NFL 2016-17 II: Playoffs, Super Bowl, and Offseason

Re: NFL 2016-17 II: Playoffs, Super Bowl, and Offseason

Medication time.

A string of emails that began in 2010 with the Atlanta Falcons head trainer and reached all the way to owner Arthur Blank showed a franchise worried about its ''excessive'' reliance on painkillers to treat players and the potential embarrassment that could cause the team and the NFL.

One topic raised in the email chain concerned the review by an outside agency that found the team spent $81,000 on prescriptions for medications for players in 2009—nearly three times the league average.

The Raiders serve a good purpose, they're ever present thorn in the side of a what is an otherwise soulless beast.

The NFL has scrubbed references to President Trump and Commissioner Roger Goodell from official transcripts of Super Bowl week interviews — while booting a pro-Patriots blog from taking part in any media events in Houston — as the league bends over backwards to protect the shield in the run-up to the big game.

“This is just a continuation of Roger Goodell controlling the narrative,” said Dave Portnoy, founder of sports and satire site Barstool Sports, which is banned by the National Football League from Super Bowl press activities. “He doesn’t want people who have a strong opposing view to have a voice here.”

Cue the poutrage.

Football's dying and the nerds are getting all the trim. Oh to be young again. :-)

One nice thing about living here where the NFL has almost no exposure, I never watch ESPN and the sports channels here don't talk about it at all, is that I don't have anything preventing me from simply waking up Monday a.m. to watch the game without influence. The NFL is what it is but in the end it is just a football game. I'm spared the hype (don't even get to see the commercials during the broadcast) and am left with nothing more than the game.

I don't have cable or satellite TV, so I'm not seeing much of the hype either, just a little during morning radio. It's been nice these last couple years. Someone actually had to remind me that the game happens this weekend.

49ers see a guy ruin RG3 and blow a Super Bowl and are all "I gotta get me summa that!".

More like they already made the offer and are now like "Sh !t, any way we can back out of this and not have to pay the guy?" :D

Shanahan has his issues, but I'm struck by Quinn's failures as well. Thought there was way to much showboating going on by the Falcons with the game only half over. Reminded me a lot of Seattle, where he came from, acting like the game was over when they went up by 10 on the Pats. I'm also questioning his substitutions because after going balls to the wall for the 1st half the team seemed totally tanked mid way through the 3rd quarter. I've seen teams give up when losing big (SD, Buffalo) in the SB but have never seen a team with a big lead completely exhausted with 1 1/2 quarters to go and offering no resistance up and down the field.

My only surprise is the Skins didn't try to get him back.

BTW, in these photos RG3 looks like Treach. Treach is 46.

Best of luck to Blair Walsh, but that's a questionable move with the way Walsh kicked this past season.

To be fair, Seattle is 1-0 in the playoffs against the Vikings during the Blair Walsh era thanks to Blair Walsh.
