I'm confused. You keep lumping the corporate communications arm of the NFL (NFL Media) in with the professional media for lack of a better word. It's entirely plausible that 40 people who work for the NFL would never have delved into the quote. The confusion... are you suggesting the second reporter never relayed the quote during the Zoom meeting? Trotter made the whole thing up? Did he also make up the part about his boss saying the issue was being dealt with in HR New York? Would it ever get to HR without someone confirming the second reporter's statement? Maybe by asking two or three or 19 of those in the meeting if it was said?

Good point. If true, then what?

Clarification is needed. These were employees of the NFL. NFL Media. They were not media members in the traditional sense. Brian Duff for example is not a media member. I think you want to give the impression that someone among 40 "journalists" would have reported it, and the fact they didn't is evidence the quote was not mentioned. But they were not journalists. It's hardly shocking that NFL employees wouldn't touch that quote. You'd think that among the 40 people said to have heard what Trotter alleges, at least a few would come out and say, "That never happened."

@That Aud Smell put the coffee on. I'm interested in your opinion of Terry's statement.

How is the last item a fact?

TBN has some additional context: "cringeworthy" statements Terry made about how the league needed an African-American to lead its PR campaign on social issues, not a white owner. Another one I recall is this: "I'm a little confused," Terry said next. "I'm sitting on the stage between Mayor [Byron] Brown and Ted Black, yet I look over there, and I'm wondering, is something backwards here?" Terry's more than capable of wandering into this minefield.

The Ghost of Joe Ferguson after one of those picks.

Keep thinking about the Room 40 joke. He is what he is.

It's OK on the road. Take the crowd out of the game and just try to come home .500 for the trip.

Today, We Are All Possums.

It's been done.

The *****.

It's been a nothing to see here kind of offseason.

Lindy also wasn't ain't goin' nowhere. Had to Google it.

Yeah hopefully not the squirrely new guy who plays that Closing Time song when the opponent scores an ENG.

Can I just enjoy my moment in the sun? Put me in, cold!

Doesn't look a bit like VO.

Colossal fail. Doubt you'll admit it.

You have to admit this thread deserved all the snark it got.

This now has the ring of truth.

Per The Athletic: "We started conversations early in the offseason with (both Dahlin and Power) and continued all through the summer. We continue to talk now and they’ve been really positive. So it’s something that we’re still going to work on here over the next couple of weeks.”

Cousins is between Pysysyk and Mittlestat.

Almost looks like Tuch. I don't recognize the rest. A lot of guys look like Tuch, so until further notice I call BS.

He looks like Eleven that time he saw someone heat up Beefaroni in the office microwave.

Fair I suppose. I think I'd rather focus on the present than the future. Probably in a minority here, given the exalted status of prospects and #2027. Might explain how few posters participate in game chat.
