OT: Official 2021 Tompa Bay Gronkaneers Thread

How is the Jets thread allowed to be in the main forum, but not the Greatest player in NFL and Patriots history? Doesn't make sense to me

Godawful moderation decisions

The Buccaneers saw a player go down with an apparent injury during Wednesday’s minicamp practice.


Mark Cook of PewterReport.com reports that safety Curtis Riley went down while defending a pass to tight end Rob Gronkowski during a drill. He got tangled with Gronkowski and linebacker Kevin Minter and a cart was summoned to help Riley off the field to be examined for a lower body injury.

In addition to the he's washed up mantra, I distinctly remember the “Brady changed“ crowd on here. His priority was no longer about winning or being a good teammate. He sold out, wants to move to Hollywood, have full personnel control to build a disastrous fantasy team with only big named wide receivers, and he'll break the bank and eat all the salary cap. Buyer beware: Tom's ego is impossible to handle.

Oh, yeah. There were all sorts of lame justifications being tossed out, and some were being fed by the media (which you can be sure was being fed by the team).

No mention of the violation here. Brees played with a torn rotator cuff and torn fascia in his foot...but that doesn't get you clicks because he's a loveable loser to that big, bad cheater.

Drew Brees' wife says he played the entire year with shoulder, foot injuries

Note: every team in the league would likely be liable for injury reporting fines if the basis for injury seriousness is offseason surgery. Many players get cleanup procedures for chronic injuries/conditions which never landed them on the report.

FYI, just linked the injury report manual; I don't think it was updated since 2017. I really don't think the Bucs had an obligation to report the Brady inury because it happened in the offseason, didn't affect his practice availability, and never put his game status in doubt. These are always open to interpretation and known for inconsistencies, and this one would seem to be very, very far into the safety zone of where you don't have to report. You'd have to list someone like Gronkowski on there every week of his career due to a back injury; a guy with an arthritic shoulder would never come off the list. That obviously isn't the way it works. This is about acute injuries with direct impact on game status, and even those get a lot of leeway.

It seems the fines have come down in the past for teams whose players weren't available for a game unexpectedly and not when players are hiding injuries but still playing. If you Google "NFL injury reporting" you'll see that theme for which teams get fined and which don't.
