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.

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

This. Also applies to all political pundits, too.

I'll never understand anyone who dislikes someone, yet follows that person on twitter (say, Darren Rovell). I get it, you want to mock him, but following him and interacting with his tweets helps him.

Donald trump haters follow him vociferously.

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.

Hitting for the cycle. Pretty impressive. Hope the NFL breaks down the suspension for each offense (i.e. hitting a woman is 2 games, hitting a kid is 4 games and hitting a dog is 6 games, etc.)

Somehow I missed that tremendous footage of the Pacman Jones fight at the Atlanta Airport. It seems the young people that do get on at the airport should be selling water. How the fuck do you go to work and pick a fight with a customer? Same kind of shitty decision making that makes you choose an NFL player for a fight.

And a 40 year old man at QB.
