Johann 440 November 10, 2020 I just want to get this off my chest...Skip Bayless is an asshole. I have never heard him have a derogatory nickname for any other quarterback except Flacco. He calls him Fluko. Just did it again. For a player that really doesn't impact the sport that much, why single him out? I know Bayless' feelings got hurt when Flacco beat his beloved Brady on the way to his Superbowl win, but Bayless is just petty. Did Flacco sleep with his wife or something? I also hate his dismissive grunts. Asshole. 4 Share this post Link to post

No. It was stopped a few years ago when it came out how much the Pentagon was spending. It was felt the taxpayers should not be paying for sports team to salute our military. If leagues want to do it during November, they can but they won't be paid to do it. One reason the League suddenly didn't mind teams not coming out for the National Anthem anymore or kneeling.

Carey 466 November 15, 2020 RIP Paul Hornung. One of the rare greats in both College and the NFL. Similar to how we aren't getting a league MVP from a non-playoff team, or a Super Bowl MVP from a losing team, we'll never see a Heisman winner from a team with a losing record, ever again. 12 hours ago, Calvada said: 2020 has been a rough year for Packers' greats - Herb Adderley, Willie Wood, Willie Davis and now the Golden Boy. The real Golden Boy. It's been a rough year, period, but I feel for the St. Louis Cardinals fans along with the Green Bay fans. The Steelers result against the Bengals will not be a shock, regardless of the outcome. I think Cincinnati is for real and might be 1-2 years & a defense away from being a major contender. IMO, Cincy reminds me of Cleveland 2 years ago when they rallied in the second half and finished strong against expectations. Pittsburgh might point to covid issues in an event of a loss, but the Bengals have been dealing with the coronavirus as well. Cincy had a bye, but despite the fan turnout, it's at Heinz Field. Week Ten Picks includes: Cleveland, Detroit, Tampa, Philadelphia, Green Bay, Buffalo, Miami, Vegas, Seattle, New Orleans, Baltimore, and Chicago. The Eagles are getting several people back. Despite the jokes on a 5-win NFC Team, I think Philly might run away and possibly get that number to 7-9 wins. The problem is they are losing several people, including their entire defensive line, thanks to their assistant coach testing positive Share this post Link to post

While the randomness of the NFL discipline is just that, I think organizations like the Steelers and unlike the Raiders will do the right thing. In doing so, whatever New England does is their business. It will be a bad look since I saw Belichick without one but can't recall the Steelers not wearing theirs. They didn't but I didn't see the violation on television Speaking of Bill, and based on what I saw online, it's been a long time, maybe close to six years since Pittsburgh was happy for the Patriots for a game.
