I eagerly await Ryan Leaf's next bit of hoopla as he attempts to keep his stop as biggest NFL bust

Leaf seems to have really pulled his life together actually.

That's nice last I heard he got fired from being a golf instructor for trying to bum pain pills of someone

I think it's been about four years since he last got arrested, and went through another rehab program that last I knew seemed to have stuck this time.

Bernie Kosar has been diagnosed with early stage Parkinson's and liver failure.

He's on the list for a replacement. But obviously this ain't great news.

Interesting article.

I just wonder where, exactly, the lie is in all this guy is saying.

That's why he was fined. . .

I keep wondering if there's something else going on, though, since the guy behind O'Keefe Media is the guy who started Project Veritas.

The biggest thing that creeped me out with that whole article was that the undercover reporter connected with the dude on Hinge then went on multiple dates with him and recorded them. That seems very not ethical to me.

My two big takeaways were that this is not just unethical, but also completely unfair.  There should be a law against reporting anything said while trying to get some.  Between this dude and Marion Berry, you can get caught up in these DC streets.  Second, this is up there with Gruden as far as offending as many possible groups as possible.  Gruden still has the record, but this guy has to be in the top 2.

New lawsuit against Deshawn Watson that is somehow (allegedly) even worse than the stuff he was accused of before.

Figured this fits better here than the weekly thread

Supposedly, the Browns reworked DeShaun's contract during the offseason and CAN void it if he gets suspended for old incidents.

His agent is a moron if he agreed to THAT. . .

I would be quite surprised if it's true but... 

[RIPPA]

The clause was only on the contract through the 2023 season. It wasn't "removed" it expired (for lack of a better word)

Jay Glazer reported it wrong (and corrected himself online)

So the story came out that Dan Campbell had to move because people found out where he lived and started harassing him and his family

Turns out he was doxxed by a male classmate of his high school daughter

Quote

Dan Campbell's home address was publicly leaked on social media by his daughter's classmate earlier this year, according to a report by The Detroit News, ultimately prompting the Detroit Lions coach to sell his home after multiple instances of harassment and unwanted visitors on the property.

The Detroit News reported Monday that, according to police reports obtained by the paper, multiple people showed up at the Campbells' residence in Bloomfield Township, Michigan, on the night of Jan. 28, hours after the Lions' loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.

According to the report, a Lions security official contacted Bloomfield Township police that night to report that Campbell's address had been posted online. An investigation conducted by police and NFL security revealed that a male high school classmate of Campbell's daughter posted the family's home address on Snapchat with the accompanying text of: "Dumb f--- trying to go for it."

Campbell and his wife, Holly, were still in the Bay Area at the time, according to the report, but became "nervous for the safety of their daughter" after vehicles and people showed up outside the residence. The Campbells' daughter was at the Bloomfield Township residence that night with her boyfriend, who "went outside in his vehicle and flashed his headlights at anyone approaching causing these people to turn off and leave," according to the report.

The Campbells eventually instructed their daughter to leave the home with her boyfriend, and the report stated that police patrolled the residence for the next several days.

According to the report, the daughter's classmate was identified on Jan. 29 and questioned by investigators. The classmate said he and his friends were "distraught" by the Lions' loss to the 49ers and that he "found humor" in the Snapchat post. The classmate and his friends later drove to the Campbells' residence, parked on the street and were "yelling not nice things toward the house" before leaving, according to the report.

A police investigator informed Holly Campbell that the incident did not meet the standard to file criminal charges against the classmate.

"Holly's only concern is that their address is out there now, and she fears next season people will know when her husband is out of town and try to take advantage of that," the investigator wrote, according to the report.

The Campbells moved to an unidentified new location earlier this year, according to The Detroit News, and have not received any further harassment. The 7,800-square-foot Bloomfield Township residence was listed last week for $4.5 million, and a deal was pending within 24 hours, according to Crain's Detroit Business.

The bolded part (by me) is infuriating

Brett Favre, who (allegedly) stole millions of dollars from the state of Mississippi, has announced he has Parkinson's.

That's what happens when you get your bell rung for a living for 20+ years.

Parkinson's is awful and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Favre revealed this tidbit while testifying with regard to $2m that he stole from Mississippi's welfare fund, gave to a "concussion drug company" whose founder then used the money to gamble.

Yeah. I'm certainly not happy he has it, it's terrible. But I feel less sympathy towards him than I would most people.

[hammerva]

Is it likely that Favre has Parkinson giving all the punishment he took absolutely.    But given how sleazy he is would it really surprise you if this isn't true or inflated at best?  Has he told anyone about this before he testified.

 

[BloodyChamp]

It wouldn’t surprise me if Favre has been taken advantage of, and those texts don’t necessarily mean otherwise. I knew somebody with Parkinsons, but the worst example of somebody in a similar state who got took went back years and years to when he first got dementia. There has clearly been something wrong with Favre for a long time. The other day was actually the best he’d sounded in a while.

Yup, checks out.

FYI, Mississippi doesn't have a reporter shield law, one of 10 such states.
