I love those uniforms

But who's going to be the first chucker to make the cheap joke about how they're going to be playing like it's 1992 too?

Love the throwback unis and logo. When was the last time they did this, 07/08?

More recent than that. Maybe 2011 or 2012. The only reason they stopped was because the NFL put in a rule where you can only have one set of helmets all year due to concussion safety or some such, so teams whose throwbacks were different colored helmets were blocked from using them. They just loosened that rule recently.

I remember that.

Jimmy landed on his left shoulder in week 2 against the Dolphins and missed 2 1/2 games. Brissett led them to a win in week 3 against Houston but tore his thumb, then week 4 Jimmy wasn't ready to play but Brissett suited up and they basically ran a pop warner option offense because he literally could not throw and they lost. Lots of people were questioning Jimmy's toughness and integrity then. Brady came off of suspension in week 5 against Cleveland.

Well deserved too. He'd practiced all week and then bagged out on game day leaving Jacoby Brissett to play with a torn ligament in his thumb on his throwing hand. I remember there were grumblings out of Foxboro how mad everyone was including the coaching staff, and rightly so. Brady played through that same injury twice without even mentioning it.

Pretty soon we’ll see just one big super conference, and all the other schools will be relegated to the old equivalent of 1A, like Syracuse: oh wait they all ready are!!! Go Orange!

Former NFL WR Demaryius Thomas had CTE when he died at 33 - The Boston Globe

Doctors from Boston University announced that Thomas was diagnosed with Stage 2 CTE, but his life and death were also complicated by seizures brought on by a 2019 car crash.

Demaryius Thomas died in December at 33, mere months after retiring from a Pro-Bowl career in the NFL in which his charisma, humility and team-first ethos on the field made him a favorite of teammates and fans. Those closest to him said his behavior became increasingly erratic in the last year of his life, which was marked by the memory loss, paranoia and isolation that are hallmarks of chronic traumatic encephalopathy, the degenerative brain disease linked to repeated head hits.

On Tuesday, doctors from Boston University announced that Thomas was posthumously diagnosed with Stage 2 CTE, but his life and death were also complicated by seizures brought on by a 2019 car crash. They attacked with little or no warning and led Thomas to wreck other cars and fall down steps. The coroner’s office in Fulton County, Georgia, has not yet ruled on the cause of his death, but doctors in Boston said he most likely died after a seizure.

“He had two different conditions in parallel,” said Dr. Ann McKee, the neuropathologist who studied Thomas’ brain. She added that seizures were not generally associated with CTE.

Because of the dual conditions, Thomas’ CTE diagnosis does not bring the neat clarity that has punctuated other NFL players’ demises. His family, friends and former teammates will not know how much football is responsible for Thomas’ struggles and are only now coming to grips with the extent to which he suffered.

“It amazes me now when we talk about how a young man that age can be in so much pain but still smile,” said Carlos Jones, Thomas’ pastor who was with him when a seizure caused Thomas to fall down the steps in his home in early 2021. “It was just a testament of how strong he was.”
