The old logo looked like PowerPoint clip art. This logo isn't perfect, but it's a major improvement.

You're treating the NFL as if it's a syndicate of villains in a bad young adult dystopian novel, casually smoking cigars while not caring what happens to them. That's not how business work in real life. This may not seem much to you or me, but to the NFL their sponsors are a cornerstone of their business model. The…

I think the NFL once thought that this would blow over back when they issued the two game suspension to Ray Rice. I highly doubt they think this will just blow over anymore (same thing with the Vikings when they reinstated Peterson and then suspended him again after the backlash). If they thought it would blow over,…

Uh, why would the NFL say that? They clearly want to protect their brand image. That's like... the whole thing about them now. I know it sucks being sold to all the time, but what would be the NFL's motivation for allowing a prominent company to publicly criticize them? Think about that for a moment.

And I'm sure that even though their business with each other will undoubtedly continue, the NFL is none too pleased about having to allow one of their sponsors to openly criticize them. Yes, this is all just business, but business is all these people understand. PepsiCo may have called them up and said, "Hey, we're…

Just to be clear, are you criticizing them for making the statement, or for their lack of action beyond the statement? I'd imagine that even without withdrawing their sponsorship, the NFL can't be too pleased about PepsiCo openly criticizing them. They're both businesses. Obviously neither of them really wants to…

At this point I'm going to have to ask: How many NFL running backs do not have any allegations of domestic violence?

So he sits half a game for yelling "fuck her right in the pussy" and gets away scot-free for actually doing it. PRIORITIES.

Holy fuck that is the most self-serving Bible quote I've ever seen (is that a Bible quote or was that just made up? That doesn't seem like anything from any Bible I've read). Perhaps Peterson should read "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God" instead.

Why is she so mad that a song was pulled before coverage of a serious news story? I mean, it's followed by a football game, but that wasn't particularly "fun" coverage of a game.

He was also one of the biggest supporters of bringing back Michael Vick. The guy is a complete shithead and should not be on television.

Thank goodness Michael Sam is not playing in the NFL this year. What a distraction he would have been.

Yes, but in a very typically spectacular way. I almost think to myself, "Oh, that Calvin Johnson! Still doing his Calvin Johnson things."

Okay, people keep telling me that Jordy Nelson did something yesterday against the Jets. I don't remember his performance, and I don't remember anyone talking about it today until some Packers fans told me about it just now. I highly doubt it's being talked about like Peyton Manning's start to the season last year…

Good point, though I'd still argue that waiting a few days would have at least given the impression (to some... like maybe Stephen A. Smith or someone like that) that they were re-instating him for reasons besides their desire to win a football game.

Boy, this is one exciting NFL season so far.

The best time to drop that kind of news would be on a Friday, no? No one pays attention to the news on Friday evenings.

You'd think they'd at least wait a few days after losing 30-7 to reinstate him. Making this move the very next day after such a huge loss plainly telegraphs their intentions. I mean, they could have said this on Tuesday or Wednesday or something and it would have at least looked a little less obvious than it does now.

I don't know for sure. He had a house in Miami.
