Oh, man, I'm sorry you're not feeling well. It's too bad you won't be able to make the wedding.

(I'll let someone else post the singing nurse. I'm at work. Blech.)

Also the 2nd/3rd string front 7.

I think he means more in terms of combo blocks where he's supposed to help the center drive the tackle before releasing and taking the linebacker. He's saying he wasn't doing enough to help Wang block the tackle. A lot of that is from timing and experience in the system- knowing how long to hold the block on the tackle before releasing. From what I recall, both guards were doing a better job with that in the spring and the start of fall camp.

The NLRB has historically avoided designations of employee status on their rulings until groups meet all other measurements. Any ruling on employee status could potentially have huge impact on hundreds, if not thousands of people and companies, which also means it can affect state or even national economics. So the fact that they didn't address it is not such a big deal. If they had ruled definitively that student athletes are NOT employees with their dismissal of this case then it would have been significant.

What they are doing now is establishing the benchmarks for unionization. The NLRB's findings are such that at present their is insignificant numbers to warrant a union that would otherwise impact a much larger industry, and create unfair competitive practices which is exactly what unions are inherently meant to be against.

If the National Labor Relations Board isn't willing to say that athletes are employees, and the athletes need that piece of justification to ensure they can unionize, I'm not sure how they can proceed and get what they want.

Not sure where you read this, because this wasn't stated nor ruled on by the NLRB.

The door has been left open for more cases to be judged on by the NLRB which means at minimum that there is some merit to student athletes pursuing unionization, but it established a very high benchmark in that it would expect the majority of all student athletes to be included in a successful case. And as VTGuitarman pointed out this is for private universities only so while that benchmark is high, it isn't unobtainable.

We are going to play a game called who is your Daddy and what does he do...

you mean this?

I'll just say this... knew a couple girls who went to rush for Alpha Phi and were incredibly turned off when the first question that was asked of them in the entire process was "so what does your daddy do?" So to see a video like this that glorifies the image of who they are and not what it is that they do does not really surprise me.

He's not fat. He's cultivating mass.

who wants their first real shot at starting in the NFL to be behind a horrendous offensive line. Today people are quick to blame the QB for everything.........when in actuality the team around the QB is just bad. You work with what you got though.

Tyrod could learn a lot with a quick call to Cam Newton. Being blamed for not winning enough games despite putting up consistently good numbers behind a consistently bad OL has practically defined his first 3 years in the league.

Scary though because who wants their first real shot at starting in the NFL to be behind a horrendous offensive line. Today people are quick to blame the QB for everything.........when in actuality the team around the QB is just bad. You work with what you got though.

As a Ravens fan and a Hokie I always hoped that TT would get his shot. He is making the most of it thus far!!

Awesome to read this, and happy for Tyrod! Thanks for sharing the link.
