NFL - NEWS & NOTES

It isn't up to you to determine how much points a team HAVE to make either. Like I said back then, one or more ponts more than the other team is the objective.

 

Is this showstopper’s burner account?

 

almost made it through the day without the name calling and personal assaults...almost

 

Where’s the name calling and insults because I don’t see any?

 

Oh/ no worry Bearswillwin, I wasn't talking about you.

I don't know who Showstopper is, and don't even care..and I am my own account.

 

That’s an interesting take, considering the post you deleted.

 

I deleted it because of its nature, 2 wrongs don't make a right.

I don't know who davidhalton is and I don't care either, or if that is someone's burner account.

 

I have some thoughts on it.

But I ain’t in a sharing mood.

Dave’s alright.

This is maybe the second or third time I’ve seen him venture off the Browns board but he should more often.

 

Saw this little story just now and had to post it... it was on PFT. Found it interesting.

In a moment of frustration, Travis Kelce shoved Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy on the sideline Sunday. The tight end immediately regretted it, returning to give Bieniemy a hug soon after.

“We’re good,” Kelce said Wednesday, via Adam Teicher of ESPN. “Me and coach Bieniemy have a very close relationship. I love him. He’s helped me out tremendously as a person, as a professional, and I’m sure he’ll keep doing that throughout the rest of my career. . . . I love the guy. That will never change. I appreciate him being on my tail to get me going.

“As far as what happened on the sideline, sometimes in football you get a little heated with your brothers or your coaches.”

Kelce and Bieniemy had to be separated on the sideline after Bieniemy approached Kelce following an incomplete pass intended for Kelce. Guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif and offensive tackle Cam Erving stepped between Kelce and Bieniemy.

“He’s like a father figure, in terms of being there for me on the field,” Kelce said. “We’re wired a little bit the same when it comes to our competitive edge. . . . It’s something immediately I regretted, and I just wanted to make it good and let him know that, ‘You know what? I’m ready to rock and roll for you.'”

Kelce’s frustration has surfaced at various times in his career, including in 2016 when he was ejected from a game against the Jaguars after the Pro Bowler threw a penalty flag at an official.

“I haven’t felt like that in a while,” Kelce said. “That’s definitely something I’ve been thinking about a lot, just how to handle a lot of those situations. Looking back, seeing how I connected the dots after maybe a frustrating play and how to kind of [narrow] in and be able to attack on the next play with a clear mind.

“It’s football. It’s not always going to go your way, so I’ve just got to maintain the level of focus and the level of excitement that I have for the game.”

I have a thought on it. A referee will throw a flag against the 2nd one that throws a punch.
I also deleted it because it's not worth anything remaining there.

Apparently his comment was worth someone clicking a like on it.

It's very odd that I would get berated for not keeping to football, and anyone can see today I put up a hard effort totoday to keep to it and it end with some unknown person to me waltzing in with a useless remark other than for me to explain it.

 

I’m positive you know that the issue wasn’t with straying from football. There are a lot of offshoot discussions on this thread.

You know why I posted what I did previously. Being coy doesn’t change anything.

 

This is my last comment today.

I had no intent to get into a useless argument with Axe, nor with Bww, nor with you.
You didn't say what you are in the mood for, and I don't want to know.

good night.

 

Vontaze Burfict's suspension for the remainder of the season will stand as is, the NFL announced Wednesday.

Appeals officer Derrick Brooks, appointed by the NFL and NFLPA, upheld the suspension of Burfict for his helmet-to-helmet hit against the Colts.

With Brooks' ruling, nothing will change going forward for Burfict, who will not play for the remainder of the regular season or the postseason, should the Raiders (3-2) advance to the playoffs.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Brooks will send a letter in the coming days explaining his decision, as is standard procedure.

Originally suspended Sept. 30 for his hit on Colts tight end Jack Doyle (with a second illegal hit on running back Nyheim Hines later coming to the forefront), Burfict's first season with the Raiders is now over. He was a team captain and starting linebacker who had 18 tackles in four games. Burfict, who missed Sunday's game against the Bears, filed an appeal, but any and all hopes of rejoining Oakland this year have now been expunged.

This was Burfict's eighth season and his first with the Raiders after seven in Cincinnati. No matter the change in roster, the linebacker's timeline of infractions was elongated and his propensity for violations weighed heavily in his suspension, according to a statement by NFL VP of football operations Jon Runyan when the original penalty was announced.

"There were no mitigating circumstances on this play," Runyan said in his letter to Burfict. "Your contact was unnecessary, flagrant and should have been avoided. For your actions, you were penalized and disqualified from the game.

"Following each of your previous rule violations, you were warned by me and each of the jointly-appointed appeal officers that future violations would result in escalated accountability measures. However, you have continued to flagrantly abuse rules designated to protect yourself and your opponents from unnecessary risk.

"Your extensive history of rules violations is factored into this decision regarding accountability measures."

This is the fourth suspension of Burfict's career, with three due to on-field infractions. He's also been saddled with seven fines.

 

There was no argument to be had with me.

 

I'm familiar with both DavidHalton and Showstopper. I liked Dave's post because it was funny. That's all.

 

He should be done for life.

 

He should have gotten a bigger suspension after the brown hit

 

Well, I don't know either one. If you think coming in and taking a potshot to keep the crap going is funny then I don't think I quite know you either. I didn't know you participate in that sort of thing.

 

That's BS, there was no other reason except to argue that you would have than to jump right in and cite a drletion I made that had nothing to do with you. What do you gain by keeping the crap pot stirred?

That is a stupid subject for you to want to argue over.
This is as far as I'm going to discuss that point with you.

 

You may be trying to argue, but you’re not being very successful with it.
