The Swamp

Oh great, now Belichick is going to instruct his team to kneel every game.

Not sure if the object of the Amazon All Or Nothing season with Dallas was supposed to make Jerry Jones look like as much of a douche as possible but if so mission accomplished.

So that anthem resolution was a league dictated thing and not voted on. Yet the league said it was unanimous, to make it seem so, so great. Any question as to where they got that kind of idea?

Themselves.

It's been reported that Jed York and Mark Davis (I think) abstained from voting (can't piss off the other owners with a "no" vote, even in an unofficial vote) and the Jets CEO said they would never fine a player for protesting during the national anthem. Certainly doesn't seem "unanimous".

I expect a restraining order request from the NFLPA before the season starts.

If the NFL (owners) ever slowed themselves down and thought, "Let's try to only make 98% of the possible money instead of 100% of the possible money", they'd probably do better because they wouldn't be tripping over their own dicks at every possible turn.

They just got a $2 billion dollar deal from Verizon for streaming, so they can probably risk upsetting a sliver of their fanbase in the name of coming off like human beings. Besides, if season ticket holders are going to return their tickets and people are going to not watch (very little proof this will happen over the last year) because silent protest is allowed, there's a good chance other people are going to buy tickets or watch the games... or the reported 133,000-person waiting list to get Packers' season tickets is a work of fiction.

Racists buy sneakers too.

Nobody trips on their own dicks like the NFL.

Apparently they didn't even have a real vote. Just asked a few what they thought and ran with it.

They've also managed to somehow royally piss off both liberals and conservatives, so kudos on bringing America together I guess.

It's always image over substance with this shit. Always.

Money talks, bullshit walks.

But I love seeing conservatives getting all in a tizzy because of PATRIOTISM IN MURICA.

Sage advice.

49ers said they wouldn’t sell during anthem I think.

This tattoo is awesome. (Maybe the wrong thread, but whatevs.)

Fuck that arm.

How much would all that work cost?

Just trying to figure out what the guy has pissed away for himself/his family.

Hmmm, well since it is done by a contestant from Inkmaster, I'd venture that she's at least $175-$200 an hour.

And with the amount of detail and color on the arm (plus the note that it was over 5 years), I'd say it would be at least 50 hours.

Plus tip.

So...possibly $10 grand, maybe more.

That's a lot of meth.

Thanks.

They should just say they couldn't make it because they're all suffering from bone spurs.

I thought it would take 200 years for somebody to make the Eagles sympathetic, but the Patriots & Trump managed to do it in less than a year.

Gonna be awesome when a deaf player makes the NFL.

You mean again?

Wow, what a "Fuck you" to Malcolm Jenkins.

Wouldn't you love to see a strike over this nonsense?

Not going to happen, but still...

I can’t tell without googling whether Delaware was cracking wise or that was a real statement.

Yeah, I feel like it's the former.

Idiots.

Shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU, that Edelman got busted for PEDs.

Julian PEDelman.

:(

Meh, probably just got them for his wife.


In reality, probably helped him recover from the ACL faster, gives him 4 weeks without wear and tear, and gives the team an extra roster spot.

I am shocked, SHOCKED I TELL YOU, that more NFL players don't get busted for PEDs because I'd think there are more that do it than don't.

He's probably done them before. Undersized dude, late round pick, blah, blah. I just think that majority of the dudes in the NFL are juicing or have juiced. Especially the guys at either end of their career and/or coming back from injury.

Brady is near the end of his career.

You know why they take PED's? Because they work!
