Who does that make Voldemort? Tom Brady?

You care way too much about obscure records and rivalries that involve the Ravens

quote:

After the tweet, a second source, with whom Mort had a better relationship, urged him to adopt a broader description: that the balls were merely “significantly underinflated.” In that tweezers-sized distinction, you could see a preview of the madness that would become Deflategate. Mort told me, “That should have raised the journalist in me to a higher level. I’ve got to ask some more questions here. What are we talking about, 2 pounds under? But, no, I got to get on TV.” He had to be an insider.

In appearances on TV and radio, Mort said he immediately backtracked to the safer ground of “significantly underinflated.” But Mort’s January 20 tweet and ESPN.com story that contained the 2 pounds per square inch number remained uncorrected for more than six months . …

Mort’s cool began to melt only when he started to get a number of death threats. “What bothered me is we’re in an era where if your wife goes onto social media, she basically reads that they want you to die,” Mort said. “Even after I got cancer, I got some death wishes.”

The Mortensens live in Arkansas. But when Mort was working in Bristol, they often stayed in a house they leased in Connecticut. As the Deflategate threats began to pile up, Mort told Micki he didn’t want her traveling to Connecticut anymore. “My job is to protect her,” he said. When Mort himself came to Bristol, he behaved like someone who was living under a public threat. He went straight from the ESPN studio to his home, avoiding restaurants and rarely appearing in public.

I think if the NFL had its way, we would all be robots. We would all be perfect human beings off the field so that the league would never have to deal with another p.r. nightmare and everybody would smile and nod and hand the ball over to the official after a touchdown or a big play.

The funny thing is, if the NFL did have its way, we would lose what makes our game great. We would lose what draws fans to the sport.

We play a game. Part of the joy of watching that game is seeing the emotion on display. Seeing the passion. If guys didn’t play with passion and just went out there and went through the motions, I think people would stop watching.

We’re already seeing a bit of that. TV ratings are down, and I think we can point to the NFL legislating the emotion out of the game as a contributing factor. The NFL is enforcing a policy against celebration. Against joy. Against fun. It’s something I know a lot of players are frustrated with, and it appears that fans may be as well.

Why does Sherman have to be such a fucktard on the field, because off the field I feel like we could be besties

Sorry but football players with huge egos and poo poo talkers make the sport better

I can't wait until the next comish makes it mandatory to hurl the ball at the face mask of the nearest defensive player after you score a td

I want a league that stops suspending players and starts getting creative instead. Instead of giving Burfict time off, force him to play with an old school leather helmet and no facemask. Aldon Smith isn't allowed to have a BAC below .15 during gametime.


Josh Brown isn't allowed back until he spends a night alone in a haunted house with special guest Steve Smith Sr. and a baseball bat

Brannock posted:

Abby is probably done, I think. The IR isn't because of a serious injury but he was going to be out for a few games and they wanted to free up a roster spot without cutting him. But he's been injured so much in the past three seasons, I don't think his body is capable of withstanding the rigors of playing in the NFL.

Dear Whomever You Are,

Please don't brag about Alex Smith's 2 touchdowns in two games.

Thanks.

kiimo

p.s. you are welcome to mention KC's 15-3 record in the last 18 games, however.

But wait! There's more! Throughout this record setting bombing (on pace for 4,549 yards and 40 TDs allowed) the Lions have had one positive player in their back seven, star cornerback Darius Slay. Surely he can slow down a passing attack...oh, he hurt his hamstring last week and is almost surely out for the game. He was replaced by a career special teams player by the name of Jonathan BADemosi.

Actually I was working and now I'm settling in to watch the Golden One Center open, but I checked the score and it was a blowout, and terrible.
