    As a human, I'm hoping that they have counselors available to help players process. 
    As a fan, I'm fearful that this impacts players beyond this game and this season.  I go back to Tre White talking about how his injury gave him a chance for the first time to see that he's more than a football player, and that there's more to life than the game he's played since he was a kid.  I can see an event like this triggering someone, that already has thoughts about the greater meaning, to walk away early.

    Just saw a really good point  - if they announce immediately that the game is postponed, the emergency vehicles now have to deal with prohibitive traffic when seconds count.

    0% chance this factored into the decision.  They wouldn't make that call until after the ambulance had left.  They would have a good head start on stadium traffic and likely a police escort.

    Welcome to the new America guilty until proven innocent ! We've been watching this for the better part of 3 plus years everyday in the media !

     

    He should be maybe taken off the job until a investigation into why this happened is done & there can be a determination to exactly why it happened then proceed if any discipline needs doing .

     

    But by the looks of it it could have been handled a bit more civilized but there could have been some extenuating circumstances but 4 on 1 COME ON MAN . 

    1) Vigilante justice is not legal in the US, whether morally justified or not
    2) He has been suspended by the NFL network while they review the matter

  4. I can remember pelting the broncos bus with snowballs in 2005 and the police escort as well....oh to be young, drunk and invincible. 

     

    I agree that it's not part of the game, and have no issue with security picking out the 100's of violators and kicking them out.  That said, to expect that it won't happen or to penalize a team is foolish.  If the league has an issue with safety, the course should be to stop play and/or pull players from the field.  After that the, crowd will enforce itself.

    There goes that highest paid nfl guaranteed contract Lamar wanted.  What a greedy idiot

    I don't think he was greedy - I think he just exposed himself to more risk than he should have.  These players have one shot at it.

    Was Aaron Judge greedy to turn down the Yankees last season?  He turned down 7 years for $213.5 million - had a season for the ages and was rewarded with 9 years for $360 million. 

  6. I think Shakir is that guy, and hopefully his role will start to pick up similar to what we've seen from Cook.   McKenzie seems like a great guy, but I have little trust in him at this point.
