What about the Vikes losing their starting QB (who was playing great) and probably ROY RB? Total castoffs for replacements and they're rolling right along at 7-2. But they have a real coach, too.

:lol :facepalm Holy shit

Props for the Pozderac/Petitti/"Mother" Tucker references :lol

Okay, but why are they okay with him? They're rich guys, they're not in the business of throwing away good money on people who aren't especially good at their jobs. (Please don't say it's a conspiracy so Mara can rule the league or whatever.) Also, again, these are all wildly successful men...

Why are the other owners okay with paying him that much? I can't even comprehend it. He's not even good at his job.

Um, is that for real? Training for football in France? Why? I seriously doubt he'll do much training anyway. Maybe he figures he can party all he wants there without Goodell knowing?

I hope nobody thinks Jerry's threatened lawsuit has anything to do with principle. He didn't do this with Brady's suspension, and he'd secretly be cheering if this were happening to Carson Wentz. This is 100% because Goodell did this to one of the best players on Jerry's team, someone who...

Dallas. Falcons are in a tailspin, and our backup RBs are good enough to win with.

Nike pitches this ridiculous crap and it's up to the league to say no. Like some of these college teams, they buy right in to whatever Nike sells them.

And don't forget that the team KNEW he was wheels off when they drafted him. But just like always with a talented player, Jerry couldn't resist and had to roll those dice.

:lol

I almost bet ownership lets him stay all year just to tank and get their next QB. Not as good a chance if you fire him, improve, and pick in that 8-12 range.

I hate Goodell as much as anyone but this is a terrible move as far as I'm concerned. Feels like Jerry has tried to convince other owners behind the scenes to vote his way and when it didn't work, he threw this nuclear tantrum. Suing the league isn't the worst thing but suing other owners...

Exactly

You know, when TO thought he wasn't getting the ball enough and complained about Romo and Witten basically drawing up their own plays... it was ridiculous. Almost certainly what got TO released the next year.

Deion has hated Romo back to the TO-Witten feud days which unfortunately developed racial undertones.

I'm liking Belichick more and more.

That sounds great to me. Get a real football man in there instead of someone who seems concerned with everything else.

Ha, no doubt... but I wonder when that really happened. Maybe it's always happened and great cameras, HD, super-slow-mo, etc. have just made it more obvious, but it seems to me it's become rampant the last 5-6 years or so.

Hmm, interesting. I never remember it being taught by anyone when I was a kid but maybe that was coincidence. I know I'm always surprised at how often it happens in the NFL. It really is multiple players on every single play.
