The “Never Forget” pledge is a bit of a catch-all. But the life of the “never” stage depends on how long it takes to forget to remember. It can take decades, years, months and weeks to fade away.
In sports, however, it takes minutes – until the next play, punt or power play.
Last weekend there was a lot of national attention focused on Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa after he left Thursday’s game with his third concussion of his career. Calls for him to retire lest he develop lifelong neurological problems – if it’s not too late – were shouted from the mountaintops and echoed in the valleys.
Say it with me: “This puts everything into perspective!” Yes, of course.
Sunday, during the Jets and Giants games, there were less than six head-hits – only one marked – to the silence of CBS and Fox announcers and studio commentators.
But what else is new? I don’t want to offend Roger Goodell, whose concern for the mental and physical health and well-being of NFL players can be found in his persistent advocacy of playing regular-season games for more money. TV with friends, who play a bad game.
So, what we missed – we couldn’t miss without thinking about Tagovailoa’s suffering, three days before – was, well, ignored. Next!
Boston University’s Center for Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE) continues to report suicides among NHL players who become disabled after taking league-sanctioned shots, however during this period ago the local media and fans accepted one trick of Rangers Matt Rempe. like their BFFN – best friend, for now.
At the same time Rempe was being accepted and celebrated as a pug, former Ranger Chris Simon, indulged his desire to take and hit his head, killing himself at the age of 52. his last act, as he could not live. with brain damage, CTE.
So never forget! Just don’t bring it up if you happen to remember it.
TV voices avoid talking about anything
The senseless frenzy from the NFL’s affiliate pay TV partners continues. Without the mute button, there is no escape.
From the CBS studio, Nate Burleson reported that the misanthrope Tyreek Hill had a “pre-game incident” and returned to providing empty filler. Here’s a show that’s easily overlooked because of the empty content, but when it had a real story to report – Jaguars-Dolphins was a CBS game, so its crew was there – we found the zip.
On Sunday, Fox’s Mark Schlereth talked a lot but also missed the long-term absence of Giants 2022 shortstop Kayvon “The Snow Angel” Thibodeaux — not every defensive player anymore, usually. on the bench, as if he couldn’t. t play because he was wearing his school clothes.
At the end of that telecast, Fox’s Chris Myers told us that the Giants lost despite a “day of work” from WR Malik Nabers, who was playing the second game of his NFL career.
In college football, you have to defend yourself against a false statement, at least as bad as that.
With 4:05 left in the first quarter, Kansas up 14-6, on ESPN, play-by-play announcer Anish Shroff declared, “It was a low-possession game.”
Did he think we weren’t watching him? Or did he not know what he was watching? The game included four drives to mark the clock – two for touchdowns, two for field goals. It was a long game.
Hey Roger Goodell, you fraudster, what do you want me to do with all these emails – at least 150 of them – suggesting that P. Diddy deserves what you’ve allowed to become family entertainment? Super Bowl halftime?
You want me to post them together or add them to the “It’s All About Our Fans” and “NFL gambling is bad for society” evidence?
And, hey, Rob “Children Are Our Most Important Thing” Manfred and Steve Cohen, want to buy discounted tickets – no added fees! — until Sunday night on Mets Fan Appreciation/Depreciation Day, the home finals moved from 1pm to late night for ESPN dough?
As of Thursday, I had heard from seven readers, all parents, waiting to buy about 60 tickets for Sunday’s game. When they are at school and at work the next day, they are useless.
Saints RB Alvin Kamara scored three touchdowns against the Cowboys on Sunday. Thanks Alvin! Made all the important points.
However, some observers may wonder if Kamara, after a brief suspension in 2023 for a fine and appeal after seeking to kill an innocent person, is still allowed to make millions in Goodell “Stop the Hate” NFL.
Vols fans must pay ‘talent fee’
The University of Tennessee will now add a 10 percent “talent fee” to the price of football tickets to bribe good players to attend — practice, not college.
Well, now UT fans can join the rich yahoos to help recruit players!
Add that to two must-buy, pay-to-kill games — this season at a combined 140-3 at Chattanooga and then at Kent State — as never before have season ticket buyers been required serve the Volunteers as volunteers.
You’re surprised, kind of, that the Mets TV crew continues to indulge in the absurd, mean-spirited, childish and destructive Mets “recent tradition” of ripping off teammates’ jerseys. the ones who produce game-ending at-bats? Does the same apply after the game scores by mistake?
Why the Mets seem to find ways to accept horrible game shows and late game makes me grimace.
And SNY’s behavior in showing jerks, many of which seem to have been destroyed, in the seats can be replaced with important ones, such as shots to accompany the field.
While we’re at it, after SNY footage and Gary Cohen saying the last pitch was a “96 mph sinker,” maybe Ron Darling can explain how someone throws the ball of 96 mph breaking grass.
Life is not fair. I have known Ed Cohen since he was 16 years old and he worked hard to become a sportsman who is passionate about action and advice. After his time in the minors, he found his way into becoming a radio announcer for the Knicks.
This past season, more than six years in the park, his vocal cords began to fail him. At 41, married with two children and formerly a large set of pipes, he is done – at least for now, as he continues to search for a cure.
Based on what was seen Sunday night on NBC, Texans QB CJ Stroud is exceptional. He made threading the needle aside for a short time look easy.
Also notable is that Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth let the game breathe.
Collinsworth, who was usually willing to tell us that he could see what was coming after it arrived, brought back his good old days by highlighting the appropriate blocks in the details. difficult ones. Very nice and practical display.
I continue to be amazed by the cast of TV and advertising heroes.
Bill Belichick, a wretched villain as the coach of the Patriots, has joined Deion Sanders, a proven con artist and braggadocio who excels in the name of God, in being promoted and developed as America’s favorite players.
