NFL - NEWS & NOTES

Catfish, a lot of great players have gone to jail, I can agree with you that if a player already in the HOF is convicted of murder then he should be removed from the HOF. But there isn't one player in the HOF that was convicted of murder.

 

But, if you are going to allow others that have a criminal conviction (even if it isn't murder) to stay, then can you really hold it against someone like TO for just being a knucklehead?

 

Think about this: Lawrence Taylor. HoF LB. One of the greatest ever. Re-defined the position. Busted in NY for banging a 16-year old prostitute. Age of consent in NY is 17. LT is a shitbag of a human. Great LB. HoF just wants to know that last part. It's hard to respect the HoF (any of them) considering the unsavory acts of some of its inhabitants and the biases shown to some nominees. Then the media decides? They can't even get the nominees straight (derrrrr ... Steve Smith). You just have to see it for what it is... a career-long score card and highlight reel. This is probably one of the biggest reasons why athletes just want to win championships. Maybe the HoF is useless or is becoming less significant.

 

murder - no. heinous crimes or criminal offenses - im sure i can find some.

 

TO is a Saint compared to others with a criminal past.

 

How about this . . .

If a player is convicted of a crime and receives a life sentence (with or without the possibilty of parole), then he is prohibted from being inducted or is removed from the HoF if he is convicted after he is inducted.

 

Marshawn Lynch is back in the NFL, and he’s back to being fined for his gestures.

The NFL fined Lynch $12,000 for a gesture he made on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. TV cameras caught Lynch flipping the double bird to the Titans’ Karl Klug.


That’s far from the first time Lynch has been fined for inappropriate gestures. Lynch was fined $20,000 for grabbing his crotch after scoring a touchdown in the NFC Championship Game in January of 2015. He was also fined $11,050 for doing the same thing a month earlier.

The NFL has previously warned Lynch that inappropriate gestures could also draw a 15-yard penalty.

 

The NFL is going to enforce a 15-yd penalty during the game or during the next game because of last week's gesture? Will it be on the kickoff? I want to hear the announcers explain that one.
Al Michaels: "Well, the Raiders will actually start at their own 5 yd line instead of the 20 because Marshawn Lynch told a fan to go fuck himself last week via a finger gesture."
Please, oh please, please, let Al Michaels say that on tv.

 

What if the Raiders run back the opening kickoff for a TD? Would it get called back?

 

I'm seeing that N Korea may have launched a missile over Japan.

 

Probably. Unsportsmanlike conduct... ... from last week.

 

Japan is under EBS. Missile over Hokkaido.

 

I really do not care about any hall of fames, North Korea will piss off my new tech toys. The new Hitachi 480 vibrator would soon be on backorder. My mistresss demands current upgrades and nuclear power.

 

Bengals cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick after loss to Texans: “We suck”

Being shutout to open the season and losing to a rookie quarterback in his first career start four days later is already taking its toll on the Cincinnati Bengals.

After a 13-9 loss to the Houston Texans on Thursday night, Bengals players expressed their frustration with the team’s 0-2 start. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick kept his assessment quite simple.


“We suck,” he said, via Jeremy Rausch of FOX 19 in Cincinnati.

Kirkpartrick wasn’t he only one. Rausch also noted an unnamed player yelling in the Bengals locker room “we just lost to the worst team in the league.”

The Bengals have not scored a touchdown through the first two games of the season. The defense has been plenty good enough. They allowed just 268 yards of offense to the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday and just 266 yards to the Texans on Thursday night. They’ve allowed just 33 points combined through the first two games of the season and yet they find themselves at 0-2 largely due to an anemic offense.

 

Sign of a bad team, destined to get worse. The defense playing well and publicly talking about how they suck...which is an obvious cut on the other half of the team and will not go over well. If Marvin doesn't get control of that locker room quickly, he will be gone at the end of the year.

 

If I had a nickel for every time I've said that about Ole Marv..... I'd have at least .30. He can't survive this team can he?

 

just "making" the playoffs has saved his job at least twice. If he isn't making the playoffs, what good does it do to keep him around?

 

how many ex-players have received a life sentence that were destined for the HOF?

 

Adrian Peterson: I didn’t sign up for nine snaps

Saints running back Adrian Peterson downplayed any sideline tension with head coach Sean Payton immediately after Monday’s loss to the Vikings and did so again on Thursday while saying that he enjoyed seeing the memes that people have created around the intense stare he gave Payton during the game.

Peterson particularly liked one that had him as Denzel Washington’s character from Training Day, but called the whole thing “definitely overdramatized” when it came to the way he felt during the game. That’s not to say that Peterson was thrilled with playing nine snaps and carrying the ball six times in his first game with New Orleans.


“I didn’t sign up for nine snaps, though, but unfortunately that’s the way the game played out,” Peterson said, via the New Orleans Advocate. “In my mind, personally, I knew it was gonna take some adjusting. You know, me and Mark played in the last preseason game, AK didn’t even play that game. So with all three of us being out there, I knew it would take a game or so to kind of get adjusted.”

There will surely be changes from week to week, but it seemed clear on Monday that the Saints aren’t going to have much use for Peterson if they are trailing of if they are relying on the passing game to move the ball. They can do something about the former in the weeks to come, but the latter is going to continue to be an obstacle for Peterson on a team with Drew Brees at quarterback.

They should trade him.

 

I don't know. Probably none?

But what it would do is take the decision out of court of public opinion and link it to the U.S. justice system.
