To add to that theory, Kaep lost a ton of weight in the offseason due to his shoulder injury, and probably wasn’t really ready to get knocked around by those top defenses yet.

Who cares? Goodell now has the right to punish anyone for anything whether he catches them or not.

You’re not exactly setting a high bar, Trolly McTrollerson.

Clearly, you don’t grasp the level of pure grit in Danny Woodhead (which is obviously vital to success in FF).

You think people on the east coast were staying up after the first game? For this matchup?

I was actually being sarcastic with that point, obviously wasn’t clear.

I’m thinking he’ll eventually figure out (for himself) that some people are racist and some of those are armed police officers.

Thank god you’re here to provide such a reasonable point of view.

That’s the point, they were no longer capable of playing on an island so their weaknesses had to be hidden. I’m not burying Revis (anyone can have a bad day, or even a rough patch) but when those whispers start and then he gets toasted a few times, it’s not a stretch to think he’s just may not “the guy” any more.

Remember that week in about 2010 (total guess) where there were a ton really egregious helmet to helmet hits. I remember Brandon Meriwether brutally and unnecessarily launching at Todd Heap’s head. Goodell went nuts with the fines and suspensions so I thought “ok, this is the new NFL, they are going to really…

You’re both correct. He said it doesn’t generate revenue and it never will, which I would agree with. However, you’re right that it could impact the perception and therefore revenue (although it doesn’t seem to have held them back so far).

Sure, because stock prices are 100% determined by bravery. 

Redundant redundancy is redundant.

Having watched most of the swimming on the BBC, swimming commentators don’t pull their punches. I’m not remotely surprised to hear that they are even harsher off mic.

Ir’s not lupus... it’s never lupus.

To be fair, she was asked about Gatlin and stuck to her position. I believe the British team has (or at least had) a rule giving dopers a lifetime ban from Olympic teams so it has been done before.

Not with the BBC.

Both the BBC and CBC have four hour shows dedicated to the ceremony so I would think both have the full thing. Always worth noting that BBC has no commercials.
