I can see the justification at one level for weed testing. It's federally illegal, so the league shouldn't need to condone it. What really gets me about the whole weed thing is that Goddell refuses to allow it, and then players just get shoved full of painkillers and shit like Cortisone and either end up getting addicted or having really fucked up kidneys and livers later in life. Weed would be infinitely safer as a painkiller and much better for these guys' long-term health. Physical injuries are unfortunately a part of football. But opiate addiction shouldn't be. Player safety my ass.

Fuck me. I missed an important meeting because the stupid MS outlook reminder doesn't pop up on the screen it stays minimized in the taskbar
PRetty sure you can change that setting
They have a string of at least average edge rushing teams coming up. Lions x2, Cards, and Washington. After that it eases up but unless they can fix their offense Dallas will beat them, and they have to go into Lambeau. I could see them collapsing with those guys at tackle.
Why shit on Goodell when that is pretty much how medicine is practiced in the entire country?
We as a nation have for a long time have had a drug problem. It is no surprise that that extends to football as well.
22% of NFL players have played with Josh Gordon
No simply workaround. I Googled it. They designed it that way so if you were doing a presentation you wouldn't get a random pop up on the screen. Now i get an email stating to confirm if you attended the meeting with my boss cc'd on it. Sweet!!!
That's a fair point. I feel like marijuana legalization is going to happen relatively soon, maybe the next 5 years. Once that happens I wonder how hospitals and doctors will use it. It's a much safer alternative to opiates, but I wonder if the pharmaceutical companies are going to lobby hard against it.
So in your fantasy land players don't already and wouldnt take pain killers and smoke trees too.

I was expecting some great promos/build-ups for this ATL/Tampa game but nothing from DM & RBH.
RBH, you're nothing but a mark ass trick!

He can pass for white

CHI played mostly 2 deep and their front was able to stop the run and get a pass rush w/o blitzing. It's isn't like the Bears have this great defense, either. At some point you just can't Xs and Os around two backup tackles
All white people look the same.

You haven't been watching. The Ravens are bad. Like, Browns bad. How we lucked in to three straight wins to start, I have no idea, but the fact is, this team is sans talent. My feelings on Flacco are well known, and he's not doing anything to change them ( 5TDs 6INTs, 6 yds an attempt). There is no running game. We're missing Ronnie Stanley and Marshall Yanda on the line, Moseley, Suggs and Dumervil at LB, and 4 of the top 6 DBs and our starting corners are out. This is not a good football team.
People are calling for Harbaugh's head this season, but I don't think he's the problem. Another OC is out. The team is hurt. Team team lacks talent. He's doing what he can, and somehow this team is a game out of first place. He's made a few mistakes, but going for it on fourth down is not one of them.
Trump supporters are the worse

For sticking up for native Americans? What kind of Trump bullshit are you trying to pull? I thought that Floy was the only Trump lover in brownsgaf. SMH

Breh I'm a brown man I don't vote for republicans. Also I wonder if big Ben comes back for the cowboys game.

1/16? Is that Bradford's Cherokee makeup or his completion percentage.

You are not watching us either.
We are also beat the fuck up.
The Dolphins are still running on our depleted ass defense.
Unless Cam and Ben are coming back healthy this is going to be a battle of the bads. Anything goes when that happens.

Sam Bradford is 9th in completion percentage this year. Eli is 16th. https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/player-stat/completion-percentage
Can you imagine some of native decent landing on say the skins roster
And throwing deep better than Eli as well, w/o the benefit of an All-Pro WR

Sad. Baldy is just a big dumb goof who loves his Eagles too much. Thinks like a fan. He was the one who had that ridiculous Wentz line

Interesting take on the Texans QB situation from a local sports radio guy. Basically calls the Texans front office spineless and feels Savage would be a step up. Says he has heard that O'Brien is ready to move on from Brock but the FO would never allow it and that Rick Smith and Bob McNair kind of forced Oz on O'Brien.
He also got me more pumped for Savage to get his shot but he will never get his chance because of the FO.
Is it wrong to kind of want to see Brock get a sprained ankle or some small shit just to get Savage in?

Baldy noooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Hopefully BoB doesn't give Oz the long leash that he gave Hoyer last year. I know a lot of people are saying his only 3 losses were to good teams, but he has looked like crap in a lot of wins this year. What game has he won that Weeden or Savage could have not won?
It's weird. His kid is the QB coach. He's basically coaching to prove his dad was part of the problem

Guys, they're not going to bench their QB who just signed a massive contract in the first year.

While getting new tires installed.
Thats why I asked is it wrong to hope for a minor Oz injury? Twisted ankle? Broken finger? Sandy vagina?
Now if Osweiler just shits the bed in two weeks vs. the Jags coming off a bye? Fans will be demanding blood.
