Well naturally the NIH hired the top CTE experts in the world including the Boston University team that discovered CTE.
NFL tried to pressure NIH to remove the Boston University team so the donation was pulled. The funding had to come from US tax payers, so we had to pay the bill. Stay classy NFL.
Since us fans are so hard up for NFL football nobody cares and the NFL has no price to pay for pulling this shit. They could practically commit murder and nobody would really care as long as we get our NFL football in the fall.
I don't doubt you but do you have a link I would like to read more about this .

Looks like both Apple and Shephard had to leave the Giants game with injuries.

RG III went 4-8 for 69 yards (49 of those on the first play of the game) 1 fumble (though it was recovered by the Browns) and a pick at the goalline. Looks like he's in mid season form already

Carson Wentz hairline fracture in his ribs, out for at least the rest of the preseason.

Apple was at the top of my board for our most recent draft.
My point?
I dont have one....

That hit that cause it was pretty brutal. It was a corner blitz and he saw the guy coming. He opened himself up with his super-long, wind-up delivery trying to get rid of the ball...not a real smart play.
I said it before and I'll say it again...I have no clue how this guy was drafted #2. He played no one in college.

I'm just waiting for the confirmation. We've seen the reports but no confirmation of sorts has been made yet. Once that happens I'll be happy.
NFLPA: Lane Johnson made “factually inaccurate” statement on tainted supplement | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/08/13/nflpa-lane-johnson-made-factually-inaccurate-statement-on-tainted-supplement/)
Looks like the trump campaign is running the lane Johnson clown show.

Yeah I taped it so I could see what he looked like and it wasnt pretty.He played 2 series.The stuff he completed was easy stuff that he would do with the skins.The fumble was his fault and the interception was a bad pass,and on 1 play I thought he should have been called for grounding.Plus just about everytime he dropped back he took hard hits,but they werent from holding onto the ball too long.He keeps taking hits like that he's not going to last long.I dont think it will be that long anyway before Mccown takes over.
Plus he had this big bun of hair hanging out the back of his helmet,I havent seen him with his helmet off in a long time so I'm interested to see what this hairstyle is he's sporting now.
I wish him no ill will,I hope he plays well for the Browns but I just dont see it.I'm so glad the distraction is gone.Even if there was no drama surrounding him i would much rather have Mccoy as the backup then Griff.

Just watched it. I feel sorry for him.
He is going to get killed this year. Was on the ground at least 5 or 6 plays in 2 drives that didn't have many plays.
