and here I thought the propensity for abhorrent and detestable behavior by members of a certain NFL "team" had peaked...but no...the green slime of moral turpitude continues unabated...like an oozing river of green sludge...the government should just cordon off the Meadowlands and make the whole damn swamp a Level Five prison to house Jetdell and the pack of disgusting organized criminals and degenerates that is the New York Jets Football Club.

God, that's brilliant...and I'm serious.

Identifying player's injuries when they're playing puts them at higher risk to be targeted by other teams and puts a coach with key injured players at a strategic disadvantage.

Even your more benign interpretation of the rule acknowledges it exists to address gambling interests in the outcome of NFL games... my feeling is that Las Vegas and sports betting interests - including the mafia - make it clear that disclosure of injuries is essential to their ability to make income and set the gambling line accurately.

Oh, geez. I didn't realize you were one of those people who thinks Vegas is still mafia controlled and all sorts of foul play lurks beneath the surface. Let me know when you decide to join the 80's and I'll be happy to continue this conversation.

I really think you have this one backwards. The whole purpose of the injury list was to keep gambling interests out of the NFL.

Injury disclosure was first mandated in 1947, after a scandal in which players were suspected of taking payments from gamblers. The idea is that transparency about injuries eliminates a core piece of inside info that gambling interests would bribe players and staff to receive.

Think about it: disclosing a piece of info to the whole world doesn't "help" a gambler at all. What helps a gambler is knowing something the other bettors don't. That's what the injury list is designed to eliminate.

+1 and well said.
