It’s not a “good no call.” It's a rule, albeit dumb. The refs get paid to call by the rules.

I’ve known you weren’t allowed to bat a fumbled ball out of play like that since my PAL days(20 years ago). I’m shocked the NFL players didn’t know the rule.
I fucking love that Justine Sacco is Fan Duel’s director of communications. How perfect.
In hindsight, “PlausibleDeniability” did seem like a really weird promo code.
He’s been so exciting to watch these first three weeks, even in the short time he played Saturday he had about five plays that were McNabb-esque (minus the puking and dumb Twitter). This hit was brutal and completely uneccessary. Here’s the picture of him releasing the ball, for those who think the hit wasn’t that…
It depends on how and what you play too. If you want to take down the top prizes in the large tourneys with the huge payouts, you are definitely going to be competing against folks who do this for a living, and accounts that are essentially professional betting syndicates, using very advanced, proprietary modeling…
They did a segment on HBO Real Sports about a year ago. It seems like the founders know that this isn’t forever, and they are going to make a mint right now before it eventually gets shut down. I can’t imagine that it’s going to decrease in size by any means since there are soooo many people that don’t even realize…
I’ve tried to explain to my friends that the only way to actually win with this website is to start with a large bankroll (10k) and play hundreds of $5-10 games a week. Then you need to set up a system that will generate lineups for you based on the site’s salary cap and generate a “points per dollar” value of a…
football is becoming such a parody of itself. 1 game in and I’m already exhausted with this sport.
I’m fine with Eli’s rings. In fact I think Bill let the Giants win those games simply so Eli would have more rings than big brother, and get to show them off every year at holidays.
not-so-subtle shot at the NFL
Arthur Blank is, arguably, the most successful businessman in the NFL. For that reason (and naturally because of his intelligence) he has risen to prominence among NFL owners despite his relatively short tenure. I think it’s no coincidence that he felt comfortable voicing these concerns to the media.
The report from Schefter stated that they were suspended at the "request" of the league. So the league can't force the Patriots hand, but when this happened initially Robert Kraft took the fine and loss of picks and rolled over for the NFL initially. Why is it hard to believe that when the league "requested" they be…
The NFL requested they be suspended
Yup, more than a few players mentioned it was like playing on concrete and it’s been heavily rumored that the league threatened to fine them if they publicly called it out.
Now playing
A game that probably should not have been played, really.
Just a side note, the Bears bounced Favre’s head off the frozen TCF Stadium turf to end his career, not the Metrodome. I may or may not watch the replay of this incident when I’m in need of a pick-me-up.
Plus, he doesn’t have any murderous progeny, which is nice.
