My bet is he just got a tongue-lashing from his mom.

From reading her social media post, I'm not seeing much that indicates she was going to call him up and give him a tongue lashing.

Shirley's his granny on his dad's side. I googled :) . And like I said I'm pretty certain his dad whined on the internet too, about how many targets he was getting. 

If I were a player's mom, I'd be a bit more subtle and do it on message boards under a nickname and try to stir up a narrative. Doing it in your own name just makes your son look like a child who can't handle his own s#!t.

Did you just admit something? Nice to meet you Mrs. Fidone!  :lol:

Maybe I'm spoiled watching George Kittle on my NFL team, but the idea is for big tight ends to catch the ball in any open space on the other side of the line, and use their size and weight advantage to get some YAC against the smaller DBs. These are often quick button routes or slants rather than vertical routes, so YAC is part of the play call. I was actually surprised how quickly and easily Fidone goes down on initial contact. He's probably got some better moments on his highlight reel, but I don't think we're making this up. 

Did the back-up tight ends benefit from different coaching and playcalling? Or did they just do more with the ball, like Emmet Johnson?

 I totally agree that he has been unproductive and that other TEs are more dynamic then him. I was just trying to say that I don't believe with the skillset he has, the coaching staff did things to maximize what he can do well, which I think could be more vertical or intermediate routes especially in the redzone.

I remember during the Akron game in the 90s, one of their OL peed between the hash marks and they had to stop the game to clean it up. At least, this is my memory. It was only on the radio.

Only game we played against Akron in the 90s was the '97 opener. I was at that game, it was when Der Viener Schlinger was given its name. Can't say I remember anything about an Akron player peeing themselves, but maybe they just didn't announce it over the PA... :dunno

It was vomit. I was a rookie in the Cornhusker Marching Band that year, and it happened right before halftime not far from where I was lined up on the sideline to march out onto the field for halftime. An equipment manager did run out "clean it up," but he basically just picked up the big chunks. So when we marched out on to the field, I remember several of us having to dodge the... umm, leftovers. Fun times indeed.
