Peter King was on the radio the other day talking about how the pension plan was part of the hold up as well. Regardless the refs are gonna get paid more but have less work.

Yeah he said 11 teams dont offer pension plans for any of their employees and they are very opposed to giving them to the refs.

I'd love to work 16 weeks out of the year for that kind of "shit pay".

its relative. sure compared to middle class workers its great. but nfl isnt middle class. just like a rookie 7th rounder getting his 450k is shit pay. its relative to the field man. i also would love to get that much. im just saying that in the nfl world and what they do, they do in my mind deserve a little more
 
I'll never forget that pick he threw in that pig skin pro am a few years back. I won't forget that final drive either but I digress!


Not Joes fault. It was classic perfectly thrown game winning pass that bounced off some bimbos fake tits for an interception.

(from Peter King)
NFC NORTH
1. Bears (11-5)
2. Packers (11-5)*
3. Lions (9-7)
4. Vikings (4-12)

I think the Packers will finish ahead of the Bears by at least one game. 9-7 seems right for the Lions, sadly. I can't convince myself that we make the playoffs without a running game or secondary again, with an improved Bears team to deal with

Why you gotta break me down bro? Can't I ever be happy for my shitty team? :(

And trick question, NHL is gonna be locked out so the Leafs won't even play a game!

So they'll have the same amount of wins this year?

I kid!

Nobody thinks the Jets are going to make the playoffs. Tebowmania will strike again! This time all the way to the Lombardi.
 
That SB was so fucking heartbreaking, and I didn't even hate the Steelers as much back then. So wrong.

The Cards deserved to lose that game for letting fat ass James Harrison run 100 yards for a TD. Dude had to straight up get hooked up to oxygen right after he was so out of breath.

Plus they decided to go into prevent defense on the final drive. Fucking retards.

I felt so bad for Fitz. If anyone deserves a ring, its that guy.

Why? There's lots of classy, hard working and productive players who never get rings. Fitz has signed two extensions with that team. He knows how crappy that organization is. If he wanted out he could have got out

Yea he should have realized a long time ago that even Sam Walton learned how to be cheap from Bidwill.

Ralph Wilson is in the hospital, but seems he'll be okay

Something I heard the other day is that Buffalo uses an artificial turf that no one else uses. Field Turn costs about $450k to install, but a local company offered to install its turf for $150k. Nothing says it's any more dangerous than field turf though.

I guess there was a study by the NFL and NFLPA a few years back that said that ACL injuries occur at an 80% higher rate on field turf than they do on grass, which backs up Ben's complain about guys getting their legs stuck in the stuff

Damn. Lurie said at a press conference that if Reid goes 8-8 he gets fired. Will be evaluated after the season regardless

Wow what a high bar to reach!

Really Lurie? Really? So after a season where everyone had your team pegged as top contender out of the NFC and the utter failure of the team, the bar you have set for Reid to surpass is the horrid record they reached last season?

Are you fucking kidding me? Its year 14! It should be "PLAYOFFS or he gets fired".

With the talent on this team and barring any real serious injury (which would be an excuse anyway), they should be able to get to 9-10 wins. A whole 1 or 2 games better than last season.

Nice goal setting there Lurie. Not playoffs or SB. No just be better than 8-8. Dear god Reid really is going to coach this team forever.
