At 7:40, he says 15 yards is worth it and basically says they should take cheap shots if he runs to send a message and knock him out of the game...wow wtf? [Reply]

Shut up, dummy. Now go make me some coffee barista boy. I know that’s a lot to ask as I’m sure you are busy protesting for whatever new gender you left coasters came up with this week. [Reply]

He didn't exactly say to hit him illegally - he said don't do what the Titans did and pull up out of fear of getting a penalty. Err on the side of aggression, essentially.
Remember when Speaks let go of Brady and said it was because he was afraid of a penalty and we all called him an idiot? Because he was an idiot? I think that's probably how he meant what he said there, especially when considered in context of the conversation with King. He's saying hit the guy any chance you get - just as we said w/ Derrick Henry. He didn't say hurt him, he didn't say cheap shot him. He said do everything you can to make him aware that it's gonna be a long day.
Don't get me wrong - I'd still be fine with him being cast into an AIDS pit, but less because of that than just his overall dickishness.
Actually, he did imply they should take cheap shots. He said they shouldn't be afraid to take a penalty for hitting him after he starts a slide or is going out of bounds. [Reply]
People need to stop giving this idiot a platform by reposting and talking about his drivel.
Unfollow him and their stupid feed. Stop spreading their nonsense around the internet and giving them clicks. You're playing right into their hands when you do that. [Reply]

I would not be too riled up about it if not for the sliding comment. Which hints at something a lot more sinister. That's bountygate. And he should apologize for that and clarify rather than double down on it. This is a Tonya harding scenario and it's terrible for sports no matter which team you're rooting for. Again, very different from suggesting we hit a player hard to send a message within the framework of the rules. [Reply]
Some Chiefs fans are getting a little riled up about the obvious reality that 49ers defensive players may choose to hit Patrick Mahomes hard if he chooses to abandon all quarterback protections and run the ball https://t.co/pR4h2kBls8

Florio is not skip Bayless. He is supposed to be a credible news provider. This is a very bad look for him and I can't imagine the NFL is too happy with his comments. In this case, keep the clicks coming. [Reply]
Also, keep the clicks coming. The more this gets attention the closer an eye the refs will put on the 49ers trying to do anything even remotely dirty to mahomes. I still remember the jags and ravens game where they kepglt getting away with cheap shot late hits. [Reply]
So I watched some comments made by Ryan Clark and Marcus Spears, etc., and now I think I get where this stuff is coming from.
At one point, they asked Ryan Clark what he would do if Pat tried to run on his Steelers D for that TD, back in the day. And Ryan without hesitation said, "we'd light him up. There's a reason QBs ran straight for the sidelines when you look at film of QBs running back then. If you tried to run like these guys do now, a LB or a S would put their mark on you." (paraphrased)
And then I remembered just what it was like before they installed all these "protect the QB" rules. And he's right; QBs never ran like what we're seeing in the last couple years, because the risk was much, much higher back then. The defense would make it a point to tattoo a QB for running for big yards on them, because it made them look bad. [Reply]
