Cobra Commander Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 thinking this is gonna be a week where i'm watching RedZone during the Chiefs game because the Chiefs are locked into their playoff spot no matter what and the only starters they'll likely play are the ones they absolutely can't sit down for a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contentious C Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 (edited) Kind of Groundhog Day-ish that if Buffalo loses this week and still makes the playoffs, they'll likely...play the same team in the same spot again next week.

RIPPA Posted January 2 Author Share Posted January 2 Also Brad Allen's crew (the officials who just fucked up the Lions/Cowboys game) will be working... Steelers/Ravens on Saturday Now as many have pointed out - most likely the NFL assigns all games prior to the start of the season to make it easy for the booking of travel, etc... but yeah... the NFL probably wishes this wasn't the case Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude is just gross. IIRC Vince Russo has a cousin who’s a local sportswriter or radio host or whatever they call themselves now. He looks more like a talking male body part than he does a wart last I seen him. I think he was on that NFL Top 10 show for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tabe Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 1 hour ago, Tabe said: The internal NFL report on the Brad Allen Screws the Lions Incident has been partially leaked and, unsurprisingly, blames the Lions. Because, apparently, having #68 walked right up to the referee and tell him he's reporting as eligible, was deceptive. And the NFL has now released a video memo to "remind" teams of the proper procedure for reporting eligibility. And they've deceptively edited it to imply that Detroit didn't follow the correct procedure. The article I'm linking below includes a nice screen cap of Taylor Decker doing the chest rub motion to indicate his eligibility. I realize the horse I'm beating here is long dead but I'm still salty. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/the-nfl-made-an-insultingly-stupid-video-about-detroit-lions-eligibility-snafu/ar-AA1mnlue?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=f17633bc766143fa8e9120941cb1e7e7&ei=12 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Wilson Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Just now, Dolfan in NYC said: At 39, I'm sure Flacco would rather have the rest than the money. Its true. I'm 40 and I won my office fantasy league, the CEO asked me if I'd rather have $200 or Friday off, I'm now off on Friday.

Tabe Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) The NFLPA has released the results of their poll ranking the top coordinators in the NFL.
