Also, it looks like this is the first year the Thursday night game is only on Amazon prime, they had a QR code displayed on NFL Network last night. I assume a game with your local team will still be broadcast over the air. Must suck for sports bars. ---

I think they can handle it. That’s a big no-no for bars. If they get caught for something like that, i.e, they can be subject to a LOT more than $139 in damages. ---

This Tua thing is just what’s needed to get the concussion controversy front and center in the discussions again. Maybe some real change will happen. ---

> [@Great\_Antibob](#): > > They’ll be fine - DirecTV signed a deal with Amazon so their commercial customers can stream Thursday night games. Having to set up the infrastructure is the part that sucks. I’m guessing most bars are using cable or satellite. Certainly the older ones whose TV setups predate streaming. I haven’t been to bars in forever. Do they normally offer Wi-Fi? Like little hole in the wall dive bars? I’m thinking they’re going to find this to be a tremendous headache if they were already doing Thursday night games on NFL Network via cable or satellite. ---

If they have a business contract with DirecTV, it comes on one of the channels. No Wi-Fi necessary ---

I wouldn’t call brain damage, especially with the possibility of CTE, a “minimal issue”. ---

I’m not downplaying his injury last Sunday, because he clearly bounced the back of his head off the turf. But…did the guy not learn how to fall? I mean, it wasn’t a ferocious hit. The defender _shoved_ him in the chest, when he was already moving slightly backwards (recoil from his throw). He took a couple of steps backwards, lost his balance, and fell on his ass. Then his upper body kept going and the back of his head finally slammed down, absorbing the last of the shock. It _was_ a late hit (was the guy penalized?), but nowhere near the viciousness of the ragdoll-whip-around-into-the-ground last night against Cincinnati. I’m just wondering if there isn’t/wasn’t more going on with the guy (injury-wise) than we really know. They kept talking about his back already being hurt (even Tagovailoa said so) prior to his Sunday fall, so it seems like maybe it wouldn’t have taken a huge dinger in the head/neck area to make him wobble like he did after getting up. I hope the guy recovers fully of course. Just seemed like a mild hit on Sunday that touched off more than it first appeared it (to me, anyway) would. ---

Quote of the week, from Miami head coach Mike McDaniel: “That’s why the NFL has these protocols…It starts with your medical staff, but there’s independent specialists that look into it, too. There’s an independent specialist that specializes in the specialty of brain matter.” That’s pretty special. ---
