NFL 2021 Season

[dal4018]

I was listening to WFAN (NY)SPORTS RADIO last night and Steve Sommers was on the air talking about the Jets QB Mike White saying that if the defeat the Colts this evening the local media will have headlines saying WHITE SUPREMACY tomorrow.I asked him about that last night he said its a joke.

A little late night "schmoozing"? I thought he left the station? I read an article a week or so ago that said he was leaving.

He said he will sign off in two weeks.

Mac Jones is a dirty player. Just check out THIS video. It's as bad as anything Ndomokung Suh ever got suspended for, but Jones will be fined at worst. SMH....

Turns the ball over and in the heat of the moment grabs an opponents ankle to 1) maliciously twist it and cause injury or 2) to prevent him from getting to the ball or help advance it?

Did Mac Jones twist the ankle or did the Panther's player twist it trying to pull it free?

What Jones did was wrong and he should be punished but it's nowhere close to the crap that Suh has pulled.

I didn't think it was bad at all - he was just trying to stop the guy and was holding him. Dude doesn't twist the ankle if he doesn't turn the way he did. Much ado about nothing here, and I don't like the Pats at all.

Agreed. He should have been called for a holding penalty (blame the refs for that) but he did not twist the ankle.

The Redskins sign a new kicker, Chris Blewitt. The headlines just write themselves.

The headlines do in fact write themselves. Redskins release place kicker today. BLEWITT BLEW IT!

[SuperHornet]

While that's the obvious headline, and there may well be some justification for it, one article is saying that his replacement was brought in because of his previous relationship with HC Ron Rivera at Carolina.

Cowboys K Greg Zuerlein has been placed on the Reserve/COVID list. It's unclear if he'll be cleared in time for Sunday. This is a MAJOR issue because the Cowboys have NOT as yet identified an alternative option.

Carli Lloyd, anyone?

Sarah Fuller transferred to North Texas, so she's right there.

True, but I believe that she has one more season of eligibility, which she's using with UNT's soccer team....

Kamala Harris. She’s good at kicking the can down the road.

She would muff the punt.

I just heard that she's got the lowest Veep approval rating in history. I didn't know that was even a thing. It doesn't surprise me, though. She's an embarrassment to our state....

[89Hen]

the lowest Veep approval rating in history. I didn't know that was even a thing.

I'm with you there Horney. I'm not sure I've ever seen a VP rating, or cared to. Their job is to not die.

You can add Game #17 to Tom Brady's Whine List.

Actually, as much as I can't stand him, I actually agree with Brady on this one. This is one more example of a Goodell overreach. I'd actually like to cut the season down some. Like split the League up into four geographically separated 8-team leagues with an 11-game season, like college (8 league games in a round robin and 3 OOC games). No preseason; the OOC season would function as the preseason. The four League champs plus four wild cards. They can either combine the directional divisions from each conference (i.e. blend AFC West and NFC West), or split each conference in half (blend NFC West and NFC North, and NFC East and NFC South). League champs would be based on in-league record, and playoff seeding done by a selection committee based on overall record and a selection of power polls. Shortening the season would lighten the injury load, and (I think) make the season much more interesting. At the same time, drop regular season OT and accept the tie, restoring the full 15-minute OT period to the playoffs, with the proviso that sudden death doesn't start until both teams have had the ball (thereby eliminating the bogus proviso that a safety can end the game, but a FG can't).

Call it SH craziness if you will. But I think a 17-game season is WAY too much....

[SuperHornet]

Not sure where I heard it this morning, but I could swear I'd heard that Rodgers had been fined $300K for his COVID violations. Turns out that the League actually fined the PACKERS $300K, and Rodgers was only fined $15K.

SMH....

[SuperHornet]

This is absolutely cray-cray. NFL waterboys are apparently paid a MINIMUM of $53K/year, and get more with experience.

Why is it Goodell overreach? The owners wanted it and the players approved it as part of the latest CBA.

The owners put enough incentives in there to get a majority of the players to approve:
- increased minimum salaries
- increased roster and practice squad size
- less full contact practice
- shorter preseason

The increased salaries and rosters are good for players who aren't superstars, which is the majority of the players.

He’ll never play another down in the NFL. Book it.

If I’m wrong, 89Hen can put that in his siggy.

He hasn't wanted to play another down in the NFL for several years now. It would hurt his brand if he came back and wasn't good. And considering he played best when he ran an offense that was only run by a coach who now plies his trade in Ann Arbor, the odds of him not being good would be pretty high. He's a social activist (good for him), not a quarterback.

Rams got smoked last night!!!!!

[SuperHornet]

Jason Garrett is on the outs once again...just got fired as Giants OC. Sounds like a way for a HC to look like he's "doing something" to keep his job. I'd say that the blame lies more with the GM in terms of getting decent players, but that said, anticipated replacement Freddie Kitchens is probably a better choice. That said, the author mentions nebulous "college opportunities" that may open to Garrett. I hope that doesn't include Sac State....

Incidentally, Dez Bryant is throwing shade Garrett's way....
