seems unfair they don't get a shot to match or beat it

[flamingred89]

That game was fun as hell.

[Sainters7]

That was wild. 2 games in a row Atlanta was able to capitalize on late sloppy play by the opponent to pull it out.

As an evil older white man who someone who greew up on the ultra racist colonial indoctrinated education system....I have a soft spot for Kirk Cousins. He's a throwback to the evil white QB's of the 80's who stood in the pocket and slinged it because most of them were way too slow to run. I respect a guy who stands in there and finds his 4th read before getting clocked. Progressives can't wait till that garbage is finally out of the game. I like that guys of contrasting styles can be successful.

Maybe this is the week offenses catch up to defenses.

At least they changed it from just the field goal needed to win, still dumb of the NFL though, CFL and the NCAA have much better OT rules.

Edit. Woah. Maybe not.

If they can find an RB in the next few weeks they can be a threat but as it is right now they are too one dimensional and reliant on the pass game. Once Mayfield is shutdown they can't generate any offense. The first and second halves on the last game were a prime example of effective Mayfield and shutdown Mayfield. He had something like 30 pass yards in the second half.

NFLPA wanting media out of locker rooms. Media done outside or in a separate room. A lot of players like it saying it’s awkward having them around. Some reporters pushing back saying they build relationships in the locker room lol.

TMZ frank must be having a stroke right now. He threw a tantrum during Covid because he couldn’t get access to naked players.

Always thought it was weird having media rush into locker rooms as players are showering and getting changed.

I can understand this. However, im sure some of you have seen the videos of things flopping around in the background.

What is the protocol with reporters going in WNBA/other pro women leagues, locker rooms?

Im assuming only female reporters are allowed if any?

Reporters who don't want to write cliches and/or want some low key info/gossip/dirt on what's actually going on, stay away from the stars, and get all the info on the team from the linemen or backups.

Looks like the video has been removed from the internet, (has to be somewhere, but I aint deep diving anymore, lol) but there was a blurred out youtube video that was pretty bad, granted if this is the one from 16 years ago.

Edit - Saw an edited screenshot, wasnt the one I remembered.


The NFL seems to do a good job with it, but obviously something recently has brought it up again?

[Paulie Walnuts]

Torrey Smith saying the reporters just stare at their meat.

What’s wrong with setting up a podium and getting interviews done. You don’t need 10 players to say we didn’t execute.

Set it up like the playoffs. That’s what a media age is for.

[Junglist]

I dont pretend to understand how the 4 major pro league locker rooms in NA work after games, etc, but ive personally only heard stories about the NFL. Bigger rosters, maybe some players dont notice, but it will be interesting to see how this is resolved.

I agree, but the NFL is so huge, they want interviews from almost everyone, the NFL is huge (repeating myself), as I know you know. I agree with you are saying you dont need 10 guy right after the game saying the same stuff, but the market wants to hear from so many individual players, about a missed tackle or dropped ball, im spitballing here lol.

So no Jets/Vikes game on the tube in Canada?

Looks like TSN+ which is kind of BS. I get it on DAZN but I'm not clear why TSN is keeping it away from cable subscribers. Why should anyone that pays for TSN on cable have to subscribe to their web service?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Cause you don't pay TSN direct for your cable subscription, by forcing you onto TSN+ they get that sweet cash direct. Obviously can expect more games in the future onto streaming instead of cable.

[chummer]

What the heck was that Rodgers?

[Senator Clay Davis]

Forget trading for Adams, the Jets should be looking to trade Rodgers to the Raiders.

[Joborule]

Rodgers is terrible.

I love it.
