Really ??  There were a couple of stories previously about Howie and conflict in the locker room.  One involving Zach Ertz, and this one.

Seems fake

1. The whole "get back out there" makes no sense when he failed concussion protocol tests. Players can't just get back out there. It's the whole reason there are independent doctors doing the tests, pulling players etc. 

2. Fining $1M per leak makes no sense.

The US elites and the institutions they control are becoming  more and more woke. It stems from social science and literary criticism departments in US universities. The consequence, as Andrew Sullivan says, is "We all live on campus now."

I fail to see how diluting science education corrects past noxious deeds. It is virtue signaling.

People can believe in mythology if they want. They have the right.

Mythology of any type should never be taught in a science class. It should certainly not be given equal status.

OK, you don't like the term, "woke."  What would you use? John McWhorter has repeatedly asked this question without receiving a proper response.

You chose the terminology.   But you singled out one country struggling with its obligation under treaty with the indigenous population as opposed to other countries.  

Religion has long run into conflict with science.  Paleontology, for example, and the creation theories of almost any religion.  (Interestingly, some religious contexts, including Greek, Roman, some Native American and Semitic, all contain a great flood, that is documented in the geologic records when the ice dam broke at the end of the last ice age in North America, so sometimes they overlap.)   As long as we have religions that will likely be true and we see it reflected every day, all over the world.  Is it better to have the religious, cultural basis taught without science contrasted next to it. Or do you object only when the religion isn’t filtered through European beliefs?

Study the writings and discussion that underlay the development of the writing of the Constitution, and you will find "elitism” based property ownership (the Larry David commercial is meant to be sarcastic but hits bitterly close to home.). Yet you don’t bemoan the laws restricting the teaching of "indoctrination " in history classes.  Do you object to not teaching of the "elitist” patriarchal underpinnings of our Country’s origin that treated women as second class citizens with limited property rights and even as chattel to be bartered from father to husband?  Do you object to an honest discussion of the compromises made as the Constitution was written to appease the slave states (misidentified as critical race theory)?  To not understand the impact of race, immigration basis, and gender in the shaping of our society isn’t "woke”, it’s history quite prevalent in the recorded record.

Let’s define the "elite”.   Is it the public school teacher?  The college professor?  Or is it the moneyed interests that by ownership and preserving what is theirs, decline to believe this science of carcinogenic exposures, feel all resources are there to be taken now, regardless of the impact on future generations, that believe climate change is an "inconvenient” science that needs to be laid aside because it is a financial hindrance?  Is it the carpet bagger (NJ) TV personality or the carpet bagger (NY) hedge fund guy that think they deserve to be senators because they can outspend all others.  Or maybe the rich kid rebel, who seems to think he can be a Kennedy (yeah, both major parties have elitists).  

You and I agree that political correctness or wokism goes to far sometimes.  When it stifles the ability to see multiple sides, absolutely.   So does the opposite side of the spectrum where some seek to prohibit or limit certain things from being taught because it doesn’t match with their beliefs.  Indoctrination  of a culture to a European basis is no better.  Just look at our own history in that part of the world with the Hawaiian islands.  Usurped their government for financial pursuits.  The "missionaries” and their children the direct benefactors of oppressive laws undermining the rights of the native population culminating with outlawing of teaching their language, religion and culture.  We took a similar approach with our own native peoples, from "missionaries” teaching the religions of our culture to the exclusion of theirs, through to the point of outlawing ghost dances and violence against, forced cultural change from a nomadic culture to a European farming one, to the "schools” their children were sent to where native dress, culture and language were not permitted (and a dirty little secret, native religion absolutely refused and an indoctrination in the religion of the school).  Sounds like New Zealand at least attempts to honor their treaties with the native peoples.

Yeah those were the two red flags that came up to me. Like given the situation at hand with his concussion, failing protocol and throwing up afterward he wasn’t going back out there even if he wanted too. Frankly Carson played with a broken back for weeks, threw a td on a torn acl so if he could’ve gone back out there he likely would’ve at least tried too. if he passed concussion protocol I’m guessing he would have tried to get back out there.

This particular story doesnt make much sense lol. Howie all of a sudden a guy ready to throw hands and yelling at someone's wife...

Hissy fit?  Nope... facts.

You religious beliefs conflict with mine.  Life begins at the first autonomous breath in my religion. So your beliefs trump mine. Got it.

Pretty sure Carson's wife could knock out Howie

It sounds like a whisper down the lane story. MAYBE Howie argued with a trainer about something while Carson was throwing up on the other side of the room. As the story passes from person to person they fill the gaps using what they already know to make the story more interesting, someone jokes around and makes seem Howie intimidating, and then that's the final form of the story.

Phrasing, man.

 

 

5'6 Howie Roseman physically threatening any NFL player is some visual.

Also, this.

Colts players, media, owners, coaches, etc. just keep ripping Wentz.

If Hurts is stinking up the joint midway through the season but the rest of the team is doing well enough to make the playoffs, is there any way the Eagles trade for Jimmy G as a rental? 
Have a roster ready to compete in playoffs so wondering if Howie will get aggressive. Obviously SF would have to take on a lot of his salary for it to work. There’s also Minshew there I guess.

Jimmy G is trash. 

I knew Wentz was soft but I never knew he was so soft that he couldn't fend off this freakin guy:

Yeah gonna go ahead and call BS on that story. 

Judging by this picture I'm not sure Howie even breaks 4 feet tall

It took me a second to figure out what Hawks game. This was the one with Clowney's dirty hit to Wentz head while was on the ground? I don't think medical staff would clear him if he was throwing up from the concussion. Also yelling at his wife seems a stretch. I can believe the part about Ertz though

@justrelax, https://theathletic.com/3311028/2022/05/24/vic-fangio-defense-analysis/

This new article is about Fangio, but also Cover-6. I will point out that the two best Fangio-style defenses had Aaron Donald and Akiem Hicks. You can't run this defense without awesome iDL.

What an enjoyable article.   It’s like D20 on coverages.  Note that Cover 1 photo from week 7.  That could easily be Belichek’s Cover on where the S that rolls into man and the one that drops can change on the read post snap.  That is why interchangeable Ss are desired.  
Interesting the use of Inverted Cover 2 (Coverage 8).  Don’t recall the Eagles running any of that last year.

Interesting  to see how they did the rankings with the tiers.  He needs to take that next step for him to be worth the investment.  If he only hovers around 30th best WR in the game then that's not good enough IMO.
