 That's the best Erin's looked during a Viking's game to me in a long time. ;) :smiley:  Especially, when they showed him on the bench after they'd had the ball a couple times in the 2nd half. :happy1: :cool: :laugh:

I watched the Broncos Seahawks game last night.  What a slug fest that was.  Seattle turned them back at the goal line and were pretty darn tough.  17-16 Seahawks.  Gino Smith did good.

TAMPA, FL — After her divorce with Tom Brady becomes finalized, supermodel Gisele Bundchen is expected to own three times as many Super Bowl rings as legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

"Gosh, that can't be right," said Ms. Bundchen. "I'm just a model, while he is supposedly one of the best quarterbacks ever. How could I possibly wind up with three times as many rings as Aaron Rodgers?? I'll have to call and ask Aaron again how many rings he has."

Despite only taking three of Mr. Brady's seven Super Bowl rings, Ms. Bundchen discovered from her phone call that she indeed had far surpassed the Green Bay hero. "Yes, Gisele, I really only have one ring. Yes, I know that's very surprising," said Mr. Rodgers grimly. "No, I really don't think I need to count my collection again. Thanks, Gisele."

The sports world has been reeling ever since news broke of Mr. Brady's divorce. "I guess Gisele was just looking for someone better-looking and more successful than Tom," said former teammate Rob Gronkowski. "Man, I just can't wait for Tom to officially be single. Tom is so kind, so generous, and you would not believe how fit he still is. His eyes still sparkle and - wait, what was I talking about?"

At publishing time, reporters spotted Gisele with her new boyfriend Steve, a middle-aged insurance salesman from Indiana.

That may be the "official" reason, but if she REALLY loved the guy and was committed to the marriage, she'd stick it out.  She'd be pissed, but I would think she would gut it out for one more year - even if he said last year was the last year and lied.

I think she was just ready to be done with the marriage and was ready to move on and we may never know her real motivation.  Sure, all the reasons she gave are part of it, but I doubt it was the biggest part.  That she is keeping to herself.

...Just my opinion.

I've always hated the notion that some things are not reviewable.  The point of replay is to review egregiously bad plays and get them right.  The fact that any call that changes the outcome of the game cannot be reviewed is bogus.

If the coach had a challenge left, let him throw the flag for roughing the passer.

Time for Packers to Consider Future as Aaron Rodgers Falters on TNF vs. Titans (https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10056031-time-for-packers-to-consider-future-as-aaron-rodgers-falters-on-tnf-vs-titans)

Whatever the reason, the Packers are left with a lot of uncertainty at quarterback.

Rodgers' contract is part of the problem. He'll have $99.8 million in dead money remaining on his deal after this season, so cutting him isn't an option. Trading him could prove extremely difficult, too, given his inconsistent play.

Either Erin figures out how to carry his team to the promised land with lower-paid skill players or they are screwed for the next several years.  Prolly the best outcome is for them to let Erin continue to degrade this season - AND the next two seasons as well - and rebuild with young drafted players.  After Erin's $50Mil / year salary comes off the books, they can bring in free agents to go along with what should be a strong, new, young nucleus.  Who knows, maybe this was their plan all along.   :confused:

Post by: Steve-o on November 11/18/22, 08:01:53 AM
Erin is another Hall of Famer who didn't know when to quit.  He could have gone out on top, but his pride and his competitive spirit wouldn't let him do it.

Trouble is (and unlike Brady), when Erin signed that $150M contract extension, he wasn't thinking about competing against the NFC North Division.  He was more worried about measuring weenies against the other elite-caliber, high-paid quarterbacks in the league.

Three years of sucking with the Packers will tarnish his legacy a bit - and who knows - he might catch lightning in a bottle for a game or two - but he'll be :rotflmao: all the way to the bank.

as I understand it that rule was made AFTER that coach got the whiskey ticket.

Since when is the NFL able to make rules on the fly it's  :bs: for individuals of age to consume. One would think the players assoc should be fighting this. Goodell has way way to much power.

Andy Reids kid killed a girl driving drunk after a practice. The NFL frowns on bad publicity unless of course it brings them money. Read up on the Washington scandal's including ownership. It got to the point they couldn't bury the story any longer so to save face they are convincing Dan Snyder to fall on the sword and sell the team. These guys (NFL owners) in many cases are one step above the mafia families.

I saw a report that the Pikers are working out a new QB.

Maybe Erin is more hurt than they are letting on.

Maybe they want to see what Jordan Love can do the rest of the season and still need an emergency QB to back him up.

Erin is saying all the right things about wanting to play to the bitter end, but the fact of the matter is, the Pac has another $100M tied up in Erin - no sense sending him out there to get killed in a lost season.  After all, more losses = better draft pics.  ;)

I'd like to hear what Rivera has to say about the penalty calling - or lack of it - in the last two minutes.  Commanders got jobbed.

Subterfuge.

The Eagles have two-game lead over the Vikings (plus the tie-breaker) with three games to play. 

The Eagles would have to lose all their remaining games (Cowboys, Eagles, Giants) AND the Vikings would need to win out (Giants, Packers, Bears) for the Eagles to NOT get the top play-off spot and first round bye.

They would be foolish to play Hurts.

I don't want to sound jaded, but...

I'm still trying to figure out how I feel about them postponing the game indefinitely - or certainly with no scheduled date or makeup proposal.  I'm assuming that since both teams have already clinched a play-off spot - rather than make them finish the game after such a traumatic injury and heart-felt response from both teams - they will probably let both teams play the last game of the season and hope that the outcome of the Bills/Bengals game would not have had much impact in the play-off seedings.

The one thing that struck me was the player's response:  immediate, fervent, and desperate prayer.   :angel:  The culture promulgated by Mainstream Media does everything in its power to convince us that there is no place for God or expression of religion or Heaven forbid*... public prayer - all in the name of separation of Church and State.   :evil:

This is ridiculous....If someone at your place of work tragically died, would everyone not work for 2 weeks??? Not even 1 week.... :thumbs: :thumbs:

If the Bills players don't want to play, they should just end the season and forfeit the last 2 games.

Not trying to be heartless here. But people have this kind of thing happen. Just not on National TV.

  :scratch: It's very tough situation for the league. The owners, NFLPA, the teams, the ticketholders, & the networks will all need to agree on what should happen. I'm not sure that they can figure that out without rescheduling the SB, & I don't believe they'll be willing to do that.  :rolleyes:

Yup. Just had a coworker that I know really well that passed away unexpectedly over Christmas. We didn't get 2 weeks off. Also had another coworker that crashed his airplane and died last summer up at the angle. No time off for that one either. Like Ken is thinking, they are cuddled a little ho much.

NFC wild card playoffs
AFC playoff bye week

Buffalo Bills vs. Cincinnati Bengals Canceled: What It Means for NFL Schedule (https://www.profootballnetwork.com/buffalo-bills-vs-cincinnati-bengals-canceled-what-it-means-for-nfl-schedule/)

The league is still deciding on what changes to the postseason are needed to achieve maximum competitive fairness following the extraordinary events of the last week.

By declaring Bills-Bengals a no contest — which the Associated Press first reported — the league guaranteed Cincinnati a home playoff game. The Bengals are AFC North champions, as the Ravens cannot catch them in the standings even with a win against Cincinnati in Week 18. The Bengals will be the AFC’s No. 2 or 3 seed. The Ravens will be the No. 5 or 6.

The league’s decision to cancel also means the Kansas City Chiefs can clinch the conference’s No. 1 seed with a win Saturday against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The AP reported Thursday that the league is still working through potential changes to playoff seedings and schedule, changes that must be approved by the NFLPA.

If the reporting from ESPN and ProFootballTalk is accurate, the league is really thinking outside of the box. Everything from adding an eighth team to the field to hosting the conference championship game on a neutral field (if the game involves two of the Bengals, Bills, and Chiefs) has been discussed.

I've always hated teams getting playoff byes - especially in football, where every game exacts it toll on the players.  That, to me, is way more of a competitive advantage than a home game, AND they get the home games to boot.

I think there should be 16 team teams in the playoff - 8 from each league so the brackets are even and everyone plays the same number of games.

But they won't to that because granting byes DOES give an advantage to the best teams, where the best teams have the best players, and the best players are the Super Stars - who end up having a better chance of playing in the Superbowl - which is the best for ratings.
Title: Re: NFL

as far as having the best players......not so sure about that............there where a few super bowl winners with backup QB's......Foles is one i can think of.......besides its a 53 man roster.........not all are going to be the stud super bowl MVP.

i guess i'm on my own out here but i still think working during the course of the season to have that best record to earn the bye.....or a better playoff seating....if for nothing else then getting a home game or 2 is worth it!!!!!

The owners have voted to approve changes to the existing rule for handling the aftermath of a canceled game.

25 owners voted in favor of the changes, with three or four voting no and the rest abstaining.

The new rule creates a potential neutral-site AFC Championship based on various factors, given the cancellation of Bills-Bengals. The new rule also determines home-field advantage for a Bengals-Ravens wild-card game by a coin flip, if the Ravens beat the Bengals on Sunday.

Josh Allen says Stefon Diggs is a fiery competitor and he wants the ball. Said the Bills have to figure out how to do it better as they look at things this offseason.

That’s not a bad plan. But Allen did try to get the ball to Diggs during the game. Allen struggled with the Bengals’ pass rush. The elements of snow didn’t seem to help matters. Diggs’ frustration is understandable, but he could have been a better teammate Sunday.

The Bengals were PO'D 3 weeks ago after their game with Buffalo was cancelled. Not that it was cancelled, but that they received the short end of the stick when the NFL decided to give Buffalo the home field yesterday.

If they had won that game, the game yesterday would have been in Cinn.

The most recent surge of attitude came from the league’s decision to announce on Friday, for no apparent reason, the fact that Bills and Chiefs fans had purchased 50,000 tickets to a neutral-site conference championship in only 24 hours.

The Bengals had a reason to be pissed off about it. And they clearly were. Quarterback Joe Burrow, in an on-field post-game interview, said to Tracy Wolfson of CBS, “Better send those refunds.”

They got after it big time. Good for them. I hope they win the Super Bowl.

They have lost 4 times just like the Vikes.....Go get em Bengals. My new favorite team after the Vikes.

A rumor mill concept I read yesterday.  We send Kirk to SF where he would be a plug and play addition to a great team.  We get unproven but possibly good Lance, 3 3rd round draft picks and one of their O lineman.  Not familiar with him.  I would take that chance.  We do have Josh Rosen as a backup still don't we?

Pretty sure Josh Rosen is Joe Johnson 2.0 & does SF want to give 3 thirds away when they already gave 3 #1's to get him? I don't see this one has having any chance. Niners have Purdy, Lance to battle for #1 job and can pick a scrap heap guy for #3 anytime. Any exactly why would they trade Cousins? Does anybody here think he won't sign another deal with the Vikings?   :confused:

They cut Rosen.  Vikings Part Ways With Former 1st-Round QB (https://heavy.com/sports/minnesota-vikings/josh-rosen-kirk-cousins-nfl-news/)  I think the Vikes would make that trade to rebuild the team, but I don't think SanFan would.  If I heard right, Purdy has a completely torn ligament in his elbow, which means Tommy John surgery and an 18 month recovery.  My guess is that SF will roll into next season with JimmyG and Lance and see who is healthy enough to be the starter.

Being a successful NFL head coach and being an A-List football analysis are two different things.  I suspect Peyton is better at one than than he is the other.  He doesn't have to impress millions of fans, just the 53 men in the locker room.

If Payton gets Wilson back on track it will work out well. Payton for all his faults does know offense. If he can't then the Bronco's paid a bunch of money to a guy who is done.  However rumor has it Walmart has a bit of dough so it won't break the Bronco's.

I guess I would too.  There isn't as much experience doing Tommy John surgery on QBs as there is on MLB pitchers.

Besides, the MLB contracts are fully guaranteed.  I've heard it said that a Tommy John-repaired tendon is stronger than the original for a pitcher.  Yeah, pitchers have to rehab for 16 to 18 month, but they are getting paid and the year off might even extend their career.

NFL QBs is another story - especially on a rookie contract.  If Purdy doesn't play his cards right, he could be out of the league with next to nothin - relatively speaking.  Things don't work out, the team will just cut him.
Title: Re: NFL
Post by: dutchboy on February 02/01/23, 04:18:33 PM
Unless they completely F up the surgery I think Purdy will be fine. He got some good reps on tape for other teams to see. You look at Bridgewater with his injury and Seattle's Smith with his lack of talent, there are some guys who make very good money being career backups.

Tom Brady says he’s retiring. And this time he says he’s not going to change his mind.

Tom Brady Announces He Is Permanently Retired And Also Open To Playing For Other Teams (https://babylonbee.com/news/tom-brady-announces-he-is-permanently-retired-and-also-open-to-playing-for-other-teams)

TAMPA, FL — A page turned on a legendary NFL career and opened the door to exciting possibilities for the future today, as Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady announced he is permanently retired and also open to fielding offers to play for other teams.

"I'm officially retired, for good this time," Brady said in a video statement released on social media. "My playing career in the NFL is absolutely over. Completely. Unless other teams are interested in me playing for them. Then I'd be willing to listen. But except for that, I'm so totally retired."

Brady finishes his 23-year playing career as arguably the greatest quarterback in the history of the league, having racked up numerous career, regular season, and postseason records, seven Super Bowl championships, 15 Pro Bowls, three NFL MVP awards, and one marriage and subsequent divorce with a supermodel. After briefly retiring for six weeks following the 2021 NFL season, Brady's latest retirement brings him one step closer to breaking Brett Favre's record for retirements from football.

"Tom has set the bar high for every player in so many ways," said full-time NFL quarterback and part-time Muppet Patrick Mahomes. "His statistics, his accolades, the number of records he holds, and the sheer number of people who absolutely hate him for his success and the way he looks is truly astounding. He's what we all want to be."

At publishing time, Brady was reportedly in talks with the Del Boca Vista Dragonslayers of the National Shuffleboard League, with a special contingency that he be released from his contract as soon as he returns to the NFL and signs with the Las Vegas Raiders.

With all the dirt flying around the NFL, one wonders how bad can it be?!

I don't know who Jason Whitock is, but here is his take - suggesting that Bieniemy isn't a strong leader personally, and why the African American culture in our country today doesn't produce strong male leaders.

Jason Whitlock: The real reason Eric Bieniemy isn’t an NFL head coach (https://usasports.news/jason-whitlock-the-real-reason-eric-bieniemy-isnt-an-nfl-head-coach/)

"... The media has spent all these years saying ‘OH, ERIC BIENIEMY, HE DESERVES A HEAD COACHING JOB!’ “HE’S THE GREATEST HEAD COACH!” “HE WILL BE OVERCOME BECAUSE HE IS BLACK!” “If the NFL wasn’t racist…” You been selling that nonsense forever while the Houston Texans were hiring Lovie Smith from the scrap heap? Hiring Dave Culley, a 40-year-old NFL assistant? The NFL has no problem hiring black head coaches. I don’t care what you hear on TV about how “racist” they are, race is not the issue, CULTURE is the issue. They’re putting all these men into this emasculated victim culture that’s been foisted on black people. That’s not how you make leaders, and that’s why black men are struggling to get NFL head coaching jobs. Because they have been forced into a culture that does not prepare them for leadership. THIS IS Eric Bieniemy’s problem. It ties into the conversation we’re going to have about The Woman King. Black people live in a matriarchal culture here in America. A matriarchal culture doesn’t produce quality black male leadership, period, end of story. We can either face that fact and correct it, or we can whine and cry and call everyone a racist and say, “OH, IT’S THE WHITE MAN’S FAULT…” It’s OUR fault for perpetuating and believing a matriarchal culture . If you keep on your knees and you’re a beta male and a coward, you’ll eventually get dropped from the script. This happened to Eric Bieniemy. Life knocked on its door and said, ‘Eric, we did our best, we tried to sell you for three years, we got all the media to say you’re the best coach in the world, then come on you get into those interview rooms and everyone finds out that you’re not made for leadership and they won’t give you the job. They literally tried to get rid of him this offseason and ended up signing him on another one-year deal. Now they are done. They gave him as much welfare as they can give him, no one would buy the counterfeit product, and now they’ve dropped him from the script.”

Time Magazine has the Woke Answer...

Title: Re: NFL
Post by: Steve-o on February 02/17/23, 08:57:24 AM
I think Jason Whitlock was trying to make two points.

1) Bieniemy isn't getting a job because NFL teams don't think he will make a good head coach.

2) The matriarchal nature of African American culture in America today produces a disproportionate amount of strong leaders.

First, none of us really know why Bieniemy isn't getting hired.  To speculate isn't fair.  If the premise that he isn't a good leader is close to the truth, it is still reckless to speculate it is because he is the product of a matriarchal subculture.  There are many of great African Americans who have incredible leadership qualities.  If I were a skilled athlete, I'd love to be coached by Mike Tomlin or Tony Dungy.

Second, Google how welfare has destroyed black families, specifically LBJs Great Society reforms.  (Really, do it!)  Basically, working poor families could not get welfare subsidies if the father was living in the home.  Raise several generations of children where a significant percentage of fathers are absent from the homes, what do you think you will get?  (Pretty much what we've got now with all the racial problems we are dealing with.)

So perhaps Whitlock's point was tied to his unspoken recognition or perception that fatherless homes implies a matriarchal culture, that is, the women are in charge of raising the kids.  Kids need both strong mothers AND fathers to give them the best change of growing up good and strong - especially boys.  Men without strong fathers need to get that masculine support somewhere, and all to often it is from association with criminal organizations.
