Exactly. Something like this happens, and the sportswriters either go to a "doctor", who knows nothing about the case other than watching the film and guessing, and reports what that doctor "thinks" happened, or they just make crap up and people run with it like it's gospel. HIPPA applies to NFL players just like everyone else. Until Joe tells us what happened, or releases his doctor to tell us, no one really knows.
