2016 NFL Week #2: Dallas Cowboys (0-1) @ Washington Redskins (0-1)

[Midswat]

Random but idgaf.... some Eagles players are going to protest the national anthem this weekend. And apparently this is a big thing in a lot of high schools across the country. Fuck you kaepernick for making this lazy, completely ineffective gesture a thing. Nothing will be accomplished through all of this. Nor should it be. The entire 'cause' is bullshit. Dear media, stop giving this attention.

No kidding. The Ticket was talking about a team of 11 year olds all kneeling recently. Absurd.

Kaepernick may completely mean well, I don't know, but it sure feels like a publicity/popularity stunt at this point.

we're saved!

Mickey must be in charge of Cowboys twitter today.

Colin fucking Kaepernick of all people. I'd give the movement a little more respect if it were led by say Adrian Peterson or something.

Apparently a couple police Unions are trying to boycott giving security for a couple NFL teams on gameday.

Btw, not to hijack the thread, but has there not been a year gone by in the last 20 where blacks haven't been bitching and moaning about something?

My problems with this whole National Anthem thing are multi-fold.

1) The NFL is not even handed. They allow any and all left wing gripes, but clamp down with threats of fines for any display that is pro American or right of center such as honoring slain police with a modest sticker or special cleats.

2) The NFL should be an escape from the ever encroaching bullshit of leftist "in your face" politics which are often insane on their "merits", or based completely upon total bullshit. The NFL will lose audience (as it already has based upon week 1 numbers) if they do not get the politics out of the sport.

3) Most ordinary people would lose their jobs pulling "look at me" stunts on company time.

4) None of these spoiled brat assholes has volunteered to donate the vast majority of their salaries to those they claim to be standing up for. Let them live on a modest self imposed salary of say 50K a year while continuing to play in the NFL. All the rest of their salary should then be handed out in the ghetto. Funny how that isn't happening at all thus putting the lie to their cause. This is just about attention seeking in the era of the grievance industry.

^^^ That's the kind of fucked up pro leftist double standard I'm talking about. Leftist convergence leads to lower ratings, lost sales, less enjoyment, and poorer quality. Every industry that gets converged experiences this without fail.

Romo fan boys at the zone feeling their oats again doing the count down til a possible early return. ! Talking up his 2014 performance and completely over looking he played like shit last year, and the fact that 2 years for a brittle 36 Y/O QB is an eternity ago. Meanwhile the gear factory over by the airport keeps humming. Jerry has to love these fans cuz most of are deaf, dumb and blind.

Norman won't cover Dez

Despite getting burned repeatedly against Antonio Brown last week, Bashaud Breeland -- not Josh Norman -- will be covering Cowboys star Dez Bryant more often than not Sunday

 

[Midswat]

Garrett played catch with Dez in the pregame and then gave him a big afterwards.

No wonder our players don't respect this schmuck.

 

[Scot]

First shot at Dez and Normans beats him

Get used to it guys

He's here all day!

You were saying? ))

They need to run Alfred

 

[Sheik]

Elliot is useless.

 

[Sheik]

I told you Mfers that the Elliot pick was a dumb pick.

 

[Bushmaster78FS]

Field goal coming ???
