Here's the article and the meat: http://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2016/05/09/tyler-varga-and-concussion-lasted-4-months/84145580/ quote:One morning the following week, Varga’s phone buzzed. It was a text message from one of the team doctors, instructing him to arrive at the facility at 2 p.m. that day to pick up some drugs to aid his recovery. “They’ll make you feel better,” he remembers the message saying. Varga hesitated.

Daily Fantasy Sports. They're getting shitcanned in a few states as they're being ruled as gambling, so I'm not sure they're still available to be in the running with the rule about legal action disqualifying them, or maybe being too tangential to football. I wouldn't lose any sleep over them being disqualified from the tournament, but drat if that poo poo's just douchey.

Quoting myself from the OP of the douche nomination thread, lending credence to the off season threadBen Has Tiny Weenus posted:Douche list Leperflesh- nominate any not in the spreadsheet, second those already in it. Quick suggestion for your spreadsheet, instead of listing who seconded the nominations, just keep a tally of how many people second it. This will be important for seeding.

I'm not even sure who to nominate but the NFL trying to strongarm the NIH into letting them do their own concussion study as propaganda surely has someone worthwhile. Maybe Dr. Richard Ellenbogen. quote:The investigation also concluded that the co-chairman of the NFL’s committee on brain injuries, Dr. Richard Ellenbogen, acted as one of the league’s “primary advocates” opposing Stern. Ellenbogen had also applied to lead the study in question, but was passed over by the NIH in favor of Stern. Or we could do Elliot Pellman again. quote:On June 17, Dr. Elliot Pellman, the NFL medical director who once ran the league’s discredited concussion research program, emailed Dr. Maria Freire, FNIH executive director, to say the NFL had “significant concerns re BU and their ability to be unbiased and collaborative.” He asked Freire to “slow down the process until we all have a chance to speak and figure this out.”

I'd like to Nominate Demontre Moore. We kinda forgot about him but he spent his few games with us this season extending drives by racking up roughing the passer calls because he's a dipshit and then he got cut because he attacked another player over some headphones.

Stephen A. Smith has a lifetime achievement award with his name on it. Last year was clearly peak douchebag as nothing really topped telling women to stop provoking men to beat them, or defending his support of noted domestic abuser Floyd Mayweather. However, here's what I pulled from this year:
