Week 16

Bengals got this. I hope they go to the SB this yr. I wanted manning to win but apparently he's not going to be back this season.

I couldn't have shanked any better myself. Didn't realize this game had so many playoff implications on it. Hell if Denver loses they might not make the tourney. But I know an 8 win team that is in like a dirty shirt.

Bengals going back to being Bungles.

Some people are just fucking stupid, cut this guy (Manziel) now.

Rooting for Ohio pro sports teams would be the worst, especially football. The Bungles are still losers. What a choke job. Another 1st round playoff exit coming.

After scoring tds on 1st 2 possessions, they only scored 3 points. Then lose on a botched snap. Epic fail!

Bengals going back to being Bungles.

Cincinnati could very well end up in the SB...

Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning deserved a better ending - NFL (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/14457019/denver-broncos-qb-peyton-manning-deserved-better-ending-nfl)

Do you believe Peyton used HGH? Im not sure, but the allegations by al jezera is HGH was shipped repeatedly to his home in florida to his wife. The only FDA approved uses of HGH are The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the use of the Human Growth Hormone for the treatment of Human Growth Hormone deficiency in adults and in children, as well as, for certain other conditions, including renal insufficiency, HIV infection, etc. Its efficacy in these cases has been well - established by research and medical studies.

So if his wife is seeking treatment for a handful of uses then its explainable...but if not?

I know with certainty that many NFL players use/d HGH because (a) it works and (b) the NFL doesn't test for it (yet).

So while HGH was/is illegal it wasn't tested for by the NFL.

I speculate that's why so many college players easily add 15 lbs of muscle between the end of school and the combine.

If Peyton did use HGH I think he's certainly smart enough to cover his tracks and not get caught like this.

Did the NFL call in to Hochuli to tell him to throw a flag on a missed face mask call? Certainly looked that way and if so, just another reminder of how bad this league is run.

Replay rules state they cannot be used to determine a penalty. I think the NFL decided to secretly start doing this in prime time games after so many botched prime time games this year. But will it be applied evenly? Is it fair to all 32 teams?

"The league has already adopted new policies during the playoffs to allow increased communication between the league’s officiating office and the referee on the field, although those policies expressly prohibit the league office from telling the ref to throw a penalty flag."

Does Peyton Manning have a case against Al Jazeera? (http://www.cnbc.com/2015/12/28/does-peyton-manning-have-case-against-al-jazeera.html)

This is intentionally sloppy click-bait-seeking journalism imo. The single source was some guy named Sly who interned at the "Guyer institute" for 3 months in 2013. Peyton was patient in 2011 only. The al jazeera "reporter" is some type of convicted con man.

Guyer institute has said this guy Sly only interned there for 3 months, 2 years after peyton was a patient and he never got HGH.

Sly himself said he made the whole thing up bc he thought the al jazeera reporter guy (who used to be a sprinter or something) could hook him up, so he said he started dropping random sports names to try and impress the al jazeera reporter.

al jazeera should not be taken seriously in the US. I used to read their web format every day for years until about 2 years ago when they changed it to a us version for us and a different version for the ME. its still slanted bias journalism but it is scrubbed down some.
