They are packing up equipment, this one is over

Saw this on TV.

It's the only REAL CLUE that tells us the game is over.

The fans in the stands are still waiting.

I don't get this whatsoever.

Just TELL THEM THE GAME IS OVER AND TO GO HOME!

It just annoys me that they're waiting there as if they expect the game to continue.

It makes them(the fans) look worse than they really are.

What did his tweet say? I’m thinking it might have been deleted.

Talking out of both sides of his mouth. Acknowledges the tragedy but then goes full on media and says that the game shouldn’t be cancelled because of the magnitude of the outcome. Extremely poor taste. 
 

I’ve seen worse tweets about tragedies but he should know better and is gonna have to do several rounds of apologies.

Damn. Booger Farland just went IN on the NFL. I didn't catch exactly what he said but basically insinuated they don't give a fug about the players and "that's just how they run their business".

what? he didnt say anything like that. He said that no player has ever been prepared for a situation like this. He went on about his injuries and his experiences and stated that he has never seen anything like this and cant imagine what the players are going through.

Oh man... you think its that simple? There is way more to it than that. Im not going to go deep into this one, bc id rather focus on the situation. However, Id highly recommend to you to think through the entirety of the situation with a little bit more understanding of the logisitcs that goes into this stuff. There are hundreds of people invovled in the communication and action that goes into this. 

100%

 

I seriously doubt the nfl has any sort of protocol on how to handle this type of situation.  I love to bash the nfl and goddell but after working for many big corporations there is no magical swipe of the wand to handle this type of stuff.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
