Week 7 NFL Thread: The Insuffra-Bowl!

And where is the Union? Hiding!

 

He admitted to abusing his wife, so not so much, but you do like making shit up.

 

LOOK: Roethlisberger appears to get kicked by Suh, leading Steelers to file complaint

Steelers file a complaint with the NFL, claiming that Ndamukong Suh intentionally kicked Ben Roethlisberger in the final seconds of Sunday's game. I'm not sure that is worthy of disciplinary action based on the video. It probably should have been a penalty, but that's enough.

That wasn't the only whining out of Pittsburgh today. DeAngelo Williams is complaining about the NFL's decision to only fine Vontaze Burfict rather than suspend him. The difference being, Williams is right. Roger Goodell blew it on that one.

DeAngelo Williams blasts Roger Goodell for not suspending Vontaze Burfict

 

I still think the NFL in London is cool. It's not gotten to the blah stage for me yet. But four games in one day just on free or basic-tier TV is too much. (Five if you count CBS and FOX head-to-head on the 1 p.m. ET games.)

By the way, 9:30 a.m. ET is 2:30 p.m. in the UK.

 

It's also 06:30 in LA.

NFL to Rams fans: Fuck You

 

So West Coast teams should never have to play those games?

 

I believe that game was agreed to before the move was announced and it otherwise would have been a home game in St. Louis, which would have drawn zero fans or eyeballs anyway.

 

Apparently Cowher said tonight that there is "discord" between Rodgers and McCarthy.

 

Maybe they should play night games in England for West Coast teams. But these games are proof the NFL doesn't give a damn about fans.

 

That would be consistent with some of the scuttlebutt that has come out of Wisconsin lately. Surprisingly, this is his 12th season as coach and the belief is that things have gotten rather stale.

 

It's the fans in the U.S. they don't give a damn about. They have those slobbering idiots' money already and there's just about nothing the NFL can do to change that. These international games are about trying to relieve foreign folks of their pounds, euros and pesos.

 

They used to do that. The games were at 6 p.m. in London/1 p.m. EST. This is the first time a West Coast team has played a London game -- and it was announced while the Rams were still in St. Louis. Of all the things to cite as proof of the NFL telling its fans to eff off, this is a weird one.
