I'll admit I'm still trying to get into the spirit. Life lesson NFL is a very great idea though and I'm sure I'll warm up to it. I just had parents is all, so I feel like I've learned life lessons that way. I'll keep an open mind about more life lessons. No doubt this is the sphere the NFL rightly needs to be making waves in.
Be careful friend. Roger Goodell is watching you. [Reply]
Come on man. They need to set a precedent. This is the first time in sports that someone said uncomplimentary things about the opposition. I remember my days of street ball at Ruckers park and if someone called me a name, I called foul. Every time. [Reply]

Just bad people.
Anyone that supports this league or this team while Chris Jones still draws a paycheck from it is just as complicit as he is and just as deserving of scorn.
Tired shtick from a tired bundle of shticks. [Reply]

Let's face it, NFL officials set "precedent" as needed in order to influence the show. So, like an umpire's inexplicable strike zone in baseball sometimes, NFL officials, when needed (but not always (to keep up appearances)) set "precedent" as needed to keep the show entertaining. Then people claim everything from "it' a hard job" to "they can't see everything" to "they were letting them play" to "player safety" to justify why there's a lack of consistency. [Reply]
