The @NFLPA just released their player team report cards for 2024 and the results are ... suboptimal for the Chiefs.
Head coach Andy Reid gets A+ but Chiefs rank dead last in training staff and ownership. Ownership gets an F- from the players. pic.twitter.com/2XyHkQfFru

In this hypothetical situation... they didn't move 4 hours away to St. Louis. They didn't move to Oakland to fill the void left by the Raiders. Clark didn't pack up the team overnight and move them to Salt Lake City.
Yeah that was a strange take. Essentially I won't be a fan of a team that moved ~30 miles away and instead I will be a fan of one that is a couple hundred away instead. [Reply]

“I was disappointed in the way the training staff of the Chiefs handled the situation,” Van Noy said. “When things like that hurt, especially something that could be serious like mine was, you’re supposed to rely on the team’s training staff or their doctors and I was supposed to see an ophthalmologist—which is somebody who checks out eye(s), performs eye surgery and they took an entire quarter to get down to talk to me in the locker room. Which, to me, is unacceptable. Because then you start thinking, ‘what if I was trying to go back in the game? What if I was really really hurt?’ I know mine was moderate but it still serious because it’s an eye [injury]. And your expectation of someone to be down there as the training staff asked them to be down there would have had a little more urgency. The way it took time was super unprofessional to me. Especially because there were people in there too. One of the doctors, or the friend of the doctor was in there double-cup fisted, styrofoam cups like everything was good and I just felt that was unprofessional.” [Reply]

Was he that concerned about player safety when he cheapshotted our guy while he played for the cheating patriots? Maybe we were just showing him the same courtesy that he showed our player. [Reply]

I admittedly know nothing about how this kind of shit works when you host an NFL game, but this reads to me a little bit like Kyle Van Noy is Consuela from Family Guy and he's asking for more Lemon Pledge.
"We need faster opthomologists."
"We don't do that here. You should bring your own opthomologists."
Just pulled off Google but this article says the NFL requires one at every game.
The NFL requires an ophthalmologist to be at every game. Most team ophthalmologists do not travel to away games, so one is expected to provide care, if needed, to the visiting team as well. Serious injury, such as an orbital fracture, can occur during a game. One needs to be prepared to quickly evaluate players to see if they can continue in the game or if playing could result in further injury. [Reply]
Sounds to me like there were two instead of the required one. What is his complaint a moderate what? The eyelash was uncomfortable a scratched eye? [Reply]
