I just want to let the world know how sorry I am for my actions. It’s been a tough time for me and I’m extremely embarrassed because of that video. I’m definitely not that kind of person. My mother raised me right. I was raised by my mom and my grandma and they taught me right from wrong.
Actually, you are that kind of person.
He also admitted to lying to the Chiefs about what happened after the incident was first reported in February.
Yeah, you're that kind of person.
Love that quote - pay attention to my words, not my deeds.

I think a NE CB would need to literally kill a guy to have the refs call PI on them.

That said this Kirk Cousins signing is going to be legendary for its stupidity. Dude has 40 attempts for 180 yards. It’s pathetic.

You don’t think a guy with a 32-35-1 record as a starter is worth a megadeal?

I know QB wins are overused but it sure seems like Cousins comes up small almost every time he faces a good opponent.

Cousins, Stafford, and Carr are three of the 5 highest paid QBs.

Tony Dungy was outraged (in a quiet way) basically saying that you should never fire a Super Bowl winning coach. Pan to Rodney Harrison who pointed out that no one on the Packers was playing like they gave a shit.

I’ve made a litany of incorrect opinions on many numbers of things, but calling Antonio Brown “merely a stat-compiler” has to rank as among my worst.

Read a good Athletic story recently that stated he is superb at executing a play when everything around him goes to plan. But he had trouble when improvisation was called for.

I'm not usually a blame the refs guy. Because shit happens, and usually it smears both teams over the course of a game, and hey fuck the refs just make a play (maybe keep an eye on Keenan Allen) and win despite them. But the Chargers got two long TDs last night on plays where the refs missed calls that should have nullified the scoring play. Pretty bad, especially when Al seemed to be talking up that officiating crew at one point by pointing out that it was their 4th SNF game this season.

I mean, you are ignoring the new NFL rule that tackles can move one second before the ball is snapped, though...

DUDE. DUUUUUUUDE. This drives me fucking crazy. The linemen barely have to be set anymore.

(It occures to me that you are talking about more egregious movements than I am thinking of having now seen the play in that game - which also let the chargers score on the Browns earlier this season)

Agreed there has been drift in it being called. And, as you all know, I am no big fan of the Steelers, but holy fuck, the Chargers right tackle was at least a full beat ahead of the snap on his backward movement on the first long TD for the Chargers.

Did somone on the Steelers side of the ball involved in defensive play-calling/scheme have Keenan Allen on their fantasy team, by chance?

Pretty shocking that, any time there is a microphone in front of a coach-turned-talking head, the coach is never to blame for whatever the problem is (Jeff Van Gundy is also excellent at this).

I don't think Haden was offsides on the first field goal attempt either but I mean, just score once and you win. I can't get too angry blaming refs here.



Also, the Texans looked a lot less fraudulent yesterday. It's almost like they were slumping for a month and a half and just happened to win some of the games during said slump. They could certainly be trouble for NE or KC in the playoffs...particularly NE, whom they always seem to play well.




And thirdly, Josh Allen looked like a real actual NFL QB yesterday. I didn't think he would look that good in a full game this year. Good for him. He was still oblivious to pressure and got away with a few passes he maybe shouldn't have gotten away with, and the Dolphins kept rushing him like he wouldn't juke the defender and run for 20 yards no matter how many data points to the contrary that they had, but he made a lot of really, really good sustainable throws yesterday.

He broke badly on the ball and ran as if he was wearing snowshoes.

A bad loss for Bills fans, but Allen did show everything we needed to see yesterday in terms of potential. Give him a couple of average receivers and he could be really good.

True dat. And, still. Allen made a great play to make that throw, and that's a fucking catch that pretty much any NFL receiver should be able to make.

That guy is probably related to the Browns fan who bought a Ryan Pontbriand jersey (the Browns former long snapper).

Steelers first rounders typically sell a ton of jerseys, particularly linemen. Because we all think we're tough OL type people or whatever dumb shit it is.

In Buffalo the (bad) QB is king. You still see the occasional Edwards or Losman shirt.

A couple weeks ago at PFT:
Another source tells PFT that team president Bruce Allen previously has made clear within the organization his position that Kaepernick won’t be signed by Washington, ever. Allen is a political conservative, which would make Kaepernick and his habit of protesting during the national anthem something that Allen wouldn’t be inclined to embrace, ever.
Even more reason for a Washington QB to get injured every week, just to see who turns up as bottom of the barrel continues to be scraped.

Yeah, it's a no-lose situation. (Aside from the QB's legs I suppose.)
