NFL demands retraction of Times article on player concussions

[RecoveringCowboy]

Florio seriously doubts the NFL will sue > NFL most likely won’t sue the New York Times

Goodell has not testified in court often, but when he does it's not very good. Imagine the testamony of Jones and Irsay.

 

[Mack Herron]

NYT responds. Nope.

The league's research was deeply flawed and incomplete.

It's hilarious that these guys are supposed to be " the smartest guys in the room" and yet they literally say and do the dumbest things imaginable.

LOVE the ending....oh snap!

That whole letter was a glorious smackdown.

This. Letter. Is. AMAZING.

Reading it makes me feel like I did Butler made his interception....except for the screaming like a 5 -year old and jumping up and almost hitting my head on the ceiling...well, nevertheless, you get the point.

What an awesome reply by the NY Times

Ok NYJFL, its your move

 

[Wheelman]

Woooohooooooo! Damn that felt great to read! A branch of the media calling the NYFL* out on all the ******** coming out of their mouths! Damn! I feel great!

The NFL needs to come off their high horse and this letter is a good start. Nice job NY Times!

The NFL just got taken down hard and I love it. Get out of here, amateurs.

There's a lot of huge egos in the front office at 345 Park Ave. My intuition says Pash is behind a lot of this stuff and until he goes we're going to get more of the same.

Basically Ted Wells' law firm has argued:

"The tobacco industry is a bunch of scumbags. We should know; we represented them."

 

[RecoveringCowboy]

NFL should start by controlling themselves before they threaten the NYT.

Didn't Goodell or someone else on Park Ave contact all the owners and get on the same page on CTE? Either they didn't or owners DON'T CARE - although they should, since this is an existential issue.

 

[PatsFanSince74]

It's not nice to mess with the Gray Lady.

Now if only there were a way to get this appended to the Amicus Brief regarding the falsehoods presented by Clement during the Appeal as evidence of how the NFL plays fast and loose with the truth...

 

[Froob]

How'd the tobacco industry get roped into this?
