forrest-coleSuch an awesome game I had a feeling we were gonna comeback just can't believe we didn't finish it off. And honestly fuck those refs, some of the dumbest calls ever. 3rd and 1 there's a blatant offsides that would give us the 1st and instead the ref picks up the flag. Fuck that and fuck a lot of alcohol I'm straight up dying still...
Aidan-GDan Fouts is the worst
gRAPEFRUITHe took so many hits besides that cheap one and just kept on going.
DeebieSkeebiesI think ESPN is a company of cowards for suspending Bill Simmons. Regardless of your stance on the dude, you can't sit there and allow people to get in trouble for what their job entails. The dudes supposed to have opinions about controversial sports topics. ESPN's whole "We're unbiased in this situation" shit is a fucking lie. It really wasn't even that bad of a rant. Its just clear to me they suspended him because his rant didn't fit their goodell cocksucking agenda. Fuck them.
hey-dude-its-me^hopefully he wasnt just making empty threats but it seems like thats the case at this point
WoldsWorldIm not surprised knowing ESPN's sketchy reputation with how they do business behind closed doors. It was his own fucking podcast though so its not like it was on a show run by ESPN. I honestly don't get it though, It should be illegal for a company to dictate what their employee's can or can't say while their not on the job. There are a lot of big corporations that aren't in the media that do the same thing to their employee's as well. I have a HUGE problem with that! It's almost like a form of communists corporatism because these companies are essentially controlling their employee's lives while their not at work and off the clock. I get that he's representing ESPN and that he's one of their public figures, but that still doesn't mean that he shouldn't be allowed to freely express himself. I'd imagine that'd it'd be illegal for a company to punish an employee for something they said while they were "off the clock." If that's not illegal than it sure as hell should be because it's a violation of the first amendment. If you're off the clock than you aren't getting paid, therefore you should be able to say what ever the hell you want, period. If they have a problem with that than should have to pay you to keep your mouth shut outside the job. Otherwise they should have no fucking control of your mouth and what comes out of it.
What pisses me off even more is the double-standard they have at ESPN. How they think it's perfectly acceptable to have some thug rapper who makes a living off of promoting violence, sex, and drugs, make appearances on a show like First-Take is beyond me. Especially since the shit thats publicly come out of their mouths is 100X worse than what Bill Simmons said. I can't help but feel that Goodell played a role in Simmons suspension. All he cares about is his image and he obviously felt that it was being damaged when a member of the national media is explicitly mouthing off about how incompetent he is.
Personally I think Bill Simmons is a jackass when it comes to his analysts and commentaries, but I fully support him when it comes to speaking his mind about the douche bag Goodell. He clearly deserves the criticism for being a dumb ass in making player disciplinary decisions. His obsession with protecting his image is clearly his number one priority even. He doesn't give a fuck about the fact that Ray Rice's wife got knocked out or that his league is full of meat headed retards. If he really cared than he would of publicly taken a much tougher stance against these dumb ass players. That would of sent a clear message to the public that domestic violence will not be tolerated no matter what. Instead he'd rather cover it all up and make these situations seem as minor as possible to protect the leagues sponsorships and revenues. Its a fucking joke watching him try and repair his image by trying to convince everyone that he's serious about domestic violence now that all of his tactics have backfired of him. He's not fooling anyone though because anyone with half a brain can clearly see that his priorities in protecting his image and the leagues revenues haven't changed.
DeebieSkeebiesI agree, I hope more people are realizing that this whole "We care" face the NFL has been putting on in the last couple of weeks has been a complete crock of shit. Don't get me wrong, knocking your girlfriend out is fucked, but like you said, if the league actually cared, they would take action. Just so typical they decide to "take action" when their asses are in the hot seat.
.Hugo.i know there was a holding penalty on the play but wholey fuck rodgers that was amazing
-emile-JJ Watt
Kekambas.Always assumed he was a good guy, never realized he was kind of a douche.
With that said, he had a hell of a game, rookie couldn't handle him at all. Didn't appreciate the basically back to back low hits on Manuel though.
DeebieSkeebiesim not cool if the league fines geno for going off on lions fans at the end of the game. its funny, but the dude shouldn't receive any sort of other punishment. they hit a nerve and he got mad, it happens to all of us.
good to hear lions fans are ballsy enough to raise hell in hostile environments, though lol
DeebieSkeebiesare the pats taking a game off or something? this is an asswhooping.
Kekambas.So Arrowhead is the loudest? but....there's no 12th man
also....Hali is a "sack master?" teehee

skier_boy26Considering that decibels are logarithmic and they shattered their own previous record gives me doubts about the validity... but whatever, they have 10,000 more people in there and they can barely beat the record.
Plus Arrowhead is in a big ass parking lot. To hell with those types of stadiums.
On another note, all the national Brady-lovers must be ready to jump from the bridge.
hey-dude-its-melol shut the fuck up loser
skier_boy269-0
2-6
If that's winning, I want no part of it.
AT-ATSince when is going to your knees a penalty? I thought Goddell liked his players on their knees?
