Chances are the patsy will say that neither Bellichik or Brady told him to do it and he was just an overeager ball guy, the Patriots will secretly give him a large bonus under the table for taking one for the team, Goodell will call the case closed and Al Michaels will once again be forced into reading a statement on…

I'd like to congratulate the NFL for actually asking to see the video this time around

after the Superbowl, of course

I don't understand why some people (usually conservative types) have been putting this into a liberal/conservative box as if showing concern for players well-being in light of the total indifference of the NFL owners is a liberal or conservative issue. Nor is being outraged the league will yawn and dilly-dally over…

I'm shocked. Shocked! To know that a popular football team would have connections to the police department to help clean up any messy situations involving the football team.

Not shown- NFL concussion protocols after Wilson's head got banged around like a bobble head doll

NFL operatives must have sent word down to FOX not to show that hit later in the game lest people get an idea players still get concussions during games. Look for Bradshaw to be handed a note during the post-game show making him say how that wasn't a tough hit and that the NFL concussion protocols are the best in the…

Oh, no doubt the Giants are being greedy little SOB's here but the truth is that almost the first thing Lew's talked about is moving to San Jose and he's made little to no effort to stay in the East Bay. Right now the A's base is in the East Bay and the Giants in SF and if the A's move to San Jose, that all gets…

I think if Wolff wanted to, he could figure out a way to stay in Oakland but he's never really shown any interest or even made an effort to. He's wanted to move that team closer to Silicon Valley since he took over (remember his plan to move the team to Fremont?) while also blaming the Giants for his problems and…

that's why it's so stupid. If the MLS went away for a bit, would anybody care or notice?

These have been around for awhile:

Oh, F the A's. Wolff's been looking to move that team since the day he took over and the only reason why he wants to move to Silicon Valley is so he can start reeling in sweet, sweet, cash from the hi-tech companies. If he really wanted to stay in Oakland he could (there's been proposals made to him) but he doesn't…

I'm all for the players here, but a MLS work stoppage would even make Gary Bettman think it's stupid

All publicly funded stadiums are bad in general but football stadiums are often built in the middle of nowhere and most of the festivities surrounding the game are in parking lots. A lot of baseball stadiums, however, are built in urban, downtown areas so the crowds often visit local places like bars or restaurants…

McNutly is the white "hero" HBO requested because they didn't think people would watch a show that was predominately about African Americans without a white lead. He was the character Simon uses to unlock the rest of the story but isn't really the point of the story. If there's a main character in the show, it's…

Every country has this issue with the various leagues. It's a huge issue in English soccer as one of the theories for England's mediocrity in competitions is because of the EPL and Chelsea's best players mysteriously got "injured" before EuroCup qualifying a month or so ago.

It's kind of a chicken or the egg thing but the theory here is that if we develop just enough soccer players who turn into stars, it'll make the sport popular enough that a real soccer culture takes over and you see that happening more and more. I also think you see that soccer culture in immigrant neighborhoods,…

He had the ball when he leapt and he had the ball when he landed. Thus the announcers, Strahan and the Washington football team WR's going nuts. That's nothing but a ticky tack call that reminds people why the league is can called the No Fun League

other places I've read said that Lena describes him in ways to make it sound like it's one person in particular- someone who was well known at Oberlin, so it doesn't quite come off as an innocent mistake as much as a really irresponsible, dumb one. The man in question has every reason to be upset and threaten to sue

I like to imagine the NFLPA doing nothing but sitting around the office waiting for somebody to call them about something football related and getting disappointed when the call is only a telemarketer.
