Twitter: League looking into Romo rib injury report

[WoodysGirl]

 

[Word Mofo]

Uh oh.....

Don't the beloved Patriots never disclose a litany of Brady's injuries?

 

[mahoneybill]

Anything to get something on us....

Voldamara is that you lurking behind this.

 

[Direwolf63]

I don't get it......

When Romo referred to rib injuries in the NFL Network interview, he was talking about injuries in prior years. Not this year.

 

[WoodysGirl]

Because the rib injury was undisclosed, the injury didn’t appear in the injury reports. As a result, the NFL is exploring whether the Cowboys violated the rules regarding the reporting of injuries.

“We’re looking into it,” NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said via email.

Typically, the NFL doesn’t like to nail its teams for violating the injury reporting rules, for multiple reasons. First, the NFL prefers not to publicly admit that there are cheaters in its midst. Second, the rules regarding the reporting of injuries are far from perfect, allowing for all sorts of irregularities and blatant violations. Third, if the public becomes aware of enough violations, the public will begin to realize that, while the rules are aimed at erasing the perception of the existence of inside information that would be available to gamblers, inside information indeed exists. And every Henry Hill or Jimmy Burke or Johnny Bag-a-donuts already knows it.

They tend to do the opposite. They always list Brady with a shoulder problem or somethlng like that week after week.

That is what I thought, sounded like he was talking about injuries he had and still played

 

[Bowdown27]

Knew this was gonna happen. Said on Twitter bout nflpa looking into it.

 

[Zimmy Lives]

Whatever. Tony can make something up about his little boy taking a bat to his ribs or something. The league can't do anything about it.

 

[CowboyStar88]

How do they know the Cowboys even knew about it? If Romo has been taking meds for the back it would obviously help the pain in the ribs and minimize it. Maybe he didn't think it was serious maybe he was just experiencing some pain there. Seems silly to investigate this IMO

 

[TellerMorrow34]

They don't need to list every single injury that he has. That's just stupid. He's listed every week with a back situaiton. Isn't that freaking enough?

Yeah look into it like you looked into the Ray Rice tape and all your other problems like stupid penalties that need to be abolished.

So does he have a rib injury or not? What exactly did he say?

Would hiding an injury be cheating? Not sure I get that one.

 

[Titleist]

Slow day at the office for the NFL, I guess.

It'a about competitive advantages in team preparation and it would greatly affect the betting line. If Manning is hurt and they don't list it then Manning is out on game day, it affects a lot of things including the betting lines.

That opens up all kinds of issues with even peripheral team personnel who might say something. Like Woody's Girl said, it keeps the wise guys out of luring someone to give inside information.

 

[Sportsbabe]

You the one started this mess (Calvin).

 

[links18]

Why does the league care about betting lines?

....and don't forget the part about all of y'all going to Jounalism Summer School.
