What the Rams did to Aqib is dirty and shouldn't be allowed imo
Dude is on IR so they sent him and a 5th round pick to the Dolphins for something like a future 7th or whatever. Like the dude is hurt eat his salary like you are suppose to don't pay the shitty ass tanking Dolphins to eat his salary. He probably wont even ever play a snap for the Dolphins too it's just like a blemish on his pretty fucking good career. Now people in the future will look and be like oh lol he had success but look he was on that all time shitty Dolphins team when he really wasn't.
Well it was an exciting game.
I’m really looking forward to Seahawks/Niners.
I hope Seattle wins.
What?? You said they were gonna win too!
Inside the NFL is officially unwatchable now. Phil Simms, Ray Lewis and Brandon Marshall?? Jesus. I can’t even get through the intro anymore. Ray Lewis is always talking about something his grandpa told him when he was 8. Phil Simms has always been a retard. Brandon Marshall is a total clown. He’s like black Carrot Top. He refuses to make a direct point or answer a direct question. This is a weekly NFL recap where they show highlights and talk about upcoming games, or used to be.
I don’t know how it’s still on.

You're welcome, they are the real sport journalists of the world now.
There's a huge running joke here about Rob Gronkowski taking a commentator role. He's famously known as a cave man like idiot here who just happened to be good at football, so it's hilarious to us that he took that job. He would regularly use tape and put 69 on his practice jersey because he thought it was funny. I think he has like one brain cell and it's amazing to me he has a job in TV.
Yeah it’s funny because you’re right. Gronkowski as an analyst is a joke. But people do love Gronk and he has a great personality and he’s actually good on tv compared to a lot of athletes you see. I’ve watched him a little since he started and he doesn’t seem at all nervous or struggle for what to say. He’s always been funny in commercials and shit.
But no he’s no analyst. He’s not Tony Romo. Maybe he’ll be good at interviewing players and stuff. They’d probably open up to him. Who knows what he’ll do but if you’re Gronk you can basically do whatever you want.
Tell me if I'm wrong... he would rule in the next Expendables movie. He's perfect for it. He's a big dumb idiot and he would thrive amongst a ton of old school action stars.
I don't think Gronk is stupid at all. Read the SI article about him Rob Gronkowski, Football Mastermind. Also, like Marshawn Lynch, he lived off endorsements and saved all his NFL money.
I agree I don’t think he’s stupid either. He’s a big goof but he’s not actually dumb.
Watching Mason Rudolph vs Brian Hoyer...
And people wonder why the NFL is going overboard to protect quarterbacks.
Im watching that game too lol
Also looks like Dolphins might beat the Jets :o
Also what the fuck is with the Bears
few minutes into the 3rd
Passing
Mitch 6/12 23 yards (4 of the 6 went to RBs)
Rushing
Mitch 1 carry 7 yards
Montgomery 3 carries 1 yard
Isn't the Philly passing defense one of the more yardage prone defensives this year? What the hell.
Big time Congrats to the Dolphins for blowing the 1st overall pick potentially.
Jets are the worst drafting team in NFL history. That’s why Darnold is doomed.
Cleveland should have taken him.
Just out of curiosity, how do you feel about the argument that the NFL might be better off if they eliminated pads?
The only team sport I've ever played is rugby. I honestly think rugby at times can be more brutal than American football. The thing is, you don't see the same massive, life changing injuries in rugby because like you would never run at someone full speed and just go bone on bone with them. I've read quite a few things, specifically when I was in medic school because there were a few high profile CTE suicides.
It would obviously drastically change the game. Nobody could argue that. I'm just asking if you think American football could survive without pads. I know this will never happen in a million years, the NFL is a cash cow and there's no way they'd ever do this. I just think it's an interesting question. The data is there relative to rugby, hurling, Irish/Australian rules football, etc. Physical sports without pads are objectively safer because people are way more reserved when they throw their body at someone.
It was the same with fighting. I'd take a fucking beating in sparring matches when I had headgear on and foot pads, but I was basically walking on egg shells in actual competitive fights.
Nothing would ever beat the Idzik 11. Stockpiles 11 picks in the worst draft class in the past 20 seasons, picks 11 players, who within 3 years, were either all cut/released or traded for garbage.
It's pretty insane, how thin the line is from Dynasty building teams and a complete and utter collapse. Literally one bad decision that can be viewed as minor sends such a massive ripple effect that can destroy an entire team.
I’ve never heard the argument to remove all pads in American football. Not seriously anyway. American football isn’t rugby nor should it try to be. Rugby already exists everywhere. Nobody wants rugby 2.0. There are things they can do and try to make football safer and lower the risk of serious injury without completely changing the game, and that’s happening and will continue to happen, but there are all kinds of extremely dangerous activities and professions that aren’t in the same discussion as American football for some reason. Snowboarders, skiers, motocross, race car driving, cycling, hockey, gymnastics. Most people devoted enough to get to the Olympics have broken more bones and had more concussions than most NFL players. Some of these winter sports athletes get concussed more than boxers.
But these people and sports are praised. And what about occupation? Is pipe fitting dangerous? Power line work? Commercial fishing? Steel working? Police and firefighting? How about joining the military? None of those people get paid millions of dollars a year. Lots of shit is dangerous. Cage fighting is on the rise. It’s everywhere. Boxing is making a huge comeback.
So as long as American football and especially the NFL continues to bring awareness to the obvious dangers and works to improve gear and implement sensible changes and rules to decrease risk of serious injury, people should stop singling it out and demonizing it. I think it’s the greatest team sport ever invented and a dream that young people in pockets all over the country or even the world have and should be able to chase.
To me, these guys that try to climb Everest every year and die and leave their families alone for no reason other than personal...whatever, I don’t know. People praise their bravery and call them heroes. They make movies about them. A lot of these NFL players come from nothing and make money that changes their families forever. Yes it’s dangerous. So what?
Ravens kicked the Pats ass last night! You know what that means?!?
It means Pats will beat them in the playoffs by like 14.
That was a fantastic response Hugh. I'm picking my girlfriend up at the airport and am in a mad dash to play hide the pickle. I promise it will get a proper response.
Sounds good. I guess I never really answered your direct question directly, so my answer is no. I do not think the NFL will be better off if they eliminated pads. If NASCAR drivers raced riding lawn mowers they would be safer, but not better off.
Same thing to me.
I appreciate the passion, and the fact that he was probably so shitfaced he won’t remember, but damn.
Get a grip, man! He’d never make it as a Mariners fan.
I get really excited about sports, and I get bummed out when my team loses. But I don't think I've ever cried over a sporting event, even as a child. That has to be the alcohol crying, right?
Yes. I was near tears of joy when the Seahawks won the Super Bowl, and close to tears of rage when they lost it the next year, but I never actually shed tears. And honestly I wasn’t that close. Just very happy and very frustrated. But those were both the damn Superbowls!!
This game yesterday didn’t mean shit really. Yes, he was blind drunk I hope. Otherwise he’s going to have a hard time dealing with life.
with a large enough bet and enough bs I could cry
I just feel rage over a loss, not sadness.
^
I cried twice over sports.
1 - On purpose safety in Niners' - Ravens SB, costing me exact score call 100% everything correct, losing 8.6k, and instead walking away with around 900$
2 - Tracy Porter returning the TD 76 yards instead of just stopping so the Saints could take a knee, also costing me around 6k.
I've never bet on anything ever again, nor ever will.
I haven't cried over sports either but one time I got really depressed, more than other times. The game when the Giants were beating the Eagles 31-10 with about 8 minutes left in the game and we ended up losing to the walk off punt return by Desean Jackson. I went to bed at 9pm that night
