Adams was a dick for pushing the guy like that but come on the players should 100% have the right of way here. That’s ground level not up in the stands. Yes there’s a human decency aspect that Adams completely disregarded but that guy should be aware of his surroundings.

Then on top of that he went to the police station? That’s some bs lawyer tactics and it’s just the further crumbling on men. Men can show vulnerabilities and not have to hold everything in like generations ago but can we not full on turn into f’ing crybabies?

Dust yourself off and put on your big boy pants.

I agree. This seems petty as hell and a money grab to me.

C’mon….Adams was 100% out of line here.

They work in an entertainment business with lots of moving parts and lots of background employees (wearing orange or yellow vests). Is this Adams’ first game? Is this the first time in his whole career he’s seen supplementary personnel walking around the sidelines.

Taking the position that any employee on the sidelines has to basically expect to be physically assaulted from time to time is stupid….and it would be an awful precedent to set.

Adams was being an asshole…he didn’t have to shove the guy.

I wonder what it could be...

Report: Daniel Snyder believes he’s protected by dirt he has on other owners and Roger Goodell

As the Washington Commanders prepare to enter the national spotlight tonight on Amazon, a new report from ESPN puts the team’s owner in the crosshairs. Again.

ESPN.com has published a lengthy and detailed article about Daniel Snyder. It surely was carefully vetted by lawyers and calculated to be published today, as the Commanders prepare to visit the Bears on Thursday Night Football. The story also will resonate into next week, when the league’s owners gather in New York for a quarterly meeting.

Often in #longreads, finding the best stuff requires the patience of Job and/or an electron microscope. In this one, the most telling information, in my assessment, comes at the very top of the article.

“Cradling a drink in one hand,” the article explains, “[Snyder] tells members of his inner circle about the dirt he has accumulated on fellow owners, coaches, executives, even his own employees — all the stuff he’s learned from other sources, including private investigative firms. He never says exactly what he knows, only that in his 23 years as owner of the Washington Commanders, he knows a lot. And that in the zero-sum world of billionaires, this is how you survive. Snyder recently told a close associate that he has gathered enough secrets to “blow up” several NFL owners, the league office and even commissioner Roger Goodell. . . . ‘They can’t fuck with me,’ he has said privately.”

That meshed with something I’ve said and written on multiple occasions. They are afraid of Snyder. They’re afraid of what he knows, and of what he will do with that knowledge. Some believe that Snyder, one of the few people in possession of the notorious Jon Gruden emails, leaked those items to the media. If that’s true, Snyder quite possibly intended it to be a warning to anyone else who would try, in his words, to fuck with him.

The report comes at a time when a Congressional probe apparently is moving toward its conclusion, and when the NFL has commissioned another investigation of Snyder. The letter his lawyer sent last week to the House Oversight Committee shows that Snyder is girding for a fight. If he will indeed fight dirty, that’s reason for the league to press pause before trying to gather the 24 votes needed to activate the eject button.

Wonder what he has on Martha ha ha

Yes I know she is not technically the owner at this time

He was just sitting out there. But, we LOVE our guys...


Landon Collins: I wanted to stay with Giants but Dave Gettleman didn’t want me here

Veteran safety Landon Collins signed for his second stint with the Giants last week, and if it were up to him he never would have left.

Collins was drafted by the Giants in 2015 and played four years for them, making the Pro Bowl three times. He said he dreamed of playing his whole career for the Giants, but when he hit free agency in 2019, former Giants General Manager Dave Gettleman didn’t try to re-sign him.

“I want fans to understand that. It wasn’t the Giants. It was Dave Gettleman,” Collins said, via the New York Daily News. “It sucked. I wanted to stay but Gettleman didn’t want me here. So I had to take my chances somewhere else.”

In fairness to Gettleman, letting Collins walk looked like a smart move when Collins failed to live up to expectations after signing a six-year, $84 million contract in Washington. The Commanders cut Collins this offseason after three seasons.

Collins admits he didn’t do much in Washington but says he’ll prove with the Giants “that I still got it.”

“I’ve been injury prone for the past, what, two years, three years?” Collins said. “So that’s my biggest downfall right now. But other than that I’m still a playmaker, I’m still a baller, and I love this game. It’s definitely humbling coming from when you’re the top [guy] and now you’re back to ground one.”

The 28-year-old Collins hopes he never leaves the Giants again.

“Coming back, most likely hoping to retire as a Giant,” Collins said, “is a dream come true.”

Wonder what he has on Martha ha ha

That she is as old as dirt?

[Fraquar]

I think Tua's career is in a tenuous place.

if he has another concussion this year he might need to cut his losses.

If he has another concussion this year - he might be lucky to be coherent enough to understand what you just said - next year......

Definitely. I’m not saying Adams was cool for doing this. He’s a dick for pulling that move but the guy went to the police station and filled a report?

No friggin way. If he was hurt or injured the Raiders or the stadium would have fully taken care of him. This guy is wanting a cash grab. It’s even worst than what Adams did IMO.

Ambulance chasing lawyers are a major issue in US.

And honestly. Dude saw him pissed after the game and jumped right in front of him. Dude had his camera to the side to protect too. Az hole saw an opportunity for a big pay day and took it. Raider fans are pissed. IDK of a worse fan group to have mad at you.

If I was at my place of business and a guy from the mail room got in my way, if I shoved the guy to the ground…..our HR dept would have almost insisted the guy file a police report.

I’d be willing to be money, that a cop saw the footage and requested the report. As public as the incident was….a police investigation would have been initiated by the police anyway. It didn’t happen between the lines and is wasn’t fog-of-war shit that made it’s way to the sidelines….what happened, by the law, is referred to as “simple battery” and is a misdemeanor.

[Mainevent]

Random thoughts on this - It was a dick move by Adams for sure. The apology I read seemed less than sincere (haven't seen video). I have no idea if this guy is truly injured or not. Trying to compare a football environment to other places of business is just silly.

Tort law exists to deter and change society in ways criminal law enforcement cannot. Watching endless Sam Bernstein and Geoffrey Figer commercials is very annoying but they have a positive effect. Organizations have an incentive to clean up their act if the penalty for not doing so is a huge settlement against them.

So what if it is a cash grab? Idiot Adams deserves what he gets.

Cameramen are right up on players all the time, especially at the end of the game and you don't see them getting assaulted. Adams was pissed about losing the game and took it out on an easy target. He's a bully and gets whatever punishments are coming his way.
