This is from the Phil McKinnely Wiki and lol just lol at the exchange between Rolle and McKinnely

quote:

McKinnely was accused by Samari Rolle of calling him "boy" in the December 3, 2007 game between the Baltimore Ravens and the New England Patriots. The alleged exchange occurred late in the game when the Patriots retook the lead with 44 seconds remaining. Several penalties occurred in the closing minutes, including an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when Raven Linebacker Bart Scott picked up a penalty flag and threw it into the stands in frustration of hearing the banter of Rolle and McKinnely. After the game, Rolle vented in the locker room to the reporters, "The refs called me a boy. No. 110 called me a boy, I will be calling my agent in the morning and sending my complaint. I have a wife and three kids. Don't call me a boy. Don't call me a boy on the field during a game because I said, 'You've never played football before." The NFL investigated the accusation.[1]

tldr: Rolle got into a shouting match with McKinnely after a flag and told him "You've never played football before". MckInnely, a seven year veteran of the NFL called Rolle a "boy". Rolle then whined about being owned in a locker room interview.

At first I thought it was a white ref calling him that but nah, Rolle just got son'd.

i gotta say coming to the conclusion that they fixed the game because of kneeling is a pretty loving piping hot take

quote:

OK folks, this is the low down…

This year the NFL has lost fans, viewers, ratings, TV revenue and sponsorship dollars.

They want to make up as much as they can since the “kneeling controversy” has subsided.

They need viewers. So by “controlling” the playoff picture ( NFC South is a great opportunity for them), they can create a bigger demand for some of the games remaining.

By making sure the Saints had a disadvantage in the first Atlanta game, they helped insure a lost, which will make the second game a “must see” event.

So there you have it. It’s all about ratings and TV revenue. The NFL couldn’t give a rat’s rear end about each team and their fans. For that matter, the front office of your beloved team couldn’t give a rats rear end about you- the fan.

It’s all about control and the almighty dollar. Just like everything else is.

GO SAINTS!!! WHO DAT!

I have a cousin who is probably going to drop her Titans season tickets because of the kneeling and will just be a Vols and Predators fan. She's former military so that's part of it.

When the players repeatedly clarify it has nothing to do with the troops... the continuing to insist that it does is kinda her own deal.

Also if she was a pats fan walking away i’d be impressed. Not buying TITANS season tickets seems like a good entertainment decision.

If only those military veterans knew what they should be offended about or not!

Anyway, I said earlier that any season with a Patriots beating and a playoff berth is technically a good season, but I really don't feel great about potentially losing 3 times to the Saints in one season.
