Are they the only team other than the patriots to allow fans so far?

[Krandor]

Afaik the Texas and Florida teams are planning to let fans in, they just haven't officially announced anything yet.

The NFL has declined an option to reinstate its full-time officiating program for 2020, the final decision in a series of previously unreported twists during the past four months, according to multiple sources.

As a result, officials will continue to work as part-time employees, a setback for many league decision-makers who view the program as a path toward better and more consistent officiating.

The league operated a full-time program for officials in 2017 and 2018 but shelved it for the 2019 season while negotiating a new collective bargaining agreement with the NFL Referees Association. The new deal, signed last fall, provided for the program to continue if the participants received salaries that were roughly commensurate with full-time officials in other sports leagues.

Reminder we’re getting old and that the Fail Mary is already eight years old.

quad injury clause in a contract is the weirdest damned thing

quad injury clause in a contract is the weirdest damned thing

Yanked from a reddit post

> Player has been informed by the Club Physician that Player has pre-existing medical condition(s) with the following body part(s): RIGHT KNEE CHRONIC QUAD TENDINITIS AND RELATED STRUCTURES

> Player expressly acknowledges that the medical condition(s) set forth above existed prior to the date of execution of this NFL Player Contract

So the Boys doc found it and had them put the waiver clause in there

Drew Pearson was named the sole senior finalist for the 2021 inductee HoF class, which means the only way he can't get in is if the voters decide to let no senior players in.

The dude has been heartbroken over not being in forever so it'll be good when he finally gets the nod.

This is a hall of famer?

c'mon

led the league in receiving yards one year

that's it

never had a double-digit TD season, only 48 total, only cracked 1000 receiving yards in two seasons, 3 pro bowls in his career

lol the only year he led the league in receiving yards was the year where the leader had the lowest receiving yards (870) in a season since 1957. Every year since 1959 had a 1000 yard receiver except 1977 when this guy did it with 870.

[Krandor]

He played for the Boys, that makes his stats worth at least 2 or 3 times more.

[archibaldcrane]

oh rite

[Rhyis.]

he's literally the only first team all-decade non-special teams player from the superbowl era no longer eligible to be in the hall of fame as a normal candidate.

i mean harold carmichael from the same decade averaged less yards per game than pearson did and he's in. paul warfield only had one 1000 yard season in his entire career and he's in. you cant compare stats from the 70s to anything from the 80s+. shit aint the same

carmichael scored 79 touchdowns sir

when he retired he was like 6th in all time receiving tds, most of the dudes above him came later

edit: 7th, and was 5th all time in receptions when he retired
