Some Seattle soccer fans have mixed feelings about patriotically backing the U.S. team during the FIFA Men's World Cup, given the actions of President Donald Trump. https://t.co/XooQ8rPjSQ
One factor behind #Patriots rookie DE Gabe Jacas’ absence is that he is not being given a standard “participation agreement” by the team, per @MikeReiss.
“Most draft picks receive such an agreement, which states that if they were to sustain an injury prior to signing their first NFL contract, the team would still be obligated to sign him to a contract based on the slot he was drafted.”
According to Reiss, along with Jacas’ hamstring injury during the predraft process, two sources from different NFL teams said their staffs passed Jacas on physical exams, though both flagged a labral tear in his shoulder that could “eventually require medical attention” — one of the sources also noted a stress fracture in his foot that could “worsen over time.”
“But a source familiar with Jacas' recovery said he underwent a knee procedure that was described as a ‘clean-up.’ It is not known whether something happened after Jacas' physical exam and subsequent recheck at the combine, or when the Patriots had him in for a predraft visit the week of April 20, and that information wasn't disclosed to the team.”
Messy, messy, messy…
𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: New footage has surfaced of Karl-Anthony Towns asking Knicks fans courtside to move closer to Dylan Harper as he tried to inbound the ball on the final play of the game.
Harper threw a bad pass and the Knicks won because of it.
This should be illegal.
