The NFL world is understandably dumbfounded by Baltimore's misusage of Derrick Henry last night:
Rodney Harrison: "That's the one guy the Patriots did not want to tackle. ... I absolutely, at times, hate the Ravens' offensive strategy. ... What are you saving him for? You saving him for next year?"
Tony Dungy: "If Steph Curry just hit six three-pointers in a row, you don't take him out and say 'oh, this is your time to rest now.' No. ... You've got a lead. You've got to protect the lead. ... It just did not make any sense to me."
2⃣2⃣'s last touch came at the 12:50 mark, when he punched one in to put his team up by two scores.

The NFL continues to use replay to correct some calls but not to correct obvious missed calls. This creates a credibility problem. When replay is used to move the spot of a ball 6 inches or used to see if the QB’s knee touched the ground— but can’t be used to see if he was tripped or can’t be used to see if the clock is at :00 when players are pointing to the clock it creates issues.
We either need to correct ALL OBVIOUS missed calls or we need to let the officials call the games on the field and live with it
🚨🚨🚨THREAD… 🧵🧵🧵
TONIGHT WAS ONE OF THE WORST OFFICATED AND MOST ONE-SIDED GAMES WE HAVE EVER SEEN.
EVERY CALL WENT THE #BRONCOS WAY.
#Commanders had multiple phantom penalties thrown on them.
The game was stolen from Washington — Egregious calls
🚨🚨THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED🚨🚨
THE REFS JUST MADE UP AN INTENTIONAL GROUNDING PENALTY ON THE #COMMANDERS.
THE RULES ANALYST ON THE BROADCAST SAID THIS IS NOT PENALTY.
IT FEELS LIKE THE REFS WANT DENVER TO BEAT WASHINGTON.
WHAT THE HELL.
🚨🚨REFS STRIKE AGAIN🚨🚨
THE REFS JUST CALLED A PHANTOM FALSE-START PENALTY ON #COMMANDERS WR TERRY MCLAURIN.
Terry was clearly set, was right in front of the ref and did not jump early.
The broadcast disagreed with the refs.
Unbelievable.
Truth without compassion can wound. Compassion without truth can mislead. Only together can they heal.
My philosophy as a surgical oncologist is simple: truth and compassion must always walk together.
Cancer does not negotiate with feelings… biology is biology, and my patients deserve the truth about their disease, their risks, and their options. But truth delivered without compassion is cruelty, just as compassion without truth is dishonesty.
In my practice, I strive to hold both at once: to give patients the clarity they need to make informed decisions, while surrounding that clarity with humanity, respect, and hope.
Surgery may be technical, but healing is relational. My role is not only to remove a tumor, but to walk beside a person… to ensure they feel seen, heard, and supported as they face one of life’s greatest challenges.
This tension reflects a broader truth: Every enduring conflict in human history is, at its core, a breakdown in balancing truth and compassion.
Society functions best when compassion and truth are integrated, not polarized. Whenever we split them apart … compassion without truth, or truth without compassion… conflict follows.
