The @NFLPA just released their player team report cards for 2024 and the results are ... suboptimal for the Chiefs.
Head coach Andy Reid gets A+ but Chiefs rank dead last in training staff and ownership. Ownership gets an F- from the players. pic.twitter.com/2XyHkQfFru

Probably brain, eye, spinal, and heart specialists. [Reply]

Yea, that’s a bit too much time to evaluate a player, I’d say. If all else is true anyway. But he wasn’t going back in anyway. Just from the brief clip they showed of him, he was going to be ruled out. [Reply]
“I was disappointed in the way the training staff of the Chiefs handled the situation,” Van Noy said. “When things like that hurt, especially something that could be serious like mine was, you’re supposed to rely on the team’s training staff or their doctors and I was supposed to see an ophthalmologist—which is somebody who checks out eye(s), performs eye surgery and they took an entire quarter to get down to talk to me in the locker room. Which, to me, is unacceptable. Because then you start thinking, ‘what if I was trying to go back in the game? What if I was really really hurt?’ I know mine was moderate but it still serious because it’s an eye [injury]. And your expectation of someone to be down there as the training staff asked them to be down there would have had a little more urgency. The way it took time was super unprofessional to me. Especially because there were people in there too. One of the doctors, or the friend of the doctor was in there double-cup fisted, styrofoam cups like everything was good and I just felt that was unprofessional.”

There may be nothing in the world I care about less. [Reply]

I’m thinking his football career might be over. That type of injury is bizarre, which I don’t understand how it happened when you have helmet protection on.
Maybe Van Noys helmet came off kind of like Pacheco’s was doing last year if you recall. [Reply]
So is he pissed about how long it took the specialist to arrive, and it took less than a quarter? Dude clearly has never been to the ER. He also seems really mad that a friend of the non-specialist doctor was holding two styrofoam cups, did I read that right? [Reply]
