BBTV Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Yes, we should feel bad for the drunk driver. It's a shame he's "punishing himself mentally". EDIT: I'll drop the DUI talk. Just to get back to football, could/should a team that signs a "bad guy" that gets in trouble or needs to be cut be punished? Maybe put some more responsibility on the team to do their homework or encourage them to not take risks on known bad actors? The obvious downside is that it could encourage teams to hide things, but we all know there's "fixers" and that stuff happens already. So kinda like "OK, if you want to bring that guy into our league, you're vouching for him and if he screws up, YOU pay."

dont care Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 No, even with the AB stuff, who would you punish, you surely can punish the patriots because they didn’t know about this stuff that happened years ago when they signed him. You also can’t punish the Steelers because they didn’t know about it either even if they almost encouraged his behavior by letting things slide. You can’t punish the team for the mistakes of the individual. The team can’t control everything a player does. And if a player does get suspended or commissioner exempt listed isn’t that enough punishment for a team being without a player that can help them win football games which is what every teams goal is each week next to making money.

Teams would not "hide things", the player and his party are the ones who are hiding. Remember, a college program may hide issues so that the kid can be drafted and give money back to the school/program quid pro quo. The NFL and teams use former FBI and former police detectives to interview collegiate coaches and staff before the draft, so they look at any public documents they can obtain. There is a NFL Security Department, so not just the draft but gameday. The second link illustrates how addicted we are to football and how the NFL thinks they are secured and how many miles they claim they walk during a game to prove that. Regardless of industry, talent generally supersedes risk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont care Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 So AB is “done with the NFL” blaming the owners for stripping him of 40 million in guarantees. Dude needs to look in the mirror and see that it was his ass that caused this not them. Good bye and good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinFromBoston Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I still think he takes the year off, and some team(s) will make him an offer next season when this is all ancient history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockstar Matt Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Cowboys are struggling to beat the Dolphins... Sloppy football, self-inflicted mistakes. Hopefully they’ll wake up in the second half. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 The NFL made pass interference reviewable.

Red Comet Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Chiefs-Ravens game has suddenly turned into what they were advertising. Lamar Jackson is the next Michael Vick. But a better passer. Sleep tight DCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBTV Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Three phantom offensive PIs, including one at the very end on a great catch near the end zone that cost the eagles the game. Can’t be challenged because inside 2 minutes. Eagles sucked today, and can’t win while their top WRs are out, but the refs took this one. 3 offensive PI?

He hasn’t been the same since suffering those tears back in 2017, but it also doesn’t help that his WR corps is trash and drops everything. I think he still is a good QB but he hasn’t continued to improve. He’s definitely no longer a far better QB than Dak though.

Wings Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Niners have a bad case of turnoveritis (4) Lucky for them they're only losing 6-3 because the Steelers are playing like crap too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalcowboyfan92 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Dallas played like crap the first 30 minutes, really should never have been as close as it got at half (10-6). Perhaps Dallas was too busy looking forward to next week against New Orleans to actually show up and play in the first half. You're not going to win many games if you play like you did in the first half; they were lucky they were playing a team in Miami who punted the ball on the season before they even took their first snap.

Nick Foles doesn’t have a great track record of holding on to jobs. When he’s on he’s outstanding, but that’s not the norm. 1 hour ago, DG_Now said: Is Carson Wentz good? It doesn't seem like it. I still think yes - but he’s plagued by the feeling of needing to do it all himself, which is what happens when your top targets aren’t available. I’m no fan of him personally but I really do feel that he should be a top 5, maybe better QB. The thing is that the word “should” doesn’t usually get thrown around with guys in that elite tier, and for good reason. I don’t think 2017 was a fluke, and he was on the way to MVP before he got hurt while beating the rams.
