Cowherd says whatever is going to get him attention. Although he was very high on Wentz last year too. But it's ultimately meaningless, it's only Week 6. Offensive injuries and regression are still possible

ESPN obtained following letter that Roger Goodell sent to NFL teams within past 30 minutes:
To: Chief Executives/ Club Presidents
From: Commissioner Goodell
Date: October 10, 2017
Re: Fall Meeting/National Anthem
We live in a country that can feel very divided. Sports, and especially the NFL, brings people together and lets them set aside those divisions, at least for a few hours. The current dispute over the National Anthem is threatening to erode the unifying power of our game, and is now dividing us, and our players, from many fans across the country.
Im very proud of our players and owners who have done the hard work over the past year to listen, understand and attempt to address the underlying issues within their communities. At our September committee meetings, we heard directly from several players about why these issues are so important to them and how we can support their work. And last week, we met with the leadership of the NFLPA and more players to advance the dialogue.
Like many of our fans, we believe that everyone should stand for the National Anthem. It is an important moment in our game. We want to honor our flag and our country, and our fans expect that of us. We also care deeply about our players and respect their opinions and concerns about critical social issues. The controversy over the Anthem is a barrier to having honest conversations and making real progress on the underlying issues. We need to move past this controversy, and we want to do that together with our players.
Building on many discussions with clubs and players, we have worked to develop a plan that we will review with you at next weeks League meeting. This would include such elements as an in-season platform to promote the work of our players on these core issues, and that will help to promote positive change in our country. We want to ensure that any work at the League level is consistent with the work that each club is doing in its own community, and that we dedicate a platform that can enable these initiatives to succeed. Additionally, we will continue the unprecedented dialogue with our players.
I expect and look forward to a full and open discussion of these issues when we meet next week in New York. Everyone involved in the game needs to come together on a path forward to continue to be a force for good within our communities, protect the game, and preserve our relationship with fans throughout the country. The NFL is at its best when we ourselves are unified. In that spirit, lets resolve that next week we will meet this challenge in a unified and positive way

I think I'm done with the sport when they make it an official rule you have to stand for the anthem or be punished

I really like how he says he is proud of what the owners have done in the past year to help with this issue. WTF has Bob Kraft or Jerry Jones done to help with BLM?
All you can eat shrimp?
No offense but is Ninja worth that? Last time I checked it was 2017 and not 2007....

It's a compliment. It was during a segment where he was grading all of the young QBs. He gave Wentz the highest grade out of all of them.

Get ready to quit because you know thats happening. Theyll make a token donation to some ineffective civil rights charity to offset the rule change so they have something to point at when the critics come.
I told y'all.

I'm honestly leaning that way as well.

Thank god. Getting the pass rush home on Cam could be the biggest difference maker in this game. If somehow Johnson is good to go then the Eagles prospects could be much better.
This is one of the biggest games of the season IMO.
Expect more free time this Sunday.

I know, hence why I said "when", not "if"
They already blackballed Kaep for starting this, and that was just when he was the only one doing it. They're going the distance here, it's foolish to hope otherwise.
Weather's about to be nice, it's Halloween season, and Sunday's like the third-best day of the week. I'll find something to do.
Will probably still stick around the thread because a lot of you are good and will at least tell the awful white men in the league to fuck off with each despicable move they'll inevitably make, which is a lot more than I can say for other places. Worst case, my PMs will be open <3

Logical conclusion. Owners are under no circumstances going to allow the players to take the sport hostage.
Should be the title of history textbooks

I don't believe that everyone should stand and no you don't fucking care deeply about your players, nor do you fucking respect their opinions and concerns.
You know what league has suspended a player for not standing for the anthem?

The title for last season's 30 for 30

You stanned basketball/the NBA specifically, a league that already has standing for the anthem in its rules. If anything this costs you with a V, not a full W

I was talking to my wife yesterday about the Jerry Jones garbage, and I think having the bye this week will be the break I need to just... stop. If I was a fan of another team, I could get away thinking that maybe my team is probably full of pieces of shit and cowards, but having the receipts is something else. I thought the team deserved their 4-12 record in 2015 for the greg hardy trash.
I can regularly engage with media and stuff that has baggage, but I don't think I can anymore with this bullshit. Fuck Jerry Jones and probably 30 other owners who probably have the same ideas(I figure theres gotta be 1 good one in the league).
just ugh.
fans buy 2 dollar beer for 14 dollars they are both way too important to our income for us to upset them, and also too stupid to try to explain what's really going on, so this is the most milquetoast statement I can possibly make

He already won
The fact that all these media outlets are openly reporting "anthem protests" and ignoring all the other inept bullshit 45 spews out on a daily basis already tells me he won.

I'll stop watching because him and jerry are assholes, not because of his point about the flag, but it technically means ratings are down so he wins either way I guess.
He's made an entire life of failing his way into victory, and not supporting the NFL because he's an asshole gives him the win regardless, so the cycle continues.

Not supporting the NFL -> The owners lose money -> You've pissed off people who donate millions to Trump -> Trump loses
Life is often about compromise.
The JCBs are wise and follow these rules because it is foolish to fight nature.
Nothing is perfect but the NBA remains and will continue to be the official sport of the bois. Greg Pop remains our official spokesperson.
Brady and Billy are probably the reps for the NFL...
He wins if you're using his bullshit to influence your decisions. I'm going to do what I always do, regardless what the orange shitstain wants. He's being divisive, stop taking the bait.

I honestly think Lurie is the one semi-decent one in the group. He fucked up his own statement on the protests but I get the sense that he at least understands why they are doing it and is kind of okay with it. Compared to the other owners he seems like a good guy at least.
Where does MLB stand with the JCB community?

Yeah Chip sure could draft well. I agree.
