Looks like it was a quiet night officiating-wise. Anyone see what they thought was a particularly good officiating performance?

This is why you cannot draw a simple straight line conclusion from anecdotal evidence that use of Guardian caps reduces the incidence of concussions. It is more probable than not that it was these other practices adopted that were the cause of the relative freedom from concussions.

Two more scientific studies conclude that Guardian caps have no effect on concussion risk. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9980188/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5634228/

I can still remember my Commercial Transactions prof in law school saying “Fraud vitiates all.” In other words, if you can prove some type of fraud, you can often avoid otherwise insurmountable obstacles like a statute of limitations. As you might expect, proving fraud is very difficult.

No doubt.

Tests have shown that straight ahead speed in the 40 does not materially differ whether on short natural grass or artificial turf. However, change of direction speed is significantly faster on an artificial surface.

That may be true. But I think he’ll need an actual legal reason … and that ain’t one.

It’s a pretty fact-specific issue, and we certainly haven’t heard all the facts. But the lengthy delay in asserting his rights strikes me as a significant obstacle to any relief.

I think this an important point that is being overlooked. “Lying” is an intentional act. Under the circumstances it is certainly possible that Khaki Boy said something that wasn’t actually true, but which he believed to be true. That’s not “lying.” So, it is perfectly conceivable that he has good grounds for refusing to cop to “lying,” even though there is incontrovertible evidence that what he said was inaccurate.

As always, it’s a great day to be an Eagle!

Back by popular demand! 😂🤣 There will be a separate thread each week to address questions, observations, respectful and informed criticisms, and other officiating-connected issues. I’d like to specifically note that it’s OK if your contribution is simply observing that the officials are to be commended for a job well done. Videoclips are always welcome. We’ll try to provide explanations, discussions, critiques and, if someone screwed the pooch, we won’t shy away from it. The object is to inform and, perhaps, entertain as well. For Week One, I will be very interested to see how our officials adapt to the new penalty enforcement rules, and how consistently they officiate the new guidance on forcible contact against defenseless receivers.

What an interesting constitutional question! Can a person be elected President if convicted of an offense which was committed while he was President in a prior term, and which would have been an impeachable offense? I really hope we don’t have to find out.

Moot.

There’s a lot about it that was unacceptable, as the “internal” investigation clearly showed.

You obviously haven’t read it. Get back to me when you have.
