Last year, one of my papers on women's concussions was profiled on CBS with Brianna Scurry (!!!!).

TLDR version: The concussion protocols are used to treat everyone, but based about 80% on male athlete data. We need more data diversity in concussion research!

Gender gap in concussion research leaves female athletes struggling
80% of sports concussion research has focused on men, possibly leaving women without the care they need.

It sure would be a shame if the New York Giants hired away Eagles offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo, for their head
coaching job. That’s Kevin Patullo. #flyeaglesfly

AJ Brown should get free punches at any offensive coach of his choice

It is actually masterful how consistently Newcastle have managed to ruin my weekends this season. I have been following since Andy Cole left, but at least I'm the only one herein Colo Springs. I cannot imagine the mood at work Monday morning in Newcastle. #nufc

I don't need to be #nufc s manager to say "I have yet to see Woltemade run with the ball at his feet, or run onto a long ball in space. If we don't have a striker doing this against teams pressing us, we are in big trouble creating goals on the counter. Oh dear, that is exactly where we are at!

BDB definitely should have come off earlier. At the very least, after his VAR review.

But how are we in that position to begin with? Every team we played has effectively targeted him. We know we don’t have a real left back, why not change formation? That’s on Eddie. Doomed from the start.
Why was BDB still in to get his 2nd yellow?

Are the midfielders having a contest to see who is the most disinterested?

Have you ever seen anyone show a lack of effort like Botman did on the third goal?

Will we need to suffer through yet another “fans deserve better” post from Bruno?

Abysmal in the 2nd half. Today’s result totally rests on Howe. This obsession on Pope and keeping Burn on on a yellow against Dango was diabolical #nufc

As soon as #NUFC lost the lead, you sensed they would lose the game. No ability to react in play when momentum shifts.

Howe’s game management so poor. Burn on too long. All far too easy & predictable; away issues not just since April either.

Reaction on YT coming up.

Brentford - as with other teams we’ve played recently - were usually first to the ball, tougher in the tackle and better at distributing. We were, by and large, dreadful.

Trying to think of a time today when we even pressed Brentford in possession. #nufc

He comes deep to link up play because we're not progressing the ball at all

But when he does that, he's got two centre backs on him, and they're aggressive as fuck, so he's reliant upon an absolutely perfect first touch

It's not really his fault. We're wank 🙂

To be fair he's lost out in a fair few duels today too. Some nice play, but he has been one of the reasons we haven't been able to retain possession in Brentford's half

Woltemade has been invisible today too. In this kind of match with a need to counter attack with speed, his skills are wasted. #nufc

I love Dan Burn.

He's not a left-back.

He's been booked.

That should have been a penalty.

Lewis Hall is on the bench and fit enough to play half an hour.

For fuck's sake, make the change. #nufc

Local press need to do their job and quiz Howe about his decision to leave a rattled Burn on a yellow card on after multiple warning. Madness.

Newcastle have gotten some big decisions, but Brentford got all the 50/50s all day. #nufc

Whatever happens, Eddie made him ruminate on this penalty for like 6 minutes. Good shithousery. #nufc

Normalize players getting yellow cards for diving because that's the correct ref decision. Brentford are the better side, they don't need to resort to cheating. These commentators are posh bellends. #nufc #brenew

Schade has been a little shit all day. He deserved a yellow 5 minutes ago when he kicked a midfielder halfway up the shin after losing possession. How does he not get a yellow for either? #nufc

Stupid to think this result matters for #nufc really but I'd rather be 6 points behind Man Utd and Spurs than 8 points behind one of them.

It would only be 3 points if we could remember how to play football anywhere further South than Gateshead.

Must have been deliberate last night but Joelinton was pushing up top more than usual and was getting into space for chances and rightfully took his goal. Need to see more of that from him in coming weeks #nufc
