:D

Unfortunately, you are right. I never really watched wrestling but I thought they were pretty tough to take those beatings. Then I found it's all choreographed. The razor blades used to come out for the shock of seeing blood. Wrestling and the NFL are allowed to rig a match for the desired outcome and that is what makes it entertainment. I get it. I just don't like it.

It's just another reason I don't watch the NFL games anymore besides the Saints and their opponents. I've got KC/Raiders game on mute in the background now but I only look at it occasionally and hope there's a big play when I watch.

The problem is that I don't respect the game anymore. Professional football has changed so much that I almost don't recognize it. I certainly don't understand the rules that are not enforced by the zebras except at their digression to move the game forward to their preconceived determination of the outcome.

Sorry, if I'm ranting but I'm just so deeply disappointed that it's not a game anymore where men can battle to see who is the winner. It's basically an infomercial. Rant over! :p

So much big NFL news today and it makes me sad that Rapoport is sitting at home with his freshly shorn sack unable to report on it. :rofl:

Poor guy. And waxing is so much more efficient. :(

Re: NFL, Roger Goodell Drop Hammer On Ian Rapoport

Matty Ice averaging about 5 yards per pass today.

Atlanta could be looking at the #1 pick in the next draft.

I just looked up his contract situation and it’s impossible for them to trade him next year. I don’t know what they would do if they had the #1 pick. The logical thing would be trade down with a team that wants Trevor Lawrence.

Since Goodell became commissioner.

I got to do extensive research to conclude it, but most every playoff game including conference championships have been won by the bigger TV market team. Theirs been some exceptions usually by the home team including us in 09 season.

I didn't hear a single political view point and it reminded me of the good old days of laying up on the couch watching football all day.

You were right Guido. Looking at it from your view point made the game worth watching again. It is still a shame that it's no longer a sport for gladiators now but rather a choreographed dance. But hey, on the bright side rugby hasn't sold out. It was here before football and will be here long after and that is my true love.
