BWV posted:Doesn't Reid getting a contract a year later prove that his blackballing wasn't for "football reasons" Not if there was evidence that two or more teams agreed not to sign him The NFL had to at least be covering up actual collusion, or at best email chains where owners say the n word a lot

Yeah they had to have found something during discovery thay they didn't want out. It also explains why there was news about the owners looking for a new commissioner recently.

NFL has way more money than those two, the only way they agree to a settlement (much less one for the amount that's being floated out there) rather than just letting the case drag on is if there's something really bad that may come up in discovery that they want buried and/or if they know that Kaep and Reid have them dead to rights on the collusion

Isn't the saddest punt ever that one in the downpour that went splat and didn't bounce or roll? That Steelers Dolphins game that ended 3-0

Crazy Ted posted:Pretty sure it might be this one: That... is flukey as poo poo  That's also entirely why Bois had the "yeah, no, this punt doesn't count for the sadness index because of outside influences, like a bad snap." A punt bouncing that far back is entirely a fluke, and I wouldn't count it

Is it limited to the NFL? Because if not I can save you some time, this is the saddest punt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpdqI8mmIVM

Also, I feel like Bois does a pretty decent job of really distinguishing a sad punt from a bad punt. Whiffing a punt is a bad punt. A perfect coffin corner from the 40 yard line when you're down by 2 with 1 minute left is a sad punt.

The leap of logic from "bad ref, possibly corrupt" to "FIXING GAMES EXCLUSIVELY AGAINST MY TEAM" is the dumb part

I had a feeling when I read this yesterday https://twitter.com/DianaMoskovitz/status/1098784341558099968 That something pretty big was gonna drop, but I thought it would be some washed up players or something. But no, it's this: https://twitter.com/Deadspin/status/1098988710941593603 I can't wait for Diana's longform article about it. She's one of the best in the business.
