That probably gets in the way of questioning the logic ... so probably just best you stick to me saying that doctors are lying.

The massive crackdown is in words only. If they really cared about safety why is the schedule covered in Thursday games?
Which would implicitly imply that there is no such crackdown in reality...which in turn would mean (getting back to the conversation YOU jumped into) that the doctors were either lying about Witten being healthy or there is no protocol in place for returning injured players.

What else does "in words only" mean? So I indeed DID focus on what you said and manufactured nothing. So quit making stuff up.

Your words man, not mine so take your condescending crap elsewhere.

As for scheduling primetime nights to maximize revenues....well yeah, why wouldnt they?

And even if they launched new player safety protocol because of law suits...what does that change what is being discussed here??

Romo has been lights out since that INT. Dallas has a lot of pieces in place, just a matter of pulling them alltogether.

Romo has played a very good game. The cowboys have looked great, as long as they don't implode they could be a sleeper.

I guess If I wanted to run and hide from implying I said doctors are lying, I'd pretty much say the above as well.

My words had nothing to do with lying doctors ... focus on that. You implied that. Pulled it out of thin air really. I mean, you could just say, ya I took someone else's comment and presumed you were saying the exact same thing and then go on to disagree and say why you think the NFL cares about safety. You choose instead to bluster away like 'take that crap elsewhere'. Simple fact is you implied I said or meant something that is far from the truth.

I don't believe they really care about safety ... or at least if it has to compete with primetime sales. It's just words and to add the odd rule that is always reactionary to something they could have managed away a generation ago.

So if you are going to reply to this, with any kind of credibility, first tell me exactly where I was referring to lying doctors. If not I'll just assume what I said earlier, you manufacture intent to support arguments. You do it all the time.

Ha, all because I said I think NFL player safety is rhetoric. Jeez.

I don't know, both teams look pretty sloppy. Its just week one, so it's hard project how good they will be, but both Oline's look mediocre, not much run support on either line, but I do agree Romo has played well, especially when handling broken plays.

Based on this game, the Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl. #themediatomorrow

Funny how defenses go butter soft at the end of games. Ray Lewis wouldn't allow this crap.

Romo was a stud in this one....ugh.

IF the boys play like that all year...well...the NFC is one loaded conference already and this could just convolute it more.

Does anyone know why this game was played on Wednesday night instead of Thursday when the NFL normally opens the season?

If I remember correctly, it was originally scheduled to be tomorrow night, but they didn't want to interfere with the President's speech at the DNC. I think the "Big 4" channels are required to broadcast it.
