One of the essentially unlimited examples that keeping your mouth shut is always better than straight-up guessing about other people's injuries and illnesses
“if I'm Jalen Hurts − or anybody in Jalen Hurts' camp − I'm saying, 'Well if everybody's hurt, I'm hurt, too.' “To me, it looked like Jalen is kind of getting himself out of the fray so that this lost season..he's pulling himself out so that this doesn't look like it's on me."
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Jalen Hurts' ruled-out status stems from a superficial blood clot in his calf confirmed via team ultrasounds and detailed in the Eagles' official medical timeline with NFL involvement; no evidence supports strategic withdrawal claims.

I am going to say, I'm not ignoring the fact that Jalen himself has agency here, and made a reckless decision with his own health and safety to go out and play on the field. There's responsibility on his shoulders too.
But he was still failed by the Eagles as an organization.

Ok this part makes zero sense and now I do question why he played after seeing this part of the report. That much sleep deprivation can have a similar effect to being drunk in terms of awareness and neuromuscular control.
There’s nothing inherently dangerous about sleeping while having a superficial clot. Immobility (venous stasis) can cause clots to get worse, but that’s why you are often advised to just sleep with the leg elevated.
I’ve NEVER heard of someone being told to avoid sleep after a superficial blood clot diagnosis and the short term effect of that sleep deprivation is a terrible thing to play football with.
Jalen Hurts reportedly went roughly 36 hours without sleep after doctors diagnosed him with a superficial blood clot in London and advised him not to sleep as a precaution.
He still started against the Jaguars, throwing for 220 yards and a TD.

I'm not exaggerating, Jeffrey Lurie needs to hire an independent investigator to review the entire decision making process that led to Jalen Hurts not only playing that game in London, but then getting onto a transatlantic flight back.
He could have died, heads need to roll.

“Before the London game, Hurts was in the hospital until 4 am and did not sleep because sleep was a risk. He played without having slept.”
If this is true, you need to fire everyone involved in the decision to put Hurts on the field. Howie should even be grilled for this.

Quick request for anyone living in Ohio who dabbles in sports event contract trading.
Can you still access contracts for any of the following? Let me know!
Underdog, Gemini Titan, Coinbase, Prophet X, Novig, Robinhood, Polymarket, Plus500, Moomoo, or Webull?

Elton Brand's a great guy and had a great career but putting him on the cover in 2026 feels like a stretch.

People call Digger a “hate letter to cinema” but it’s just Iñárritu confronting the fact that being a director and saying he’s going to make a film to combat the climate crisis is functionally identical to a baker saying he’s going to bake a cake to combat the climate crisis.

I have my notifications muted so I didn’t even see this absolutely incredible “New York City landlords are actually eager to repair and maintain their units, but the renters won’t let them” rebuttal
