NFL 2016: WEEK THIRTEEN


Dolfan in NYC

Recommended Posts

The WSJ is reporting that starting next year the London games will not start earlier (ie: 9:30 AM EST)

Mainly because the networks hated it and since the ratings are down for the early morning start, the NFL is going to stop doing it

It took them this log to figure out that no one on the west coast is going to wake up to watch game at 6:30 AM?

When the Rams had the 6:30am London game, everyone around here was just happy that we were going to get better 10am & 1pm games and not be stuck watching this awful team.

Now that Goff has debuted, and it's the same shitty team with him - no one cares anymore.  Awful Announcing had fun article about how both other games on Sunday AND the USC game from the night before all got better ratings than the 10am Rams/Saints game.

Mike Zimmer had emergency eye surgery and will not coach the Vikings tonight

Mike Priefer is calling the shots tonight.  Deadspin reminded me about Chris Kluwe's Priefer story:

Quote

Near the end of November, several teammates and I were walking into a specialist meeting with Coach Priefer. We were laughing over one of the recent articles I had written supporting same-sex marriage rights, and one of my teammates made a joking remark about me leading the Pride parade. As we sat down in our chairs, Mike Priefer, in one of the meanest voices I can ever recall hearing, said: “We should round up all the gays, send them to an island, and then nuke it until it glows.” The room grew intensely quiet, and none of the players said a word for the rest of the meeting. The atmosphere was decidedly tense. I had never had an interaction that hostile with any of my teammates on this issue—some didn’t agree with me, but our conversations were always civil and respectful. Afterward, several told me that what Mike Priefer had said was “messed up.”

lovely
