.

P.S. we know the Bengals probably give him one more year or still haven't reviewed it yet so Jones is thinking of his next job lol.
