    Well, what so you know, another boring non-close prime time game. Boy the NFL sucks at scheduling their close, exciting finish games for prime time.

    There is clearly a New York bias in the NFL this year. Oh. Wait. The Giants are 0-2.
    The dude abides.

    Don't worry, they can still lose 14 more games and still make the playoffs!

    go help my teammates that are understanding of my position and the ones who aren't," Chancellor said in the text message. "God forgives all, why can't i? Time to help us get back to the big dance. I can address business after the season. Me and Marshawn started a mission 2 years ago. I can't let my Dawg down....Real talk."
    Well,as it turns out,after skipping 2 games out of no where he comes back out of no where. And the quote above is one of the dumbest nonsensical things you can read. The entire hold out was contrived. He missed 2 games because they told him to. For that matter the drama might not be over. They could trade him before week 6 because of some silly locker room dispute story lol.
    They aren't getting back to any SB. It's all just fabricated drama for the nfl show. Also to lead people to bet in a certain direction.

    And I assume you have factual proof that he was told to miss two games? Or is this another one of your retarded claims that you make up off the top of your head?

    Lol at Seattle fans who actually think Ray Lewis talked to him about being a team guy or what ever crap. That never happened. It's made up junk

    Where's yours? You assume many things with no first hand proof or knowledge of anything. You have absolutely no proof he did this on his own for his own reasons

    Wow, when called out, Ram turns to the age old favorite defense of first graders everywhere, "I know you are but what am I?"

    Guess what buttercup, I don't have to prove anything. It's YOU who is making the claim. It's your responsibility to back that claim up with undeniable facts. You have no facts, so therefore your claim that " he was told to sit out two games" is henceforth judged and declared to be bullshit!

    And I love your argument. I "assume many things with no first hand proof or knowledge of anything". I "have absolutely no proof he did this on his own for his own reasons".

    That's funny! Neither do you! You have ZERO first hand proof or knowledge of anything. You have absolutely ZERO proof that he supposedly did this because the team told him to. But that certainly doesn't stop you from claiming it. Just like everything else. No proof whatsoever, but you'll happily claim it and act like it's fact nonetheless.

    Until you present FACTS that prove the team told him to sit out the first two weeks, your claim is nothing but the ramblings of a brain damaged moron who still lives in Mother's basement.

    So the Yankees and Blue Jays are in a dogfight in the AL East and tonight's game is on ESPN. How convenient that Yogi Berra died today.

    You people will believe anything.

    Ha! You believe Yogi Berra died?

    All you see is an old man's head with some dates and you'll believe it.

    Nope, I know better. Yogi Berra was made up by the media to get viewers to watch the game on ESPN and to get people to bet on the Yankees. Toronto won 4-0. Coincidence? No.

    You all see a ball flying across the screen and believe it.

    WEEK 2

    Penalties. You gotta love them. Doled out against the guilty offenders by the highly trained observers known as the NFL officiating crew.*

    Week 2 was perhaps one of the most penalized in recent memory. Every game - and I watched a few thanks to a solid Sunday hangover - seem deluged by yellow flags, bogging down play. Though I no longer track penalties as I once did for this site, someone else took up the banner and does so atNFLpenalties.com.* Week 2 saw*298 penalties*- 18.6 per game - hand out nearly*2,700 free yards*to teams. Think any of this yardage in a "game of inches" could be altering outcomes?

    Referees are taking control. And the guy overseeing them - VP of Officiating*Dean Blandino*- is a former stand up comic (no lie; I write about this in further detail in*A Season in the Abyss). Blandino was able to accurately predict the level of penalties called in 2014 prior to the season. Think he, Goodell, and the rest aren't massaging all of this? Nothing seems to happen in the NFL by accident.

    And yet it is perhaps the non-calls that*really*affect games.*

    Case in point, the Sunday night*Seahawks*v.*Packers*game. Now I have no idea why the Seahawks would trade for*Jimmy Graham*and then decide to completely ignore him in their offensive scheme, but the Packers were a clear beneficiary of both the Seahawks' coaching decisions as well as the referees' generosity. I swear during this game I witnessed head refereeGene Steratore*(who called*Dez Bryant's catch in the DAL-GB playoff game a non-catch) repeatedly smirk while announcing certain on-the-field decisions (like the disputed*interception turned fumble that Seattle recovered*but Steratore rebutted). Just prior to halftime, a Seahawks "false start" (which wasn't) allowed*Aaron Rodgers*to throw a ball 50-yards downfield which*Richard Sherman*defended by committing blatant pass interference. Of course, had the false start not have been called (the defender never crossed into the neutral zone to be offsides) none of the following play would have occurred. The extra 50+ yards led to a Packers' field goal.*

    But what was worse was the blantant holding the Packers' O-line was committing without a single flag thrown. Why would this be allowed? Because (a) the Packers were at home (and yes,*"home cookin'"*is a real, tangible thing) and (b) Rodgers is one of the few star QBs the league can hang its hat on. By giving him more leeway on the field in the same way NBA refs give*LeBron James*the constant benefit of the doubt, Rodgers can be the star they want/need him to be. I'm not about to do the research, but I'd love someone to find when the last time a Rodgers' completion was called back due to offensive holding. I'd bet the answer would date back*years

    Elsewhere, this happened. Let me tell you, unless*Tony Romo's backup*Brandon Weeden*can't hold it together to go .500 while Romo oft-broken collarbone heels, the Cowboys will still be in the playoffs. Who else is going to take that division? The Giants? The Redskins? I doubt the Eagles will put Chip Kelly's "genius" offense together, especially when the other team knows their plays are coming.

    In a Spygate-esque turn to the*Cowboys*v.*Eagles*game, it seems the WEEK 2

    In a Spygate-esque turn to the*Cowboys*v.*Eagles*game, it seems the 'Boys knew when the Eagles were going to useDeMarco Murray*prior to*Sam Bradford*handing him the ball. According to Philadelphia sportswriter*Les Bowen*(and thanks to Brandon for the tip):

    As usual when something like this comes to light (remember Week 1? It wasn't too long ago...), the person(s) involved back off such a statement. Same happened here as Bowen later wrote*this*in which Eagles center*Jason Kelce*claimed WR Huff's contention was "not anything new." Right. Teams always know what plays their opponents are going to run prior to the snap of the ball. It's what makes the NFL so exciting.

    More certainly to come....
    Twitter - just in case you kids needed to nitpick about a comment in his writing
    GB had a touchdown pass nullified by offensive holding in Week 1 vs. the Bears. 4:28 2Q, pass to Jones, Bakhtiari flagged.

    But you guys think it's all spontaneous and unplanned

    It's the legal way of letting you know what they are doing because they know you'll interpret it differently.

    maybe I'm dense but I had to read this like 8 times to understand what he was saying

    Just prior to halftime, a Seahawks "false start" (which wasn't) allowed*Aaron Rodgers*to throw a ball 50-yards downfield which*Richard Sherman*defended by committing blatant pass interference. Of course, had the false start not have been called (the defender never crossed into the neutral zone to be offsides) none of the following play would have occurred. The extra 50+ yards led to a Packers' field goal.*
    For someone who "tracks" penalties you would think he would know that the defense can't commit a false start. I'm assuming he meant an "offsides"
    So if I'm reading this correctly, he's claiming that everyone on the field knew that the flag was coming so they called a long pass play so their could be a pass interference call and set up a field goal That is basically the only explanation.
