I just wanted to choose it on my own is all.

I'm thrilled to have a jersey though.

But then I have to get another one next year when we debut new ones.

Be a man and get a player on the defence on your next jersey!

I'd like to get a Chiefs Jersey, but it's not like I'm much a Jersey guy to begin with, so I wonder when the heck I'd ever wear it besides game days.

currently have a bunch of Chiefs stuff in my cart at Fanatics, and hesitant to go through the purchase, just because im always paranoid about if stuff will fit :( I got a hoodie last christmas that was XL and fit perfectly.. got a new Chiefs one a couple weeks ago, and it's XL, and I'm swimming in it. They have a great return policy sure, but just annoying is all.
 
Why should Jerry Jones be ousted?
When was the last time the Packers president and Clark Hunt had pictures of them with multiple women in a bathroom stall and then had sexual assault cases pending?

If an NFL owner shows themselves to be an old style country racist, like those two, I'm sure we'd see some action. Dan Snyder is up first.

What about a sexist? Part of Goodell's growth of the NFL has been the expansion of the international and female audience.
 
I think it's laughable that anyone might think Goodell should lose his job over this fiasco.

You think it is laughable that someone thinks the commish should lose his job for the way he handled this? He made a mountain out of a mole hill, he has lied to the fans and the media, he has gotten woman's groups upset when the NFL is trying hard to court woman viewers. I am not saying he will get fired but that is absolutely something that should be considered at this point. All this damage that he has done to the NFL, and for what, to keep a washed up RB around. It makes no sense at all.

I've seen pictures of Obama smoking weed and he is an alleged murderer.

Jerry Jones for president.
 
Does having sex with hookers make a person a sexist? If so, there won't be many owners or players left in any leagues.

For the record, there's a world of difference between a criminal case and a civil suit. Ask bionic.
 
NBA only ousted Sterling after years and years of him being a racist shithead.

Yep. Much like with the Ray Rice situation, the general public having a piece of media to react to was what caused his removal.

The stuff Sterling did before that were WAY, WAY worse than anything he said on that tape.

It was laughable up until he got caught in a lie. While he may still not lose his job, someone definitely will. It's just a matter of figuring out who the fall guy will be at this point.

This should tell everyone something, but people are too busy living in a celebrity obsessed, controversy starved society.

I understand that I'm just saying that it isn't healthy for the sport to keep on having these things happen.

There is a history of incidents with both Jerry Jones and Jim Irsay.

At the end of the day none of this will affect the bottom line. People won't be boycotting NFL and the games will still be dominating the ratings.
 
Holy shit, looking at the Eagles All-22 really paints a picture of how bad Foles was. Way worse than I thought. Maclin was open all day.

I listened to the BGN podcast yesterday and they are all very pro-Foles but they were just killing him saying that WRs were getting wide open all game and that Matthews had 2 different plays were he was 10 yards behind the defense and Foles had time but never looked at him. Hopefully they can get it cleaned up but it is very worrisome.

Irsay's stuff is just about all self-destructive, so I think the league shouldn't have done anything (until the DUI).

Jones stuff...has he ever actually been in trouble? You really want to start banning people based on rumors and unproven allegations?

Yeah, it was really pathetic. He could have had 500 yards that game if he played an average quality game.

I think we should ban all Jets fans due to Gate D.

What has Goodall actually done well in handling this situation? The initial rice suspension? The apologetic letter? The new rules he put in place that still allowed hardy and McDonald to play? The subsequent indefinite suspension of ray rice after the tape came out which goes against his own guidelines he set forth because of his ineptitude the first time??? The nflpa is STILL waiting for an explanation of the suspension to see if they should sue the league. Which is usually received within 24 hours.

The question is what do you think he's done to prove he should keep his job? I didn't even touch on the various stories regarding if he did or didn't see the tape, which shouldn't be relevant to the case because the NJ police saw it and punished him how they saw fit. And everyone knew that he punched her back when it happened.

Of course not but how can the NFL and Goodell act as enforcer in chief when he doesn't do anything to owners?


a commissioner needs to represent the sport especially if those sport leagues are monopolies.

Didn't Irsay get a 6 game suspension and half a million dollar fine?

The league hasn't punished Manziel (or any player that simply gets a photo with women) why should it punish Jones?
 
What would they even be punishing Jerry for, hooking up with chicks? If his wife doesnt care why the fuck should the league. I guess if Jerry loses in civil court maybe the league could do something, but my god would they be opening Pandora's box if they did.

No. The question is what do you think he's done to lose his job? The only thing he's done is incorrectly predict the public reaction to the tape. If he's lying about seeing the tape, then sure, that's a fireable offense, otherwise, I don't see anything.

What is he supposed to do to the owners? Boot them when there's a rumor? I'm completely confused as to what you want.


I can't believe you people are making me defend this fuckwit!

Old rich dudes banging young chicks is a tradition dating back to 5000 BC. Not sure that's changing anytime soon so I agree that it seems weird for him to get into trouble for it!

Steinbrenner was banned from baseball. Why shouldn't Irsay be banned from the NFL?

The NFL has had a history of PR mishaps with a few owners. If Goodell was truly a commissioner instead of a figurehead judge he would be trying to clean up all of the sport.

If the NFL had a panel reviewing these discipline instead of a sole figure nobody would be this angry at him.

Only real solution is to get Vince Mcmahon to bring back the XFL.

XFL network is only 9.98

Irsay should be banned for life for a DUI?? Steinbrenner was banned (from day to day, not from ownership) for attacking Winfield. Not sure how the two are in any way similar?
 

If they just dropped all the awful side story bullshit and focused on getting decent players it could be really good. The USFL was great, but that was because they were getting a lot of the top players, plus they were fun when the NFL hated fun. I really think there is a niche that a good summer league could fill. Make it a hard nosed defensive league to differentiate it from the NFL and people would watch.
 
Quick question for you guys...

I've been with AT&T since the OG iPhone. I'm considering switching over to Verizon because I like the idea of being able to tether if/when needed. Is there anything that I should know of that should keep me away from Verizon?

I really have no complaints about AT&T. And I like being able to use voice and data simultaneously but I think Verizon can do that now, right? With the iPhone 6 doing voice over LTE....?

Good luck with that. The worst part of the XFL was that the players were completely incapable of tackling.
 
Man I'm on lunch break listening to the radio and folks are calling in butthurt over Cam's Suh comments lmao. I thought it was just Cam having fun, and he didn't even disrespect Suh or Detroit. People are comparing it to dumbass Josh Sitton calling the Lions scumbags (before we destroyed them on Thanksgiving). It's not even in the same ballpark...

Here's a breakdown that's a couple months old: http://www.imore.com/best-us-iphone-carrier-2014

The changeover to 4G LTE has caused each of the major U.S. carriers to invest huge amounts of money in rebuilding and building out their networks.

Verizon has the farthest reach of any of the Big Four, with near-ubiquitous coverage. Network performance, however, has suffered, so Verizon's current emphasis is improving capacity in congested areas.

Verizon has effectively tripled capacity already in some key urban markets. The short-term bandwidth increase for customers in those area will be evened out over the long term as more customers come online with LTE-capable devices.

AT&T now lays claim to being the nation's most reliable wireless network, with faster overall speeds than Verizon. The company uses a different radio standard than Verizon — GSM, similar to T-Mobile, rather than the CDMA technology employed by Verizon and Sprint. One upside of GSM is that you can make calls and send data at the same time using a single-antenna phone like the iPhone, something you can't do on Verizon and Sprint's network — at least not until they switch over to Voice over LTE (VoLTE), and that's still a way off.

Who should get the iPhone on Verizon?

Many people who have phones on Verizon's network are perfectly content — they can make calls anywhere and get pretty good data speeds to boot, though they do see congestion in major areas. If you don't need simultaneous voice/data calling, Verizon's a good choice.

Who should get their iPhone on AT&T?

AT&T's improved their network dramatically in the last 12 months and continue to invest heavily in improving both the coverage and speed of their 4G LTE network. Whether or not you'll be able to save money with AT&T depends on how many devices you've got connected and whether you're plugged into their upgrade program, so do the math.
