That kicker was inches from getting cut on Tuesday.

Re: 2012 NFL Season
It's $100k for a real official. If it's pro-rated for grabbing a scab, it probably shouldn't hurt him too much.
The best way I've heard it summed up is this: The NFL makes a couple billion dollars per year. What could the officials possibly be asking for that justifies them trotting out high school geometry teachers to officiate their games?
That said, that kick was definitely good.

I'm free on Sundays, I'm thinking of sending in an application the NFL. Obviously the standards aren't high.

Say, this is nice.
They've been screwing up EVERY game from EVERY team. It's comical.

Re: 2012 NFL Season
The problem with that is when it "hits the upright" why way does it bounce? Some balls bounce off the upright, and fall good.

Yep, still here
Re: 2012 NFL Season
Are the ratings down? Are people choosing not to buy tickets and do other things on Sundays? No? Then nothing changes.
Why anyone thinks "embarrassment" is going to stop a multi-billion dollar corporation from doing whatever the hell they want because it's football instead of a oil company or whatever is beyond me.

Re: 2012 NFL Season
Repeat after me: "Follow. The. Dollar."
People can complain all they want, as long as the NFL is making money, they don't care.

They are gonna get even more mention thanks to these repeated trainwrecks... Truly a "The only bad publicity is no publicity" mentality.... But it works...
