Per sources on yesterday’s owners-only virtual meeting, Dan Snyder addressed the Post story by @TheWillHobson and @lizclarketweet by not addressing it much more than in his public statement. It left a few owners and executives feeling underwhelmed.

Second run. Guice executes Duo perfectly, staying patient for an answer, and helping the process along by manipulating the 2nd level. The footwork & quickness are even more impressive when you see him finish with this kind of power. pic.twitter.com/ThSdgK2zOu

Jimmy Moreland showed some nice development as the season progressed last year. Liked this look, where he moves back to safety while Landon Collins aligns in the slot. Allows Collins to blitz/fit the run while Moreland can squat on the slot receiver with vision on QB pic.twitter.com/d0JXa1L7SV

Finally, Guice snatches Shaq Thompson’s soul, tossing him to the ground with a vicious stiff arm as if he were a 180lb CB. The run, an E-gap power, sets up Guice’s 1 yard TD to ice the game. pic.twitter.com/8tFzpAiosO

Penny. Better offense, better game script, and a time share with one back who has fumble issues.
— J Moyer (@JMoyerFB) December 6, 2019
FWIW, I think Guice is the better individual player

Example: if I ask a player/coach/FO member for their number it’s clear it’s just about work. Talked to some female reporters who worry about the other side misconstruing intentions. It’s a luxury to show up every day without certain worries/fears and only worrying about the job

Source on why the NFL didn't take over this investigation after previously taking over Jerry Richardson investigation: “That was an owner, only about an owner. It didn’t make sense for a team to investigate its own owner. This, by all accounts, is centered on an organization.”

I will get the fans of the #WashingtonRedwolves a trademark for Redwolves. The more I read about them I know this is the only choice. Do not make us a team with no name. https://t.co/Zp0Qk9jL1M
— Martin McCaulay (@MartinMcCaulay) July 18, 2020
They have not applied for trademarks for any possible replacement names which I don't get. I don't know why they would wait while others get their applications in first.
— Martin McCaulay (@MartinMcCaulay) July 18, 2020
None of the first 50 reporters I talked to asked if I could prove I offered to give the NFL the trademarks for free on July 4th, a week before the name change was announced, until my interview with ABC News yesterday. I sent them the email proof and now everybody believes me.

A CoViD false-negative rate study from Johns Hopkins pooled data from 7 studies & 1,300 test results. 1st day of infection, the false-negative result, was 100%.

The Rutgers Coronavirus saliva test got FDA approval in April. At-home saliva test version had FDA approval by May. There’s encouraging accuracy data out of UofCHI.

THREAD: What I've learned today from sources on NFL/NFLPA reopening negotiations:
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) July 17, 2020
-They're ongoing, expected to continue thru the weekend.
-Both sides believe, if the health/safety piece of the talks gets resolved, they can start camps and continue to discuss financial piece.
Players still want all preseason games eliminated, league continues to resist. Possible compromise involves going down to just one preseason game per team, but NFLPA doesn't want any. Thinks it raises infection risk unnecessarily (i.e, the games don't count).
— Dan Graziano (@DanGrazianoESPN) July 17, 2020
Players who test positive for COVID-19 would be placed on the Commissioner Exempt list, with no minimum or maximum stay. They would receive full pay, regardless of where and how they contract COVID-19.

With a $150,000 stipend available to players who opt out, undrafted rookies who face long odds to make the 53-man roster could be tempted to take the money and run https://t.co/U3fFLnbW7J
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) July 18, 2020
The NFL and NFLPA would like to have the all-important economics figured out before camp. But it’s not a necessity, so they can keep talking about the revenue shortfall while camp goes. They’ll resolve other money issues (risk stipends etc) sooner. https://t.co/yojAaf7JC8
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) July 18, 2020
As of now, only 20 players would be allowed in the facility at a time, until the NFLPA signs off on infectious disease emergency response plans for each club. If protocols aren't met, a grievance could follow. But clubs have the right to set reporting dates within CBA rules.

Its more than just the actual draft... combine, prodays, all star games, players potentially playing 28-29 games in a 9 month span
— Chris Turnage (@Agent_Turnage) July 18, 2020
Guess it depends on if the prospect wants to play at the next level or not.. Ask XFL and AAF alums if they would take on the extra workload to play in the NFL. Everyone sits at the Combine and professes their “love of the game” to scouts, right? Guess we’ll see.. https://t.co/Pj9I4WBUlD

That the Nationals and Phillies are playing the first bona fide exhibition game in big 4 US sports since the pandemic began, and it is not on TV, and it is not streaming, tells you everything you need to know about @MLB's acute lack of self-awareness.
