Man, if I'm Shedeur, I'm on the phone with the UFL. There's gotta be enough cash in the coffers to make it palatable. You've controlled the narrative the entire time until now. Take it back. The league looks silly, lean all the way into clowning them back.

The argument for banning the tush push in the name of player safety is not done in good faith, IMO. Here's what Jason Kelce told me about it in October 2023 as the Eagles were really starting to roll with it: "If you look across the league, it’s really not a high-injury play." (1/3)
