Well, the Pats won. Doesn't look like anyone got hurt. I'll take it. Ugly game though. Brady isn't going to survive if he keeps getting hit that much. Jets in 10 days. Ugh.

Bad break there for big blue. As to the rest of the squad, I can't say I can remember the Giants being this bad. I have to wonder if they'll win more than 3 or 4 this year. I could say I look forward to a good draft pick but I'm sure that'll be a bust too unless Reese finally sees the door.

Re: 2017 NFL Week 5
Eli is signed for two more years and I think if they cut him after 2018 his cap hit is only $6M or so. This season is already over for them, so it looks like time to start planning that rebuild.malchior wrote:Bad break there for big blue.

ESPN suspended Jemele Hill for tweeting over the weekend.
I don't see how this is a suspendable offense...or really an offense at all. She was polite and pointed out a position. I could see her saying the same thing on her show. Crazy.

ESPN is like that though. There's a reason intelligent anchors leave.

They realize how unhelpful shitting on the NFL is when that is the only thing keeping them afloat. I'm actually surprised it wasn't longer or that they didn't fire her. As it stands I predict they take heat from both directions. Half measures are seldom effective.

She works on a commercial network yes? Advertisers are the one group you don't mess with. These days where mega corporations own multiple brands, you can't really call for a boycott of one particular advertiser without impacting many advertisers, including the ones of your own network or show. That's how I'd see it if I was her boss.

Well do you ever get the feeling that the story's too damn real and in the present tense?
Or that everybody's on the stage and it seems like you're the only person sitting in the audience?

Half-Time "First Last Jedi" world premier trailer..... (edit: fixed!)
While I'm still excited, and there is no chance I wont go and probably defend it eventually...
The trailer didn't really make me too thrilled, and instead gave me just the slightest reasons to be a little (more than normally) guarded.
alas.
sigh.
I hope I am the wrongest of wrong. Damn it.

Adrian Peterson just got traded from the Saints to the Cardinals for a conditional round draft pick.
It needed to happen, but I can't imagine the Cardinals being better for him.

Dolphins o-line coach resigns after video of him doing lines of come before a meeting is released. The video is truly worse than it sounds. And he recorded and sent it to his side piece.
Wonder how a guy nearly $600K in debt to the IRS can coach in the NFL with all it's gambling and whatnot.
Raw NSFW video:
Wonder how a guy nearly $600K in debt to the IRS can coach in the NFL with all it's gambling and whatnot.
A video of Chris Foerster snorting a white, powdery substance has cost the Miami Dolphins offensive line coach his job and brought more embarrassment to a team that has been in the national headlines for odd reasons this season.
The video, which a source told the Sun Sentinel was taken in the Dolphins’ Davie offices, shows Foerster (pronounced FURR-stir), snorting three lines with a $20 bill. It was posted Sunday night on the Facebook page of a Las Vegas woman named Kijuana Nige Sherrod, a self-proclaimed model who later suggested on social media that she was exposing the coach in a manner of protest for how NFL players kneeling for the national anthem are being treated.

That letter is a clever gambit, I don't know that it'll work but it's interesting. The league is saying "Your protest has hijacked attention away from your cause, so you're not helping your cause" then they offer to work with the players in a league wide effort to do something constructive. All the players have to do is end the protest.

Re: 2017 NFL Week 6
It really depends what the goal of the protest is. Is it to end racist treatment of blacks by police? Well, it was never likely to succeed there anyway. Is it to raise awareness of the issue and keep it in the forefront? Then it's been successful and would likely continue to be so. I don't want to bring too much R&P into this thread, but the fact that it's pissing a lot of people off isn't necessarily evidence that the protest is not working. A protest on this type of issue works when people get pissed off.noxiousdog wrote:That would be good for both sides.

I don't know if that was the goal but it has been an effect and I think it has been very effective, which is why I stand behind kneeling... or something. The conversation can't stop until meaningful progress is made and this drives it, then I'm all for it. I think so many people trying to shell game the conversation to one of disrespect for the armed forces is evidence of the power.ImLawBoy wrote: Is it to... keep it in the forefront?

Re: 2017 NFL Week 6
While I think they chose a poor way to go about this from the beginning (it would always be misinterpreted as protesting the flag, or the anthem, or the military by those that don't think any deeper than bumper sticker slogans), I think that the NFL is going about this wrong.noxiousdog wrote:That would be good for both sides. I do think their protest is extremely counterproductive though it is way more productive when Trump activated the Streisand effect.
It's fine for the NFL to offer to put the entire league in a position to try to help this cause that their players are raising awareness for. IF that move by the NFL proves fruitful, then the players dial back the protesting.
I don't think that the players can stop under these conditions. I can think of no clearer example of why they are doing what they are doing than Jerry Jones thinking that this would have all been put to bed two weeks ago because they knelt together before the anthem. He has no idea what this is about, which is part of the point.
