I played 14 years in the NFL & 9 years as an NFLPA voting rep. If we’re serious about real change for players, the choice feels obvious: JC Tretter. -Former NFLPA president. -Cornell labor relations degree. -Creator of the NFLPA report cards that have already led to $300M+ in improvements. Time for a former player to lead

Just in: The Board of Player Representatives has elected JC Tretter to lead the NFLPA as the union’s fifth executive director.

There is no anti-semitism on the left. None. And anti-semitism isn't a meaningful political problem in America. Just stop it.

This is probably a minority opinion but Isaiah Stewart shouldn’t get suspended at all. His teammate got punched in the face while being held back. Stewart did what he should have done.

At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time. When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame. For a catch: A) Secure control of the ball ✅ B) Two feet down in bounds ✅ C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so. C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule: If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds. Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.

Luka Garza is the stretch big no one knew existed before this season. He's now shooting exactly 50% from 3-point range this season.
