Interesting and one take on it. As a Cowboys fan their list of free agents isn’t as bad as I thought.

Well more is coming out. The number of complainants remains at 16,
and now I figure there is no telling how many more before too long,
as one of the details leaking out sounds to me like sexual assault especially since the unwelcome touching was repeated,
though there hardly looks to more than me enough there for any criminal proceedings to be at hand, as in the Watson case.
But at this sordid rate, I guess now we wait for it?
I think Tucker’s career is done, but hey it’s not like the NFL got ahead of that Watson situation and many others, right?
Ray Rice and others were such a long time ago too, remember?
Now Tucker has not been reported for what would be an act of outright violence whether sexual or otherwise in nature,
but that’s where such physical conduct as described in the latest report goes quickly or perhaps did go somewhere yet to be revealed,
especially after the therapist clearly expressed NO in response to his sexual move twice.
And then there are also multiple reports of what he did in the sessions otherwise that you can read as well.

I don’t put any stock in a consensual rub and tug complaint which happens thousands of times a day. I put a lot of stock, however, in a sexual assault claim or allegations of violence. If proven the punishment must be appropriately harsh. No matter where this ends you would have to think that Tucker’s career is over.

So as discussions in changes in rules are usually winding and long, I created another thread last year, and here’s the latest on the first discussion on changes to the NFL kickoff, which we do know must be discussed because the new kickoff was only a one-year trial. There will be changes I do think based on what we are hearing already, but my view is that there will be less changes and not more as appear to be in discussion as noted here:

Now this makes the news because he’s associated with an NFL team, but wow there are those people everyday who basically know what they are doing to park illegally, such as in this case has been against the law well before 9/11, but it’s not like they even pretend to care, such as this guy.
I don’t wish him well. Dude, you don’t park your vehicle and leave it unattended in the baggage claim area or drop-off lane at the airport. The law does not get changed just for you and your selfishness either.

And this “crisis,” which was founded after the snub in 2018 but the initial reports were hasty, has been averted.
They will roll on for at least this matter:

Unfortunately I will have to lower my opinion of the Eagles back to where it was before I heard that they had rejected the invitation.
I also hadn’t realized that no Super Bowl champion has been to the White House since the Eagles were snubbed by Trump in 2018. Don’t be the first Philadelphia! In 2018 they were disinvited by Trump because a couple of them wouldn’t bend the knee. Only a totalitarian would be concerned about that. Crazy Tim Thomas, the Bruins goalie when they last won the Stanley Cup, famously wouldn’t go because of Obama and an aversion he had to democracy, but that didn’t stop the rest of the team from going. If it was me I wouldn’t go. It would take months to rid my skin of the evil cooties that would be passed from Trump during the customary handshake.

Oh well from a Cowboys fan, I’m sure many will understand.
At some point somebody has to roll on, and the rest of course is what it is at the White House even after this president, much like our country.

Cowboys have nothing to do with this though. I actually raised the Eagles slightly from the sewer pit I usually view them in, but they quickly blew my faith in them. 
As it appears that this visiting the White House thing has become very political, maybe it would be wisest if the tradition stopped for all sports, much like the playing of the national anthem(s) has become political and should be stopped and should never have been a thing in the first place. That is unless the one party responsible for all this political nonsense and division starts to act human again.

I have to disagree. I think it would have been better had some team changed course during the Biden Administration back to tradition, but there was the pandemic interruption too and hey, here we are but we are moving on for at least that front with much more serious matters at hand.

I never pass up a good chance to throw some more 
on the rightfully mounting pile for former owner of the Commanders/Washington Football Team/Redskins, Dan Snyder.
There are few who are as low as he was an NFL owner and as a person who was generally unliked, including even amongst the locals for decades in the Washington DC area.
It was so bad that he even had shills placed all over the local homer bojack sports media, plus that wily and whiny Tony Kornheiser running “constructive criticism” for him at ESPN, and well that worked for that little Napoleon tyrant (expletive) until …John Riggins and YouTube and then all other social media that followed until he was finally gone via the efforts of the NFL owners after he managed to piss all them off too.
Here you go Danny boy, courtesy of the NFL Players’ Union:
Amidst other lows from the players’ union are these, but of course there are many more highs in the report cards too as cited.
Only the Steelers surprise me here, so there’s more for me to learn there, though there was the report recently of heavier dissent within due to a split between which quarterback to support, for which the correct answer would be neither, but nope, let’s just let those Steelers and their fans be the “wiser” again on that front.
- The Steelers, Jets, Browns, Patriots, and Cardinals took the bottom five spots. Pittsburgh, New England, and Arizona have all been bottom-feeders throughout the report cards’ three years in existence.
- Woody Johnson came in last among NFL owners after a disastrous season and reports of his teenage sons serving as key decision-makers. “They talked about the culture – it’s a problem, top down,” Tretter said of Jets players’ answers. “[They said,] ‘It’s a culture of fear here.’ And I think that stood out in those grades.”
- The Rams charge the players to use in-game daycare ($75 for the first child in the family and $50 for each additional one).

I’m surprised by how far the Eagles plummeted in what you would think would have been a good season for them. They are also only one of 3 teams that don’t offer a daycare at all.

In watching old Formula One replays recently, wow tobacco sponsorship on many of the cars and all over the place, look at that Marlboro sign in the back there with the Marlboro Man too.
Ah, those were more “innocent” times with fond memories,
and well the baseball infield on the field died with the Oakland Raiders a few years ago.

I can imagine some mixed reviews on this one. I’m not sure where else it should go, but feel free to cross-post:
https://3downnation.com/2025/02/25/nfl-canada-awards-youth-football-programs-75000-through-inaugural-program/
NFL Canada has made a $75,000 contribution to youth football as part of its inaugural NFL Forward Pass program.
The three recipients are the North Winnipeg Nomads Football Club (Winnipeg, Man.), Peel Panthers Football (Brampton, Ont.), and Howard S. Billings High School Football (Châteauguay, Que.). Each program will receive $25,000.
“In the first year of the NFL Forward Pass program we received over 500 nominations from football programs across the country,” said NFL Canada director of marketing and fan engagement Tara Chetkowski in a statement.
I know what the NFL is doing here, for after school after “winning” a drawing (I think the store manager knew us and just picked us), we went to a practice after school hosted by the Indianapolis Colts with some players.
It was awesome, especially as a kid.
