This has been an upside-down bizarro week in the National Football League.
I just want to get to the games.
(And they got Barkley up before 4 PM, yall should've known he was gonna spout some foolishness)

Lewis really is. Should be a pastor
I'm sure the NFL does too
It's really hard for me to take ESPN seriously when you have Ray sitting there.

"The reputation that these guys put on our league is embarrassing" - Ray Lewis
I know I know LOL Ray Lewis but jokes aside, he is right.
He fucked up so he isn't hiding from it. But his comments about getting so much from football and whether you want to be or not, you are a role model and since you are given so much much is expected back from you.
I mean all of these guys have made good points.
I missed Boomer's segment. Any link to something online?

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
It was nearly incomprehensible. It was like he forgot was he was talking about twice as he continued.

Panthers spoeksman told the AP that the Hardy decision was not injury related. Team has no comment. Rivera to address after the game.
All speculation, but I'm gonna guess that if it was up to him, Hardy would be playing. Coaches aren't generally down with intentionally doing something that makes their team worse, especially in a results-oriented business like the NFL.
Will be interesting to hear that statement. Especially if they lose today

Didn't Jim Rome also beat up his wife? David Stern once brought that up right?
It shouldn't be that if you made a mistake in the past you are not qualified to talk about it. I feel like Ray Lewis is perfectly capable of talking about this and from both sides. It is more about how the ones who mess up and the league address the act moving forward.
The NFL can have the strictest policies, a true zero tolerance policy, and there will still be guys who drive drunk, beat up women, or do even worse. Its how you react to it. Being proactive vs reactive.

WTF at Barkley .
/facepalm

Sounds like there is a good chance both Alshon and Marshall are going to miss the game tonight. Why even show up to San Fran? Sim loss.

I get that Barkley is saying that in many black households that there's a lot more physical punishment but did he even see the photos?
Somewhere Bart Starr felt the need to spontaneously laugh.

Charles Barkley has carte blanche to walk on any sports show. You guys should know this.
Dude has charisma coming out the asshole and isn't afraid to speak his mind. He's TV gold. The Bob Hope of sports.

This is why I truly can't hate Stern. They were doing an interview segment, it was starting to get heated (of course because Rome), and Stern just said "have you stopped beating your wife yet?"
"I got four cars and I got a gun in every one of 'em"
Wow what? No dude, Stern's point must have went way over your head.

Why is the Fox pregame show so amateur hour?
Yeah and a lot of the black former players on ESPN said the same. They have been through the exact same branch physical punishment.
The point isn't whether its been done before or not, but that this is beyond normal discipline even if you prescribe to hitting your kids. Seeing the pictures seals the deal. A lot of people are getting defensive because they either do that to their kids or had it done to them. You want to hit kids fine, but there is fine line between hitting and abuse.
I can't even imagine hitting a child but sure a small slap on the backside here and there. But this is child abuse.
Want to see the Boomer rant.
