I don't know why they can't return to the old system where the players weren't on the field during the national anthem
it would really solve all the problems
but apparently they need to demonstrate that they own the players

considering is doing a whole lotta work in that statement

Or they could stop pretending they actually watch the anthem
seriously nobody watches the anthem, that's time for emptying your bladder and filling your plate before the game starts
Do they get just as upset when people are displaying the flag improperly (Stars on the right?). Or when their neighbors leave it out at night without lighting it? Lazy jingoists
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart.
In post 228, PJ. wrote:It's easier to pick at the part of the code he's mad about.
For instance, fans are not in uniform. Should the NFL shut down concessions and memoriabilia shops in the stadium 5 minutes before the anthem and open them after, to increase patriotism and make sure everyone is "facing the flag and standing at attention". What about bathrooms? Or is that only for fans of color that need to respect the flag? White guy getting pre-game nachos ok but black guy next to him's nachos are disrespecting the flag?
I'm also really curious if there is an exception for non-US citizens
Does Jay Ajayi have to do the anthem?
I guess beisbol does, but I'm p sure the guys from Canukistan in the NHL don't
i also wish we could talk about the flip side of this whole thing. Why does the anthem even need to be at sportsball events in the first place? When I go to the movies, or improv comedy, or the symphony, I don't have to do the anthem. The only other place I can think of is Woodstock. Doesn't the fact that the NFL and other leagues have co-opted the national anthem for their own national pride image cheapen it? What's next, athletes draped in the American flag being used to sell children's cereal?
And on the other hand, why are the same people complaining about government reaching into the lives and shoving things down their throats perfectly happy to have this forced display of allegiance pushed on them every time they want to relax with their favorite sports franchise? Shouldn't we be drowning it in the bath water and not signing its praises nearly every day of the year?

*league, which is barely real rugby
didn't that other rugby dude crash out of the league?
he was trying to be an RB
this guy has the measurables and athleticism of a Left Tackle grown in a lab
he's a freaking beast
and he's learning from JP and Stoutland
quickly
I really felt Pitt was just trolling in that game
Giving up a tie was worth all of that troll
especially now that Cleveland has talked themselves into tie=win
its even trollier
Also it looks like odds of Rosen and Mayfield starting sometime this year have gone up quite a bit now
Also I have to say I don't really like the new rule about D-lineman not being able to fall on a QB. I don't even know how they are supposed to pull that off. And the one play I saw someone do it, they got called for it anyway.
In post 613, Bella wrote:Derek Anderson has been with the Bills for 10 days. He's now the starting QB while Josh Allen is out with his elbow injury. Much like the Brissett/Tolzien situation last year, literally nobody thinks this is the wrong move. Not even Nathan Peterman's mom. Hell, if he;s being truly honest, not even Nathan Peterman himself thinks this is a worse idea than playing Peterman again.
I wonder if the Bills are doing more to help Colin Kapernick than just offering him a contract
at least he's not risking physical harm

Me: Really? You have to say that? Way to jinx him.
Tucker: misses extra point
As soon as he said it everyone had to see it coming. They always do that. Lol.
I'm p sure theyve said that before
but he didnt miss those times
so you didnt notice
In post 670, shaft.ed wrote:but the eagles already have two slot receivers in Algholar and Mathews
they dont need a third, they need a deep threat
or an RB
or a DB
Matthews has been playing as the deep threat(also hardly playing). His Y/R is 20.0
i realize that
but i think everyone also realizes Mathews isnt a deep threat
nah Chiefs will never get it done
but I didn't really think Philly would be building a dynasty
They lucked into the Title by landing with Godly Foles when it mattered
it also seems teams are much better at scheming for the D after New England trounced them in the title game
i just dont see why the running game is being ignored. I understand there aren't enough good receivers, but with Ajayi and Blount both gone it won't matter who is catching the ball
