And apparently at least a few professional football players think differently so, you know, opinions and assholes.

Then, like, 11 false start penalties on every play?

I’m just telling you why the defensive players are pissed off. You can disagree that it should be a penalty, but the guys taking these hits are saying they’re bad and so, like, blogs. Some players take the lack of a rule against it as an opportunity to head hunt and apparently Landry has a reputation as that type of…

Well, as the current NFL rule book defines it yes, you are absolutely correct. Which is why the defensive players are saying that if the NFL really is serious about curbing some of the “unnecessary” violence in the game it should look at hits like this and consider making a rule against them. This hit, delivered to a…

So...11 false start penalties on every play then?

Because the DB has his eyes in the backfield the entire time and doesn’t have the expectation of a block coming from the outside and so has no way to defend himself. He’s essentially a defenseless receiver except there’s no rule against it which is why offenses draw it up. So they have a really good point about how…

Um, wouldn’t the defense also run as soon as the ball was hiked causing multiple fatal injuries on every single play?

Yeah, Mahomes, fine. But what the hell was that unsportsmanlike conduct flag? I thought we weren’t policing that shit anymore.

If this “campaign” to temper down the violence of the game is going to have any chance of working (and I don’t think it does), coaches need to start getting fined along with the players. Because I promise you that Todd Haley and Hue Jackson are watching this film and telling Landry to keep it up. Additional penalty…

I’ve been watching baseball for 40 years and to this day I have no fucking clue what is and isn’t considered a balk.

Hey I get it and I don’t make the comparisons lightly. Am I saying that these people are going to go on to actually murder millions of people? Most likely not, but the likenesses are striking.

I just binge watched Hitler’s Circle of Evil on Netflix last weekend and the amount of times I had to stop and rewind to make sure it wasn’t all a giant troll on Trump was astounding. Even the ancillary characters are perfect descriptions of current White House ghouls.

I’ve had a similar reaction watching Sacha Baron Cohen’s new show. It just doesn’t feel timely or funny anymore to “trick” horrible people into saying what they really believe when those people are perfectly happy to come out and say those things on Fox News with no fear of reprisal. At this point hypocrisy is almost…

I’m just going to come right out and say it: This is the last blog I click on that has anything to do with the helmet rule. I made it about two paragraphs into this one before I actually fell asleep. This is a boring topic now and it will be a boring topic when it is literally the deciding moment of a Super Bowl. The…

Hey remember when Ray Lewis killed that guy? That was messed up.

Doesn’t it seem a little strange that EA would pick songs with CK references in them to begin with? I mean it’s hardly unavoidable and they had to know they were going to face some kind of pressure from the NFL over it and that this kind of fallout would be the result. Why not just...pick other songs? I’m not…

Yeah I don’t get the confusion. At least two of those would have been called for UR last year. And if that really is the only way to play safety then yeah, maybe they need to eliminate the position. I get that there’s an awful lot of muscle memory baked into these guys and having a ref give them a Power Point…

Don’t get me wrong: I FULLY anticipate being infuriated by this rule on a weekly basis. That being said, all three of those plays were pretty blatant and could have been called as unnecessary roughness penalties even without the helmet rule. And, as said in the first tweet, those are precisely the plays that need to…

Why would you put the song in the game in the first place? Like, pick literally any other song? Or how about NO song? There are probably 300 songs in the stupid game, was anyone going to notice if it was 299 instead?

That this has been the underlying message Fox has been delivering since its inception isn’t all that surprising, but it is shocking how willing they are to lay it bare like this. Imagine running a “news” outlet that actively wants to convince parents that their children do not deserve healthcare and an education as a…
