    So, the team I root for is garbage, but at least they aren't the growing dumpster fire that is the Giants.



    Giants Twitter: Coach McAdoo: DRC came in today and decided to leave. We will suspend him.
    Mike Garafolo: Giants demoted CB Eli Apple for DRC Sunday. Apple wasn't happy and basically said he was a scapegoat. Now DRC leaves the building today.
    Mike Garafolo: Landon Collins said it was something between DRC and McAdoo that he believes stemmed from Sunday. He even called it an "altercation."

    I dunno. I think it's McAdoo about nothing.

    Recycled jokes are the best jokes, right?

    The woman who was on the recieving end of the cocaine snorting video outed the coach because of equality. This is amazing.

    She admitted previously that she released the video because he stopped paying her. She's a hooker who admits she was planning on blackmailing him anyway well before the kneeling thing. I mean sure OL coach gets his comeuppance but she wasn't doing this to expose inequities in the system. Invoking racial injustice doesn't mean she's not a garbage person too

    I'm just going by what she was quoted as saying in the article. If there's something else out there where she states that she was blackmailing him, please share it.

    People can have multiple reasons for doing what they do. Even if she says she was originally going to blackmail him, in the end that isn't what she did. She ended up going with "fuck the blackmail. This is for equality."

    In the end, she did this for the right reasons and for equality. Don't shame her because of the lifestyle she lives and downplay her actions.

    Its not the right reasons though. What double standard did she shine light on? The fact that if your employers dont know about your drug use, they won't fire you?

    http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/20990443/dallas-cowboys-coaches-players-hold-meeting-national-anthem-comments-jerry-jones

    What a load of bullshit.

    FRISCO, Texas -- Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, in a meeting Wednesday with players and coaches, said his stance on the national anthem protests was rooted in a desire to play the bad guy and deflect attention from the players, according to a source.

    In the meeting, Jones sought to ensure players also saw the bigger picture regarding the business side of the situation, including concerns over TV ratings and sponsors, the source said.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

  • GyralGyral Registered User regular
    Sorry, Jerry, but the role of racist, rich old white dude in a position of power who thinks he's playing the tough guy has already been filled.

    25t9pjnmqicf.jpg
  • Santa ClaustrophobiaSanta Claustrophobia Ho Ho Ho Disconnecting from Xbox LIVERegistered User regular
    Yes. Because the players need to be concerned about the ratings. And the owner's profit margins.




    Oh, and Jerrah? Demanding that they stand for the anthem or you'll suspend them kind of doesn't deflect attention from anybody. It rather topspins the ball right back at them.

    "Rich white man would prefer his indentured servants abide by things that make him the most money."

    Honestly this moment is on everyone who isn't a racist scumbag, if you keep watching the NFL and providing monetary support then you prove them correct. Racists and white supremacists care more about having their opinions felt than everyone else.

    Maybe someone can help me understand the broadcast rules, CBS isn't showing an early game due to "NO GAME due to local team at home on FOX". What does that even mean? In Michigan we always seemed to have a game on CBS and FOX even if the Lions were on Fox. Here in DC it seems we don't get a CBS game if Washington is playing at home?

  • enlightenedbumenlightenedbum Registered User regular
    I don't know exactly, but it's something like:

    The two networks alternate double header weekends. If your local team is on the network without the double header and at home, they knock out the game at the same time on the double header network to discourage you from staying home and watching both games because they want you to pay all of the moneys to go to the game. This will only happen about 4 times a year, which is why it usually feels like there are games opposite the local team games.

    It's dumb and silly but it's something like that.

    Please tell me if I'm wrong but I'm fairly certain that O-Line coaches aren't making $1M+. Just like the league median for players is on the order of $400k (fairly arbitrary number on my part) but, you know, they're ALL millionaires.....

    Also, in case it isn't clear yet, ESPN is the sports incarnation that Disney will do everything in its power to avoid any and all conflict or controversy. There are way too many "OMG DISTRACT MY KIDS PLEASE!" dollars to be had.

  • Santa ClaustrophobiaSanta Claustrophobia Ho Ho Ho Disconnecting from Xbox LIVERegistered User regular
    Not necessarily. Disney is mostly looking for homogeny. And if that ends up family friendly then so be it.

    heehee, Roger Goodell's wife was all "DONT YOU BE MEAN TO MY HUSBAND" on Twitter, with an anonymous account, per the WSJ.
    When National Football League Commissioner Roger Goodell is under attack, as he so often is these days, @forargument is there to fight back.

    Wait, who?

    The Twitter account, under the name “Jones smith,” has no followers, no profile picture and has been virtually dormant for long periods since its creation in 2014.

    But @forargument has roared to life in the past few months, rising up to vigorously defend Mr. Goodell against perceived attacks on his handling of issues such as the national anthem protests by players.

    The most frequent sparring partner for @forargument is the nation’s sports media. On Sept. 26, @ProFootballTalk, the Twitter account for the popular NBC Sports blog, tweeted that it was “on the commissioner” to solve the anthem issues.

    In response, @forargument tweeted: “Please do better reporting. He is already doing this. You are behind.”

    Who is this valiant defender of a man who has so few defenders?

    It is Roger Goodell’s wife, Jane Skinner Goodell, The Wall Street Journal confirmed after an examination of the account.
