So does it or does it not count since the Falcons beat the Bears in Chicago?

Call a good game, provide great insight....and shut the frick up with the political commentary


So you're saying this guy isn't any good?









You sound like a racist.

I'm going to guess that Harvey and Irma had more of an impact on ratings than Colin. CNN wasn't doing wall to wall coverage with most of their anchors on the ground in harms way just because people complained about their lack of coverage for Harvey, they were doing it because people were watching.

I just don't understand how people can't comprehend that Kaep is a mediocre quarterback.

He won one game last season and went all vegan, losing his size and athleticism. That's the main reason he can't find work.

He's also clearly selfish and a distraction to the team.

NFL is just a shitty product. Fantasy football bought it another 10 years but people are pretty much tired of that too

This.

The NFL sucks to watch and while fantasy football put it on life support, I feel that fantasy is now on the downswing.

Normally I think the opposite for most things in life, but football just isn't as good as it was even a few years ago. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if this is the beginning of a slow death for football. I'm really interested to see what the NFL landscape is in 15 years.

I hope he is working on his celebration dance. The whole league is moving towards that and not quality play.

And to whom does that appeal?

Saints game had a RB bobble a ball and dropped his head trying to go after it. The Saints player was penalized because he was just trying to tackle him during this process.

When pussy arse shite like that is called illegal why would i want to watch such BS?

I think that people that actually like the NFL still watch and don't care about the boycott. It's the baws who never really cared and just watched to be part of the crowd trying to act like they are super patriotic by now not watching.

I stopped watching most outside of the Steelers for two reason:

1) Bringing politics into a game
2) Stupid fricking penalties are ruining the game for me.

I'll start watching more games when they stop that shite.

Until then...
