A linesman is not the match referee. Repeat after me: a linesman is NOT the match referee. A linesman’s flag represents a suggestion to the match official, which the match official may or may not concur with. Sometimes a linesman will signal a throw-in direction, but the referee will countermand it. Sometimes the…

When the line judge raised his flag to call Kane offside, that should’ve been the end of the play.

“Fuck Mike Klis”

It makes plenty of sense. The industry of football is different from other industries in that its success is at least partially predicated on competitive equality. If Cold Stone drives Baskin Robbins and Swensen’s out of business, the ice cream industry remains. But if a few dominant sports teams consolidate talent…

American professional sports, in general, are is broken and hilariously favors management over labor.

It’s called a collective bargaining agreement and they’re pretty common.

Lawrence looks like he should play “Pink” Floyd in the “Dazed and Confused” reboot.

There better be a Bama exposed article tomorrow. The only take hotter than ND should not have been in the playoffs is that this proves the playoff need to be expanded yet again. Because what was obviously needed was Clemson blowing out Michigan.  

Clemson beats Bama by 28. Beat ND by 27.  By the logic spewed on here lately we can all agree Alabama is irrelevant and never should have been in a major bowl game.

Yeah, he’s big on fakes where the holder runs straight up the middle on 4th and 6 and gets pancaked like a marcher on the Edmund Pettus Bridge (just to help drive the point home for Alabamans, like a billy club to the body of a marcher on the Edmund Pettus Bridge).

Waiting for the “Clemson exposes Alabama for the Frauds they are” post

There’s a difference between acknowledging that they all agreed to something ridiculous and deciding that their agreement dictates reality.

I...Jim Brown never played for that Franchise. Existing in the same city does not make it the same franchise. 

Nah, I’m pretty good with my surprisingly controversial “The NFL doesn’t get to unilaterally decide how history works” position. 

You, still you. If I murder someone and then strike an agreement with my neighbour that he actually did it that doesn’t alter history. I can’t point to my after the fact agreement as being more important than reality. 

The rightful owner of that Franchise’s history is that Franchise. The team playing in Cleveland right now is not the same Franchise as the one that played there until the mid 90's.

No. If that’s the case than Manning is the best QB in Colts franchise history. Because that’s how franchises work. 

Yeah, that’s just not really how history works though. 

I’m pretty sure you can’t just erase the franchise’s history by declaring it so but sure. 

I don’t want to be that guy(actually, I do, being that guy is fun) but the franchise history includes Otto Graham and Bernie Kosar regardless of what the NFL says.
