I think all of this bullshit draws in more viewers and conversation and whatever else that the league wants.  The old ‘any publicity is good publicity’ theory.  The games themselves aren’t what the league is about.  They went all in on 24×7/365 and this is the result.  It’s not just local radio but you now have multiple national tv shows on mul…[Read more]

Here we fucking go.

Asked about the #Patriots history, Goodell said, “That’s a factor. But most important is this incident.”

That’s a factor

New Zealand orders more than 1,290 square feet of human skin for badly burned volcano victims

Didn’t know you could place an order for ‘human skin’ although good to know it’s available by the square foot.

It’s all breathless bullshit for broads.  All you have to do is replace Brady with Celebrity X and it’s the same shit wives go on about.  That’s what’s taken over most sports but especially the NFL.  Every Sunday it’s a 4 hour red carpet special prior to kickoff, on multiple stations. Let’s go live to see Tom Brady walk in to the stadium, ooooh wh…[Read more]

Eli looks like a hobo.  He was probably pissed that starting last night distracted from his latest memorabilia fraud scheme.

Dallas Stars fire their head coach for ‘unprofessional conduct.’  Old friend Rick Bowness taking over.

I’ve missed large portions of the last 5 or so games, going back to the Sunday nighter at the Ravens.  Combination of business travel and my one kid having a soccer academy in the middle of the late kickoffs – Eagles/Cowboys/Chiefs.  Normally I’d DVR or at least ask my wife to take one of the Sunday afternoon soccer gigs, but honestly I just say n…[Read more]

I’m coming close to throwing in the towel.  I’m barely watching the games as is.

Strasburg gets seven years and $245 million from Nationals, per source. @JeffPassan 1st.

I love this stuff.  “per source” why not just say as Jeff Passan reported as he’s your source.

Sounds like the Browns failed to let the Bengals know that the video stuff was happening.  Pro organization they have out there.

And the supposed ‘apology’ was reported on the Monday after the game, so within a 24 hour window from the game.  With the NFCCG, supposedly Riveron spoke with Pillhead after the game, and Goodell didn’t publicly address it until midweek prior to the Super Bowl.  Of course Pillhead was the source to say that he spoke with Riveron, Sean never met a…[Read more]

7/$245 for Strasburg from the Nationals.  I hope to God Cole signs with Genius Joe.

I love how everyone hangs their hat on ‘it has to be clear and obvious!’  Where the fuck have you been the last however many years, they confirm or overrule a shit ton of plays on ‘eh, close enough’ or better yet ‘well that’s what the rule will be next year, let’s implement it now!’

Party Bus Blandino  going with Tyreek Hill was going to catch Gilmore anyway, he’s the fastest guy on the field!  It’s not two hand touch dipshit, and Gilmore was running with a relative caravan of blockers.  Peria or whatever his name is sounded insane.  Letting the plays play out and then looking at them is dangerous!  Huhwha?  That’s the whole…[Read more]

I imagine someone from the Cows called the league to bitch and the guy on the line said ‘yeah gosh that’s too bad’ and it got reported like the league went out of their way to contact the Cows to say they were this close to having the game replayed in its entirety.

Actually was there ever any official league apology on that which was made public?  ESPN reported as ‘a source’ told their Cowboys reporter this happened.  Was it ever verified?

Bert going with the sorree Patriots fans but the league apologized to the Cowboys after those tripping penalties so in fact those were more egregious than yesterday.  Must be warming up for his 98.5 appearances this week.

The Saints owner publicly cried about the non call and Pillhead Payton went into seclusion eating pints of ice cream and watching Netflix.  Nothing about not being able to get a touchdown on that possession or Brees’s pick in overtime.  Speaking of Brees it’s interesting that no one is saying he’s done going 5-3 or so thus far while Bridgewater w…[Read more]

Following last year’s NFCCG and the non PI call you heard for weeks and months and still now how the Saints got screwed and if they got that call punch their ticket they’re in the Super Bowl.  The result was a horse shit rule enacted that simply doesn’t work.  Yesterday had multiple calls that literally took points off the board and its more a…[Read more]

I’ve sent that Jenks story to 3 people.  That’s fucking bananas
